(154) Perfection of the Law and Testimony.

Thy law is perfect, Lord of light;

Thy testimonies sure;

The statutes of thy realm are right,

And thy commandments pure.

2 Let these, O God, my soul convert,

And make thy servant wise;

Let those be gladness to my ears--

The dayspring to mine eyes.

3 By these may I be warned betimes;

Who knows the guile within?

Lord, save me from presumptuous crimes;

Cleanse me from secret sin.

4 So may the words my lips express--

The thoughts that throng my mind--

O Lord, my strength and righteousness,

With thee acceptance find.

C. Wesley.
