Constant Counselors

"Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors" (Psalm 119:24). "Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart, nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand" (Proverbs 19:20,21).

The testimonies of the Lord
Are truly my delight.
They are my constant counselors
Declaring what is right.

The vain devices of our hearts
Shall vanish in the end,
But counsel that our God imparts
Is like a steadfast friend.

Let His counsel then command,
And let our hearts obey.
The counsel of the Lord shall stand;
All others fade away.
