Thou art my portion, O my God; Soon as I know Thy way, My heart makes haste t'obey Thy word, And suffers no delay. I choose the path of heav'nly truth, And glory in my choice; Not all the riches or the earth Could make me so rejoice. Thy precepts and Thy heav'nly grace I set before my eyes; Thence I derive my daily strength, And there my comfort lies.
