How Shall The Young Secure Their Hearts by Isaac Watts

How shall the young secure their hearts
And guard their lives from sin?
Your Word, O LORD, the truth imparts
To keep the conscience clean.

Your Word is like a heav'nly light
That guides us all the day,
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.

The starry heav'ns your rule obey,
The earth maintains its place;
And these your servants night and day
Your skill and pow'r express.

But still your law and gospel, LORD,
Have lessons more divine;
Not earth stands firmer than your Word
Nor stars so nobly shine.

Your Word is everlasting truth;
How pure is ev'ry page!
That holy book will guide our youth
And well support our age.
