Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 478 hymnals 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 '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.
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word Used With Tune: HVAD HÖR JAG?
