Jeremiah 31:33: That blessed law of Thine

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

That blessed law of Thine,
Jesus, to me impart,
Thy Spirit's law of life Divine,
O write it in my heart;
Implant it deep within.
Whence it may ne'er remove,
The law of liberty from sin.
The perfect law of love.

Thy nature be my law.
Thy spotless sanctity,
And sweetly every moment draw
My happy soul to Thee:
Soul of my soul remain;
Who didst for all fulfil.
In me, O Lord, fulfil again
Thy heavenly Father's will.
