69. How Shall the Young Direct Their Way?

1 How shall the young direct their way?
What light shall be their perfect guide?
Thy Word, O Lord, will safely lead,
If in its wisdom they confide.

2 Sincerely I have sought Thee, Lord,
Oh, let me not from Thee depart;
To know Thy will and keep from sin
Thy Word I cherish in my heart.

3 O blessed Lord, teach me Thy law,
Thy righteous judgments I declare;
Thy testimonies make me glad,
For they are wealth beyond compare.

4 Upon Thy precepts and Thy ways
My heart will meditate with awe;
Thy word shall be my chief delight,
And I will not forget Thy law.
