LyicsWhile in the slippery paths of youth,
I run secure and free!
O let thy blessed word of truth,
My guide and counsel be.
If near the tempter's wily snare
In heedlessness I tread;
O be thy kind, protecting care,
To save me overspread.
Thus o'er my life let mercy move,
And guide my feet the way
That leads me to thy throne above-
To everlasting day.
