PSALM 119:33-40 METER: CMD (86 86 D) SUGGESTED TUNE: CLEANSING FOUNTAIN This is the meter for such hymns as "There Is a Fountain Filed with Blood." 1. Teach me the way of your laws, Lord; I'll keep them to the end. Give insight to me, that I may Wholeheartedly obey. Lead me in your commandments' path, For in them I delight. Incline my heart unto your word, And not to my own gain. 2. Let me not look at vanities; Give me life in your ways. Confirm to me your promise sure, For all those who fear you. Turn back the reproach which I dread; Your ord'nances are good. Lo, for your precepts do I long; In justice give me life. Reprinted by permission of the publisher from Sing the Psalms! by Dale A.
