Breathing after Holiness. Ps. 119. 5, 29-37, 133

1 O that the Lord would guide my ways
  To keep his statutes still!
  O that my God would grant me grace
  To know and do his will.

2 O send thy Spirit down to write
  Thy law upon my heart!
  Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,
  Nor act the liar’s part.

3 From vanity turn off my eyes;
  Let no corrupt design,
  Nor covetous desires, arise
  Within this soul of mine.

4 Order my footsteps by thy word,
  And make my heart sincere;
  Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
  But keep my conscience clear.

5 Make me to walk in thy commands;
  ’Tis a delightful road;
  Nor let my head, or heart, or hands,
  Offend against my God.
