| Surely after that I was turned, I repented and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. (Jer. 31:19) |
| Remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. (Eccl. 11:10) |
| When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (1 Cor. 13:11) |
Lord, give us grace, that we obey Thy light; Courage and faith, lest we should fail in sight; Oh knit our hearts to Thee, that we be found Steadfast in Thee, and in Thy statutes sound. |
