Early Piety

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Youth encouraged to seek the Lord First Line: How soft the words my Savior speaks! Lyrics: 1 How soft the words my Savior speaks! How kind the promises he makes! A bruised reed he never breaks, Now will he quench the smoking flax. 2 The humble poor he won't despise, Nor on the contrite sinner frown; His ear is open to their cries, He quickly sends salvation down. 3 When piety in early minds, Like tender buds, begins to shoot, He guards the plants from threatening winds And ripens blossoms into fruit. 4 With humble souls he bears a part In all the sorrows they endure; Tender and gracious is his heart, His promise is for ever sure. 5 He sees the struggles that prevail Between the powers of grace and sin: He kindly listens while they tell The bitter pangs they fell within. 6 Tho' press'd with fears on ev'ry side, They know not how the strife may end; Yet he will soon the cause decide, And judgment unto vict'ry send. Scripture: Matthew 12:20

A lovely youth falling short of Heaven

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Youth encouraged to seek the Lord First Line: Must all the charms of nature then Lyrics: 1 Must all the charms of nature then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heaven condemn The man whom Jesus deigns to love?— 2 The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbours all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, Who thought he wanted nothing new? 3 But mark the change: thus spake the Lord, "Come, part with earth for heaven to-day," The youth, astonish'd at the word, In silent sadness went his way. 4 Poor virtues, that he boasted so, This test unable to endure, Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! 5 Ah foolish choice of treasures here! Ah fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? 6 In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me; Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee. Scripture: Mark 10:21 Text Sources: Dr. Watts's Sermons

Scripture: Psalm 119:9
