How shall the young secure their hearts

Author: I. Watts Appears in 486 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.

Jesus, lover of my soul

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 3,307 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Savior! hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed: All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ! art all I want; More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind! Just and holy is Thy name;, I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within; Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart!
