| Text: | Thou Art My Portion, Lord |
| Author: | Anonymous |
| Tune: | CARLISLE |
| Composer: | Charles Lockhart, 1745-1815 |
1 Thou art my portion, Lord;
thy words I ever heed;
with all my heart thy grace I seek,
thy promises I plead.
2 I thought upon my ways,
thy testimonies learned;
with earnest haste, and waiting not,
to thy commands I turned.
3 While snares beset my path,
thy law I keep in view;
at midnight I will give thee praise
for all thy judgments true.
4 All those who fear thy name
shall my companions be;
thy mercy fills the earth, O Lord;
thy statutes teach thou me.
