Instruction from Scripture

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #218b (1740) Topics: Book of Nature and Scripture First Line: How shall the Young secure their Hearts 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 When once it enters to the Mind, It spreads such Light abroad, The meanest Souls Instruction find, And raise their Thoughts to GOD. 3 'Tis like the Sun, a heav'nly Light, That guides us all the Day; And through the Dangers of the Night, A Lamp to lead our Way. 4 The Men that keep thy Law with Care, And meditate thy Word, Grow wiser than their Teachers are, And better know the Lord. 5 Thy Precepts make me truly wise; I hate the Sinner's Road; I hate my own vain Thoughts that rise, But love thy Law, my GOD. 6 [The starry Heav'ns thy Rule obey, The Earth maintains her Place; And these thy Servants Night and Day Thy Skill and Pow'r express. 7 But still thy Law and Gospel, Lord, Have Lessons more divine; Not Earth stands firmer than thy Word, Nor Stars so nobly shine.] 8 Thy Word is everlasting Truth; How pure is ev'ry Page! That holy Book shall guide our Youth, And well support our Age. Scripture: Psalm 119:9 Languages: English

Psalm 119 Part 5

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.268 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Book of nature and Scripture First Line: O how I love thy holy law! Lyrics: O how I love thy holy law! 'Tis daily my delight; And thence my meditations draw Divine advice by night. My waking eyes prevent the day To meditate thy word; My soul with longing melts away To hear thy gospel, Lord. How doth thy word my heart engage! How well employ my tongue! And in my tiresome pilgrimage, Yields me a heav'nly song. Am I a stranger or at home, 'Tis my perpetual feast; Not honey dropping from the comb So much allures the taste. No treasures so enrich the mind; Nor shall thy word be sold For loads of silver well refined, Nor heaps of choicest gold. When nature sinks, and spirits droop, Thy promises of grace Are pillars to support my hope, And there I write thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 119 Languages: English
