The Statutes of the Lord (O How I Love Thy Law!)
James McGranahan

The statutes of the Lord are right and do rejoice the heart;
The Lord's command is pure, and doth light to the eyes impart.
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day;
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law; It is my meditation all the day. (all the day.)

Unspotted is the fear of God and ever doth endure;
The judgments of the Lord are truth and righteousness most pure.
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day;
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law; It is my meditation all the day. (all the day.)

They, more than gold, yea, much fine gold, to be desired are,
than honey from the honeycomb that droppeth sweeter far.
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day;
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law; It is my meditation all the day. (all the day.)

Moreover, they Thy servant warn how he his life should frame;
A great reward provided is for them that keep the same.
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day;
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law; It is my meditation all the day. (all the day.)

O do not suffer sin to have dominion over me;
I shall be righteous, then, and from the great transgression free.
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law! It is my meditation all the day;
O how love I Thy law, O how love I Thy law; It is my meditation all the day. (all the day.)
