Instruction from Scripture

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #218b (1740) Topics: Counsel and Support from God First Line: How shall the Young secure their Hearts 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 119:9 Languages: English

Delight in Scripture; or, The Word of God dwelling in us

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #220 (1740) Topics: Counsel and Support from God First Line: O how I love thy holy Law Lyrics: 1 O how I love thy holy Law; 'Tis daily my delight; And thence my Meditations draw Divine advice by Night. 2 My waking Eyes prevent the Day To meditate thy Word; My Soul with Longing melts away To hear thy Gospel, Lord. 3 How doth thy Word my Heart engage! 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.
