Lyics

MY son, know thou the Lord,

Thy fathers' God obey;

Seek his protecting care by night,

His guardian hand by day.



Call, while he may be found,

Oh 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 forever nigh.



But if thou leave thy God,

Nor choose the path to heaven;

Then shalt thou perish in thy sins,

And never be forgiven.
