Let Youth Praise Him ‎#103

103. Keep Thou the Door of My Lips

1 Keep Thou the door of my lips, O Lord,
For this I ask today;
Let me be brave to speak the truth
In all the words I say.

2 Help me to speak kind words to all
When at my work and play;
May only words that please Thee, Lord,
Fall from my lips today.
