Let Youth Praise Him ‎#109

109. To Thy Father and Thy Mother

1 To thy father and thy mother
Honor, love and rev'rence pay,
This command, before all other,
Must a Christian child obey.

2 Jesus Christ my Lord, fulfilled it
In his home at Nazareth,
So His heav'nly Father will'd it,
While a child He dwelt beneath.

3 Help me, Lord, in this sweet duty,
Guide me in Thy steps divine,
Show me all the joy and beauty
Of obedience such as Thine.

Amen.
