"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.... Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge, that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mayest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?" (Proverbs 22:6,20,21). "And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments.... Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth" (Revelation 16:7,15).
Lord, every word You have spoken is true,
And history is Your demonstration.
The judgments pronounced that historians view
Were tried and found true in each nation.
We know You are bringing this age to a close,
And that You will come as a thief.
It should not surprise us, for still there are those
Who continue in blind unbelief!
And so we are called to watch and to pray,
Equipped with the words of Your truth,
To answer all those who may ask us today,
As well as to train up our youth.
