Advice From An Elder To The Young Generation

Commence the day with God, and speak to Him in prayer.
Ask for His blessing on thy way, and He thy life will share.
Open His wondrous word, and read it every day;
For priceless wisdom is therein, a light for all thy way.
With God go through the day, for He is at thy side;
At home, abroad, in solitude, or on the ocean tide.
When daily work is o’er and sunset gilds the sky,
Think on the marvels of His power and praise the Lord most High.
Conclude the day with thanks to Him who will thee keep
From harm and danger in the night whilst thou shalt sweetly sleep.
