Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #139 (1934) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: From days of early youth, O God Lyrics: 1 From days of early youth, O God,
By Thee have I been taught,
And faithfully have I declared
The wonders Thou hast wrought.
2 O gracious God, forsake me not
When I am old and gray,
That unto those that follow me
I may Thy might display.
3 Thy perfect righteousness, O God,
The height of heaven exceeds;
O who is like to Thee, who hast
Performed such mighty deeds?
4 Thou who hast sent me many griefs
Wilt yet my soul restore,
And out of sorrow’s lowest depths
Wilt bring me forth once more.
5 O turn again and comfort me,
My waning strength increase,
And for Thy faithfulness, O God,
My praise shall never cease.
6 Thou Holy One of Israel,
To Thee sweet songs I raise;
The soul Thou hast redeemed from death
Shall give Thee joyful praise.
7 My enemies that seek my hurt
Thy help has put to shame;
My thankful tongue will ceaselessly
Thy righteousness proclaim. Topics: Children; Deliverance From Trouble; Old Age; Omnipotence of God; Praise for God's Perfections; Praise for God's Works; Youth Scripture: Psalm 71 Languages: English Tune Title: AVON (MARTYRDOM)
