Thy words unto my taste are sweet
O Lord of hosts, Thy truth I love
The light it shed, before my feet
Streams from Thy dazzling place above.
2.
O joy, within the page to find
Such wondrous treasures of Thy mind
To trace the mysteries of Thy mind
And reach the splendours of Thy throne
3.
No human wisdom touched that height
No creature tongues sang that high strain
Thy breath breath’d forth the holy light
Thy finger scroll’d the message plain.
4.
Yet, mighty word. Thou stoopedst low
To falt’ring lip and feeble hand
For humble men spake long ago
Such wisdom as Thy spirit planned
5.
To profit him that hungereth
With rich delight and doctrine pure
To quicken love and strengthen faith
And make his heav’nly calling sure.
6.
O Truth, who grandly traced the way
O love, who trod it with delight
Grant all Thy children grace, we pray
To walk well pleasing in Thy sight.
Amen
