My Grieving Soul Revive, O Lord

My grieving soul revive, O Lord,
According to Thy Word;
To Thee my ways I have declared
And Thou my prayer hast heard.

Teach me to know Thy holy way
And think upon Thy deeds;
In grief I ask for promised grace
According to my need.

Keep me from falsehood, let Thy law
With me in grace abide;
The way of faithfulness I choose,
Thy precepts are my guide.

I cleave unto Thy truth, O Lord,
From shame deliver me;
In glad obedience I will live
Through strength bestowed by Thee.

This is a metrical paraphrase of Psalm 119:25-32 (likely from the 1912 Psalter or a similar early 20th-century psalter tradition). No specific author is credited in common sources; it is treated as traditional or anonymous versification rather than the work of a known hymn writer such as Watts, Wesley, or Montgomery.
