#177: Thy Word Have I Hid in My Heart

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

Thy Word is a lamp to my fee,

A light to my path alway,

To guide and to save me from sin

And show me the heav’nly way.

CHORUS

Thy word have I hid in my heart, (in my heart,) 

That I might not sin against Thee; (against Thee;)

That I might not sin, that I  might not sin,

Thy Word have I hid in my heart.

2

Forever, O Lord, is Thy Word

Established and fixed on high;

Thy faithfulness unto all men

Abideth forever nigh.

CHORUS

3

At morning, at noon, and at night

I ever will give Thee praise;

For Thou art my portion, O Lord,

And shall be thru all my days!

CHORUS

4

Thru Him whom Thy Word hath foretold;

The Savior and Morning Star,

Salvation and peace have been brought

To those who have strayed afar.

CHORUS
