Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #XXXIVb (1785) Hymnal Title: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David First Line: Children, in years and knowledge young Lyrics: 1 Children, in years and knowledge young, Your parents' hope, your parents' joy, Attend the counsels of my tongue, Let pious thoughts your minds employ. 2 If you desire a length of days, And peace to crown your mortal state, Restrain your feet from impious ways, Your lips from slander and deceit. 3 The eyes of GOD regard his saints, His ears are open to their cries; He sets his frowning face against The sons of violence and lies. 4 To humble souls and broken hearts GOD with his grace is ever nigh; Pardon and hope his love imparts When men in deep contrition lie. 5 He tells their tears, he counts their groans, His Son redeems their souls from death; His spirit heals their broken bones, His praise employs their tuneful breath. Scripture: Psalm 34:11-12 Languages: English
