God’s word is so pure and so pre¤cious to me;
Its pre¤cepts I love and a¤¤dore;
A lamp to my feet, and a light to my path,
Till pil¤grim¤age days are no ¤more.

Chorus:
’Tis bet¤ter than thou¤sands of sil¤ver and gold,
¤More pre¤cious than ru¤bies can ¤be,
To sit at the feet of my Mas¤ter di¤vine,
And hear when He speak¤eth to ¤me.

How peace¤ful and pleas¤ant the ways of the Lord;
When un¤der the Sav¤iour’s con¤¤trol;
The word that He speak¤eth is spir¤it and life,
Re¤fresh¤ing and sweet to my ¤soul.

I hear and o¤bey, and my soul is set free;
To fol¤low my Sav¤iour and ¤King;
I cher¤ish His word deep¤ly hid in my heart,
Re¤joic¤ing, His prais¤es I ¤sing.

Oh, Lord, let my heart in Thy stat¤utes be sound;
Thy law is my joy and de¤¤light;
In¤cline now the heart of Thy serv¤ant I pray,
To pon¤der there¤in day and ¤night.
