How shall the young secure their hearts

Author: Watts Appears in 487 hymnals 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 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light, That guides us all the day; And through the dangers of the night A lamp to lead our way. 3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey; The earth maintains her place; And these Thy servants, night and day, Thy skill and power express. 4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord, Have lessons more divine; Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word, Nor stars so nobly shine. 5 Thy Word is everlasting truth: How pure is every page! That holy Book shall guide our youth, And well support our age. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God; Sexagesima Sunday Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: TIVERTON

Do you not know? Have you not heard

Author: Isaac Watts 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Do you not know? Have you not heard that firm remains on high the everlasting throne of him who formed the earth and sky? 2 Are you afraid his power will fail when comes your evil day? And can an all-creating arm grow weary or decay? 3 Supreme in wisdom as in power the Rock of ages stands; though him you cannot see, nor trace the working of his hands. 4 He gives the conquest to the weak, supports the fainting hearts; and courage in the evil hour his help from heaven imparts. 5 Mere human power shall fade and die, and youthful vigour cease; but those who wait upon the Lord in strength shall still increase. 6 They with unwearied feet shall tread the path of life divine, with growing zeal shall onward move, with growing brightness shine.
