Psalm: How in the slippery paths of youth
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
How in the slippery paths of youth.
Shall I preserve my conscience clean?
By listening to the voice of Truth,
The Truth, who makes us free from sin:
Speak to my heart Thy cleansing word,
Ruled by Thy word I then shall be.
Follow the Spirit of my Lord,
And give my prime of life to Thee.
