Lyrics from "Simple Gifts"

Great Peace Have They Which Love Thy Law
by James H. Rogers

A song composed to let the voice flow as smoothly as poured water, exemplifying the “peace” in the title and text; the effect is comforting, calming, edifying.

Text: Psalm 119: 165, 166, 175, 176

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord, and thy law is my delight.

Let my soul live and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
