Hymnal: Living Hymns #398 (1890) Hymnal Title: Living Hymns First Line: How happy is the youth who hears Lyrics: 1 How happy is the youth who hears
Instruction's warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice.
2 For she has treasure greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In pleasure's path to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA
