How Shall the Young

How shall the young
Secure their hearts,
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy Word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean,
To keep the conscience clean.

Verse 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,
A lamp to lead our way.

Verse 3:
Thy Word is everlasting truth;
How pure is ev'ry page!
That holy book
Shall guide our youth,
And well support our age,
And well support our age.
