Lyrics

When quiet in my house I sit,
Thy book be my companion still, (Deut. 6:6-7, Ps. 1:2, Ps. 119:16, Ps. 119:24, Ps. 119:105, Prov. 6:22)
My joy thy sayings to repeat, (Josh. 1:8, Ps. 1:2, Ps. 119:47, Ps. 119:97, Ps. 119:103, Jer. 15:16)
Talk o’er the records of thy will, (Deut. 6:7)
And search the oracles divine, (Ps. 119:11, John 5:39)
’Till every heart-felt word is mine.
