658. Remember Thy Creator

1 Remember thy Creator now,
In these thy youthful days;
He will accept thine early vow,
And listen to thy praise.

Chorus:
O Thou mighty God, we will remember Thee;
And we will delight in Thy service now,
In these our youthful days;
Yes, we will remember Thy mercies, too,
And enter Thy courts with praise.

2 Remember thy Creator now,
And seek Him while He's near;
For evil days will come, when thou
Shalt find no comfort near. [Chorus]

3 Remember thy Creator now,
His willing servant be;
Then, when thy head in death shall bow,
He will remember thee. [Chorus]

4 Almighty God, our hearts incline
Thy heav'nly voice to hear;
Let all our future days be Thine,
Devoted to Thy fear. [Chorus]
