Let Youth Praise Him ‎#119

119. Children, Speak the Truth

1 Children, children, speak the truth,
Never, never tell a lie;
Learn this lesson while in youth,
Never tell a lie.

Chorus:
Ever speak the truth, O speak the truth;
Speak the truth, O speak the truth;
Ever speak the truth, O speak the truth;
Children, speak the truth.

2 God has spoken this in love,
Never, never tell a lie;
And He watches from above,
Never tell a lie. [Chorus]

3 Help us, Father, day by bay,
Never, never tell a lie;
This commandment to obey,
Never tell a lie. [Chorus]
