Importance of the Bible to the Young. |
744. C. M. Watts. Importance of the Bible to the Young. 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 Thy precepts make us truly wise; We hate the sinner's road: We hate our own vain thoughts that rise, But love thy law, O God! 4 Thy word is everlasting truth: How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide our youth, And well support our age.
