They who Love the Law

Great peace have they that love thy law, Them nothing will offend; They'll bear neglect, reproach and scorn, Though without cause contemned.

Their innocence will bear them up, Though falsely they're accused; Their hearts will melt with love for those By whom they are abused.

The court of Heaven their cause will plead, The innocent will clear; Though men may load their names with guilt, While they continue here.

A consciousness of right within, Great peace and joy afford; How free, how happy, oh! how blest, Communing with the Lord.

He says revile not, when reviled, Thy wrongs I will repay; Be every burden cast on me, I'll be thy strength and stay.
