"A good man... will guide his affairs with discretion.... his heart is fixed, trusting the LORD" (Psalm 112:5-7). "Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter.... My son, keep thy Father's commandment.... it shall lead thee... it shall keep thee... it shall talk with thee" (Proverbs 06:5-22). "And with many other words did he [Peter] testify, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation" (Acts 2:40).
This is not the time or place
To live our days with indiscretion.
These are evil days we face:
We ought to walk with circumspection.
God has given His command
To lead, to keep, and with us talk;
Thus He guides us with His hand
To show us how we ought to walk.
Save yourself as would a roe
Who sees the hunter and will run.
Trust the Lord, and He will show
The things to do and things to shun.
For though the Lord would surely guide
And set all hearts on things above,
The path that leads to hell is wide
For those who yet refuse His love.
Lord, guide us with Your staff and rod,
And talk with us upon our path,
And keep us in the love of God
That saved our grateful souls from wrath!
