  1. 1Thou art my portion, Oh my God!
  2. Soon as I know Thy way,
  3. My heart makes haste t' obey Thy word,
  4. And suffers no delay.
  5. 2I choose the path of heavenly truth,
  6. And glory in my choice;
  7. Not all the riches of the earth
  8. Could make me so rejoice.
  9. 3The testimonies of Thy grace
  10. I set before mine eyes:
  11. Thence I derive my daily strength,
  12. And there my comfort lies.
  13. 4Whene'er I wander from Thy path,
  14. I think upon my ways;
  15. Then turn my feet to Thy commands,
  16. And trust Thy pardoning grace.
  17. 5Now I am Thine, for ever Thine:
  18. O save Thy servant, Lord!
  19. Thou art my shield, my hiding-place;
  20. My hope is in Thy word.
  21. 6Thou hast inclined this heart of mine
  22. Thy statutes to fulfil;
  23. And thus till mortal life shall end
  24. Would I perform Thy will.
