Psalm 119

Author: Isaac Watts 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 When once it enters to the mind, It spreads such light abroad; The meanest souls instruction find, And raise their thoughts to God. 3 '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. 4 Thy precepts make me truly wise; I hate the sinner's road; I hate my own vain thoughts that rise, But love thy law, my God! 5 Thy word is everlasting truth; How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide our youth, And well support our age. Topics: Bible; The Scriptures Scripture: Psalm 119:9 Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL

Give me the wings of faith to rise

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 517 hymnals Lyrics: Give me the wings of faith to rise Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys, How bright their glories be. 276 Once they were mourning here below, And wet their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears. I ask them whence their victory came; They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death. They marked the footsteps that he trod, His zeal inspired their breast; And, following their incarnate God, Possess the promised rest. Our glorious Leader claims our praise For his own pattern given, While the long cloud of witnesses Show the same path to heaven. Topics: Holy Days All Saints Used With Tune: SOUTHWELL
