Hymn 669 – HOW sweet be it from infancy | C&S English Hymnary

1. HOW sweet be it from infancy The path of wisdom all to tread May of honesty, truth we be May we be trusted all of men. 2. Liars, nay not we all to trust E‘en though repenteth, truth to speak When fallible man, evil wrath Lying, a pair and chains it be. 3. How abominable art lies Revealeth in the word of God Un-timely, Ananiah’s death Death payeth he; the cost of lies. 4. Saphirah; spouse and confidant Witnesseth for Ananiah Slumpeth and fallen down to death Lying couples the price they paid. 5. The ‘honest’ is the Lords delight The ‘honest‘ the Lord shall repay The liars shall all be condemned And be consum‘d and rot in hell. 6. All the falsehood uttereth forth Recordeth of God in the ’ Book' In bridle my loose tongue shall be Nay shall I be destroyed in hell AMEN
