Guard, My Child, Thy Tongue
Author: Unknown Hymnal: The Children's Hymnbook #155 (1962) Lyrics: 1 Guard, my child, thy tongue
That it speak no wrong;
Let no evil word pass o'er it;
Set the watch of truth before it
That it speak no wrong.
Guard, my child, thy tongue.
2 Guard, my child, thine eyes;
Prying is not wise.
Let them look on what is right,
From all evil turn their sight;
Prying is not wise.
Guard, my child, thine eyes.
3 Guard, my child, thine ear;
Wicked words will sear.
Let no evil words come in
That may cause the soul to sin;
Wicked words will sear.
Guard, my child, thine ear.
4 Ear and eye and tongue
Guard while thou art young.
For, alas! these busy three
Can unruly members be;
Guard while thou art young
Ears and eyes and tongue. Topics: Living For Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HUBERT

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Guard, My Child, Thy Tongue" in The Children's Hymnbook In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

H. R. Palmer
1834 - 1907 Composer of "[Guard, my child, thy tongue]" in Junior Praises Palmer, Horatio Richmond, MUS. DOC, was born April 26, 1834. He is the author of several works on the theory of music; and the editor of some musical editions of hymnbooks. To the latter he contributed numerous tunes, some of which have attained to great popularity, and 5 of which are in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs and Solos, London, 1881.
His publications include Songs of Love for the Bible School; and Book of Anthems, the combined sale of which has exceeded one million copies. As a hymnwriter he is known by his "Yield not to temptation," which was written in 1868, and published in the National Sunday School Teachers' Magazine, from which it passed, with music by the author, into his Songs of Love, &c, 1874, and other collections. In America its use is extensive. Dr. Palmer's degree was conferred by the University of Chicago in 1880.

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: W. J. K. Composer of "[Guard, my child, thy tongue]" in Infant Praises William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
