<p>How shall the young secure their hearts<br>
And guard their lives from sin?<br>
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts<br>
To keep the conscience clean.</p>
<p>When once it enters to the mind,<br>
It spreads such light abroad,<br>
The meanest souls instruction find,<br>
And raise their thoughts to God.</p>
<p>&#8217;Tis, like the sun, a heav&#8217;nly light<br>
That guides us all the day,<br>
And through the dangers of the night<br>
A lamp to lead our way.</p>
<p>The men that keep Thy law with care,<br>
And meditate Thy Word,<br>
Grow wiser than their teachers are,<br>
And better know the Lord.</p>
<p>Thy precepts make me truly wise:<br>
I hate the sinner&#8217;s road;<br>
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,<br>
But love Thy law, my God.</p>
<p>The starry heav&#8217;ns Thy rule obey,<br>
The earth maintains her place;<br>
And these Thy servants, night and day,<br>
Thy skill and power express.</p>
<p>But still Thy law and Gospel, Lord,<br>
Have lessons more divine;<br>
Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word,<br>
Nor stars so nobly shine.</p>
<p>Thy Word is everlasting truth;<br>
How pure is every page!<br>
That holy Book shall guide our youth<br>
And well support our age.</p>
