Verse 1

My soul finds rest in God alone

My rock and my salvation

A fortress strong against my foes

And I will not be shaken

Though lips may bless

And hearts may curse

And lies like arrows pierce me

I'll fix my heart on righteousness

I'll look to Him who hears me

O praise Him hallelujah

My Delight and my Reward

Everlasting never failing

My Redeemer my God

Verse 2

Find rest my soul in God alone

Amid the world's temptations

When evil seeks to take a hold

I'll cling to my salvation

Though riches come and riches go

Don't set your heart upon them

The fields of hope in which I sow

Are harvested in heaven

Chorus 1

O praise Him hallelujah

My Delight and my Reward

Everlasting never failing

My Redeemer my God

Verse 3

I'll set my gaze on God alone

And trust in Him completely

With ev'ry day pour out my soul

And He will prove His mercy

Though life is but a fleeting breath

A sigh too brief to measure

My King has crushed

The curse of death

And I am His forever

Chorus 1

O praise Him hallelujah

My Delight and my Reward

Everlasting never failing

My Redeemer my God

Verse 1

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see

Verse 2

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

Verse 3

Through many dangers toils and snares

I have already come

'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home

Verse 4

When we've been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we've first begun

Proverbs 4:7–9 (ESV)

The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.”

Proverbs 2:1–6 (ESV)

My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Psalm 1:1–6 (ESV)

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
