Thy Words Unto My Taste Are Sweet
"How sweet are Thy words unto my taste." - Ps. 119:105
VERSE 1
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.
VERSE 2
O joy, within the page to find
Such wondrous treasures all my own;
To trace the mysteries of thy mind,
And reach the splendours of Thy throne!
VERSE 3
No human wisdom touched that height,
No creature tongue sang that high strain
Thy breath breath'd forth the holy light,
Thy finger scroll'd the message plain.
VERSE 4
Yet, Mighty Word, Thou stopedst low
To falt'ring lip and feeble hand,
For humble men spake long ago,
Such wisdom as Thy Spirit planned.
VERSE 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.
