How shall the young preserve their ways

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.CXIX.Beth (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 9 How shall the young preserve their ways From all pollution free? By making still their course of life With thy commands agree. 10 With hearty zeal for thee I seek To thee for succour pray; O suffer not my careless steps From thy right paths to stray. 11 Safe in my heart, and closely hid, Thy word, my treasure lies; To succour me with timely aid, When sinful thoughts arise. 12 Secur'd by that, my grateful soul Shall ever bless thy name; O teach me than by thy just laws My future life to frame. 13 My lips, unlock'd by pious zeal, To others have declar'd How well the judgments of thy mouth Deserve our best regard. 14 Whilst in the way of thy commands More solid joy I found, Than had I been with vast increase Of envy'd riches crown'd. 15 Therefore thy just and upright laws Shall always fill my mind; And those sound rules, which thou prescirb'st All due respect shall find. 16 To keep thy statutes undefac'd Shall be my constant joy; The strict remembrance of thy word Shall all my thoughts employ.
