SONG NO. 226
THE FAITHFUL KING JOSIAH
2-KINGS- 22 : 1-20 ; 23 : 1-25
Eight years old was Josiah when he began to reign
He set about restoring true worship again
Adaiah brought up Josiah in Jehovah’s way
That Josiah obey Jehovah, Adaiah would sincerely pray
When Josiah discovered people were not living according to Jehovah’s law
He counselled the Israelites about the ungodliness he saw
Josiah advised the people for Jehovah’s covenant to take their stand
So they could remain living on Jehovah’s holy land
Josiah destroyed Ball and other false idols and were ground to dust
In order that worship of Jehovah must take place first
From Jehovah’s true worship people must not turn
Then they are able to God Jehovah’s approval earn
Josiah destroyed false worship and taught a whole race
That with Jehovah Only God false idols have no place
From Jehovah’s holy land the disgusting things Josiah cleared out
He turned to Jehovah with whole his heart no doubt
For Jehovah, Josiah arranged a Passover greater
Because he knew Jehovah is their great Creator
We today can learn from Josiah’s fine example
That with whole our hearts we should love Jehovah and His temple
