Yesterday in church, we sang a hymn that is pretty new to me, and I just love the lyrics (and the tune). I thought it was the perfect prayer to start up another week of homeschooling. {Oh, Lord, if they learn nothing else this week, let them grow in their understanding of Your Word.}
How Shall the Young Direct Their Way?
How shall the young direct their way?
What light shall be their perfect guide?
Your Word, O Lord, will safely lead,
If in its wisdom they confide.
Sincerely I have sought you, Lord,
O let me not from you depart;
To know your will and keep from sin
Your Word I cherish in my heart.
O blessed Lord, teach me your law,
Your righteous judgments I declare;
Your testimonies make me glad,
For they are wealth beyond compare.
Upon your precepts and your ways
My heart will meditate with awe;
Your Word shall be my chief delight,
And I will not forget your law.
The Psalter, 1912
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWe use the Trinity Hymnal, too.
ReplyDeleteOne of the hymns we sang this morning, was "As the Hart about to Falter." I love that one.
I love this verse - so true. Thank you for the reminder.
