How shall the Young secure their Hearts

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P119d (1766) Topics: Counsel and Support from God Lyrics: 1 How shall the Young secure their Hearts, And guard their Lives from Sin; Thy Word the choicest Rules imparts To keep the Conscience clean. 2 When once it enters to the Mind, It spreads such Light abroad, The meanest Souls Instruction find, And raise their Thoughts to GOD. 3 'Tis like the Sun, a heav'nly Light, That guides us all the Day; And through the Dangers of the Night, A Lamp to lead our Way. 4 The Men that keep thy Law with Care, And meditate thy Word, Grow wiser than their Teachers are, And better know the Lord. 5 Thy Precepts make me truly wise; I hate the Sinner's Road; I hate my own vain Thoughts that rise, But love thy Law, my GOD. 6 [The starry Heav'ns thy Rule obey, The Earth maintains her Place; And these thy Servants Night and Day Thy Skill and Pow'r express. 7 But still thy Law and Gospel, Lord, Have Lessons more divine: Not Earth stands firmer than thy Word, Nor Stars so nobly shine.] 8 Thy Word is everlasting Truth; How pure is ev'ry Page! That holy Book shall guide our Youth, And well support our Age. Scripture: Psalm 119:99-100 Languages: English

How well employ my Tongue? And in my tiresome Pilgrimage Yields me a heav'nly Song. 4 Am I a Stranger, or at Home; 'Tis my perpetual Feast; Not Honey dropping from the Comb So much allures the Taste. 5 No Treasures so enrich the Mind; Nor shall thy Word be sold For Loads of Silver well refin'd, Nor Heaps of choicest Gold. 6 When Nature sinks, and Spirits droop, Thy Promises of Grace Are Pillars to support my Hope, And there I write thy Praise.
