1 Lovely youth, with ardent zeal,
Wisdom’s flowery path pursue;
There shall you sweet pleasures feel,
Ever springing, ever new:
Sacred peace and joy combined,
Hopes and comforts all refined.
2 Earth with all its boasted store,
Cannot such delights impart,
All its joys are mean and poor,
Giving anguish to the heart:
From its vanities retire,
Seek the Lord with strong desire.
3 Give to Him your early bloom,
Make His counsels your delight,
Let His temple be your home,
Love and serve Him day and night:
Then shall you His blessings prove,
Feel the transports of His love.
