william byrd - how shall a young man prone to ill lyrics
how shall a young man pr+ne to ill
clense his unbridled heart?
if that thy law, o lord hee doe
all frailtie set apart
embrace with setled minde, and learne
thy word with care to keepe:
and seek to find with humble sprite
thy judgements that are deepe
with my whole heart i have thee sought
and searched out thy way:
o suffer not that from thy word
i swarve or goe astray
thy woord o lord, within my heart
least i should thee offend:
i have laid up as treasure great
for that shall mee defend
the lord is blest, hee shall me tеach
the judgements of his mouth
thеreby to rule and dresse the waies
of my untamed youth
thy laws therefore in open place
my lippes shall ever sound:
and never faile to shew forth that
to which thou hast mee bound
for in the way of thy precepts
i set my whole delight:
no wealth, no treasure of the world
so precious in my sight
what thou command’st i will think on
with diligent respect:
and to thy lawes have due regard
for they shall mee protect
in thy precepts o lord, my soule
her whole delight hath set:
thy words therefore more pure than gold
i never will forget
