In your radiance life from heaven now is given overflowing, gift of gifts beyond all knowing. 2 Left to ourselves, we surely stray; O lead us on the narrow way, with wisest counsel guide us; and give us steadfastness, that we may follow you for ever free, no matter who derides us. Gently heal those hearts now broken; give some token you are near us, whom we trust to light and cheer us. 3 O mighty rock, O source of life, let your good word in doubt and strife be in us strongly burning, that we be faithful unto death and live in love and holy faith, from you true wisdom learning. Lord, your mercy on us shower; by your power Christ confessing, we will cherish all your blessing.

With my whole heart I'll raise my song

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119 Lyrics: With my whole heart I've sought thy face: O let me never stray From thy commands, O God of grace, Nor tread the sinner's way.

I'm a companion of the saints Who fear and love the Lord; My sorrows rise, my nature faints, When men transgress thy word. While sinners do thy gospel wrong My spirit stands in awe; My soul abhors a lying tongue, But loves thy righteous law. My heart with sacred rev'rence hears The threat'nings of thy word; My flesh with holy trembling fears The judgments of the Lord. My God, I long, I hope, I wait, For thy salvation still; While thy whole law is my delight, And I obey thy will.
