Lord, I have made Thy word my choice

by Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 273.

Verse 1

Lord, I have made Thy word my choice, My lasting heritage; There shall my noblest pow’rs rejoice, My warmest thoughts engage.

Verse 2

I’ll read the histories of Thy love, And keep Thy laws in sight; While through Thy promises I rove, With ever fresh delight.

Verse 3

In this broad land of wealth unknown, Where springs of life arise, Seeds of immortal bliss are sown, And hidden glory lies.

Verse 4

The best relief that mourners have, It makes our sorrows blest; Our fairest hope beyond the grave, And our eternal rest.
