Lyics

MY SON, know thou the Lord;

Thy Father's God obey;

Seek his protecting care by night,

His guardian care by day.



Call, while he may be found;

O seek him while he's near!

Serve him with all thy heart and mind,

And worship him with fear.



If thou wilt seek his face,

His ear will hear thy cry,

Then shalt thou find his mercy sure,

His grace for ever nigh.



But if thou leave thy God,

Nor choose the path to heav'n,

Then shalt thou perish in thy sins,

And never be forgiv'n.
