Psalms 119:72

• [Psa 119:72] Begin, My Tongue, Some Heavenly Theme

  Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme And speak some boundless thing; The mighty works, or mightier Name Of our eternal King. Tell of His wonderful faithfulness And sound His power abroad; Sing the sweet promise of His grace, The love and truth of God. [originally, And the performing God] Proclaim “salvation from the Lord For wretched, dying men”; His hand has writ the sacred Word With an immortal pen. Engraved as in eternal brass The mighty promise shines; Nor can the powers of darkness ‘rase Those everlasting lines. He that can dash whole worlds to death, And make them when He please, He speaks, and that almighty breath Fulfils His great decrees. His every word of grace is strong As that which built the skies; The voice that rolls the stars along Speaks all the promises. He said, “Let the wide heav’n be spread,” And heav’n was stretched abroad: “Abram, I’ll be thy God,” He said, And He was Abram’s God. O might I hear Thy heavenly tongue But whisper, “Thou art Mine!” Those gentle words shall raise my song To notes almost divine. How would my leaping heart rejoice, And think my heav’n secure! I trust the all creating voice, And faith desires no more.

Psalms 119:105

• [Psa 119:105] Bible Is A Brilliant Lamp, The

  The Bible is a brilliant lamp, Given to light up our way, To show our feet the way to tread, To turn darkness into day. To teach to us the Father’s love, And the Evil One’s cruel hate, To show the path round many snares, The way to the pearly gate. Given to all who truly seek, For wisdom, meaning and love, Instruction in life’s mysteries, The way to Heaven above. And once you grasp the lamp, do not Hoard that brilliant, precious light, But share with all the radiant beam, And watch it conquer the night.

• [Psa 119:105] How Precious Is The Book Divine

  How precious is the book divine, By inspiration giv’n; Bright as a lamp its pages shine To guide our souls to Heav’n. Its light descending from above, Our gloomy world to cheer, Displays a Savior’s boundless love, And brings His glories near. Refrain Oh precious book of light and life Thou source of truth and love, In Thee we view God’s matchless grace, And all His goodness prove, Oh precious book whose light e’er shines With bright and cheering ray, To guide our souls until the dawn Of the eternal day. It shows to man his wand’ring ways, And where his feet have trod; And brings to view the matchless grace Of a forgiving God. O’er all the straight and narrow way Its radiant beams are cast; A light whose never weary ray Grows brightest at the last. Refrain It sweetly cheers our fainting hearts In this dark vale of tears; Life, light and joy it still imparts, And quells our rising fears. This lamp, through all the tedious night Of life, shall guide our way, Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day. Refrain

• [Psa 119:105] Lamp Of Our Feet

  Lamp of our feet whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heav’nly grace, Brook by the traveler’s way. Bread of our souls whereon we feed, True manna from on high; Our guide and chart wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky. Pillar of fire, through watches dark, Or radiant cloud by day; When waves would break our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay. Word of the ever living God, Will of His glorious Son; Without Thee, how could earth be trod Or Heav’n itself be won? Yet to unfold thy hidden worth, Thy mysteries to reveal, That Spirit which first gave thee forth, Thy volume must unseal. Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts And to its heavenly teaching turn With simple, childlike hearts.

• [Psa 119:105] Lead, Kindly Light

  Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom, lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home; lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years! So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on. O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till the night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile, which I Have loved long since, and lost awhile! Meantime, along the narrow rugged path, Thyself hast trod, Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith, home to my God. To rest forever after earthly strife In the calm light of everlasting life.

  More light shall break from out Thy Word For pilgrim followers of the gleam, Till, led by Thy free Spirit, Lord, We see and share the pilgrim dream. What mighty hopes are in our care, What holy dreams of brotherhood; God of our Fathers, help us dare Their passion for the common good. Wild roars the blast, the storm is high; Above the storm are shining still The lights by which we live and die; Our peace is ever in Thy will. The ancient stars, the ancient faith, Defend us till our voyage is done; Across the floods of fear and death The Mayflower still is sailing on.

  This is Jesus’ precious Bible, This the gift of God’s right hand; Teaching how to die triumphant, How to live His pure command; This reveals the loss we suffered When in Eden sin enticed; And it shows the way to glory If we follow Jesus Christ. Precious Bible! in my bosom Thy dear words a home shall find. Countless blessings are, with beauty, In Thy promises assigned; My poor heart once roamed a desert, Vast and dry, of withered sod, Till Thy guidance brought me through it To the living stream of God. I will hide Thy words within me Deep, where time cannot delete; Thou art light upon my pathway, And a lamp unto my feet; Friend Thou art on life’s long journey Biding through my hours of care, And through heaven’s eternal ages— Thou my treasure ever there.
