Give Ear, Ye Children, to My Law

Author: Rev. J. Belknap Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Give ear, ye children, to my law, Devout attention lend; Let the instructions of My mouth Deep in your hearts descend. 2. My tongue, by inspiration taught, Shall parables unfold: Dark oracles, but understood, And owned for truths of old; 3. Which we from sacred registers Of ancient times have known, And our forefathers' pious care To us has handed down. 4. Let children learn the mighty deeds Which God performed of old; Which in our younger years we saw, And which our fathers told. 5. Our lips shall tell them to our sons, And they again to theirs; That generations yet unborn May teach them to their heirs. Topics: Home and Youth Children Scripture: Psalm 78 Used With Tune: ST.

Jesus, priceless treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest friend to me: Ah, how long I've panted And my heart hath fainted, Thirsting, Lord, for Thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Naught I ask beside Thee. 2. In Thine arms I rest me, Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here; Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; Fires may flash and thunder crash, Yea, and sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3. Hence with early treasure! Thou art all my pleasure, Jesus, all my choice; Hence, thou empty glory! Naught to me thy story, Told with tempting voice; Pain or loss, or shame, or cross, Shall not from my Savior move me, Since He deigns to love me. 4. Fare thee well that errest, Thou that earth preferrest, Thou wilt tempt in vain; Fare thee well, transgressions, Hence, abhorred possession, Come not forth again. Past your hour, O pride and pow'r, Worldly life, thy bonds I sever, Fare thee well forever! 5. Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Tho' the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou art still my purest pleasure Jesus, priceless treausre.
