Hymn/Song Information

Come children learn to fear the Lord




Come, children, learn
to fear the Lord
And that your days be long,
Let not a false or spiteful word
Be found upon your tongue.


Depart from mischief, practise love,
Pursue the works of peace;
So shall the Lord your ways approve,
And set your souls at ease.


His eyes awake to guard the just,
His ears attend their cry;
When broken spirits dwell in dust,
The God of grace is nigh.


What though the sorrows
here they taste
Are sharp and tedious too,
The Lord, who saves them all at last,
Is their supporter now.


Evil shall smite the wicked dead;
But God secures his own,
Prevents the mischief
when they slide,
Or heals the broken bone.


When desolation, like a flood,
O'er the proud sinner rolls,
Saints find a refuge in their God,
For he redeemed their souls.
