Most Perfect Is the Law of God

(KINSMAN. 8.6.8.6 with refrain)
1.

Most perfect is the law of God,
restoring those that stray;
his testimony is most sure,
proclaiming wisdom's way.

Refrain:
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.

2.

The precepts of the Lord are right;
with joy they fill the heart;
the Lord's commandments all are pure,
and clearest light impart.

Refrain:
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.

3.

The fear of God is undefiled
and ever shall endure;
the statutes of the Lord are truth
and righteousness most pure.

Refrain:
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.

4.

They warn from ways of wickedness
displeasing to the Lord,
and in the keeping of his Word
there is a great reward.

Refrain:
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
O how love I thy law! O how love I thy law!
It is my meditation all the day.
