How shall the young secure their hearts

Author: Watts Appears in 472 hymnals 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 '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. 3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey; The earth maintains her place; And these Thy servants, night and day, Thy skill and power express. 4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord, Have lessons more divine; Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word, Nor stars so nobly shine. 5 Thy Word is everlasting truth: How pure is every page! That holy Book shall guide our youth, And well support our age. Topics: The Means of Grace The Word of God; Sexagesima Sunday Scripture: Psalm 119 Used With Tune: TIVERTON

Let us here Thy glory see, And in tender pity make it Now Thy child, and leave it never, Thine on earth and Thine for ever. 4 Make it, Lord, Thy member now; Shepherd, take Thy lamb, and feed it; Prince of peace, its peace be Thou; Way of life, to heaven lead it; Vine, this branch may nothing sever, Be it graft in Thee for ever. 5 Now upon Thy heart it lies, What our hearts so dearly treasure: Heavenward lead our burdened sighs, Pour Thy blessing without measure; Write the name we now have given, Write it in the book of heaven.

Meet me now with Thy salvation, In Thy Church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy Confirmation In Thy truth and fear to-day: 3 So that might and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining In the catholic belief, Resting in the Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy Church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length.

According to Thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 549 hymnals Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget, Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the Cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice! I must remember Thee. 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, And all Thy Love to me; Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.
