THE BIBLE A GUIDE TO THE YOUNG.
Howshall the young secure their heartsAnd guard their lives from sin?Thy word the choicest rules impartsTo keep the conscience clean.When once it enters to the mind,It spreads such light abroad,The meanest souls instruction find,And raise their thoughts to God.’Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,That guides us all the day,And through the dangers of the nightA lamp to lead our way.Thy word is everlasting truth;How pure is ev’ry page!

And guard their lives from sin?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
