Treasures of Truth

"Observe and hear… that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God" (Deuteronomy 12:28).   "Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD" (Psalm 107:43).  "But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear… Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old" (Matthew 13:16,52). 

We have observed that God is good

In countless blessings we've  explored,

And thereby we have understood

The lovingkindness of the Lord. 

How blest the sight is of the eyes

From which the Lord has dried all tears.

How blest the sound is to the wise

Of truth they treasure in their ears.

As scribes who write instruction down,

Preserving truths that they have heard,

The blessings of our Lord shall crown

The hearts of those who love His Word. 

O Lord, we thank You for the treasures

Of truth that makes us free indeed

As Your instruction rightly measures

And meets our deep, eternal need.
