Author: I. Watts Appears in 488 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 'Tis, like the sun, a heavenly light
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey,
The earth maintains her place;
And these Thy servants, night and day
Thy skill and power express.
4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than Thy word,
Nor stars so nobly shine.
5 Thy word is everlasting truth:
How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide our youth
And well support our age. Topics: Children's Service Children's Service; Children's Service Children's Service; Children's Services; Word of God Used With Tune: [How shall the young secure their hearts]
