Jesus, thy word is my delight

1Jesus, thy word is my delight,
There peace and refuge I have seen;
O could I study day and night,
And meditate on things divine!

2O Lamb of God, the book unseal,
And let thy hearts expand;
Let all its life and spirit feel,
And heavenly wisdom gain.

3That thou for us didst live and die,
Make known to us, dear Lord;
To us the promises apply,
Recorded in thy word.
