"I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O Lord, will I sing. I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.... I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.... A froward heart shall depart from me" (Psalm 101:1-4).
Surely there are holy things
To fill my house and heart.
And though my froward heart still clings,
It shall from me depart.
For I will sing of heaven's claim
That judgment was fulfilled,
When Jesus Christ my Savior came
As God, in mercy, willed.
Thus in my house, before my King,
I would, by grace, be wise.
And I would set no wicked thing
At all before my eyes.
