Comforting Commandment

"My son, keep thy father's commandment.... When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp" (Proverbs 6:22,23).

What a comfort when I go,
As I walk this pilgrim way!
God's commandment then shall show
And lead me in His truth each day.

What a comfort when I sleep
As the day comes to a close!
God's commandment then shall keep
And give me rest from all my foes.

What a comfort when I wake
As I rise again to walk.
God's commandment then shall take
And counsel me and with me talk.
