A lovely youth falling short of heaven

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Youth The accepted time First Line: Must all the charms of nature then Lyrics: 1 Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? 2 The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new? 3 But mark the change: thus spake the Lord, "Come, part with earth for heav'n to-day," The youth, astonish'd at the word, In silent sadness went his way. 4 Poor virtues, that he boasted so, This test unable to endure, Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! 5 Ah foolish choice of treasures here! Ah fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold! 6 In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me; Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee. Scripture: Mark 10:21

Amen. Used With Tune: ROSEDALE

Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for thee, swift and beautiful for thee. 3 Take my voice, and let me sing; unto God my praise I bring. Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from thee, filled with messages from thee. 4 Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose, every power as thou shalt choose. 5 Take my will, and make it thine; it shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is thine own; it shall be thy royal throne, it shall be thy royal throne. 6 Take my love, my Lord, I pour at thy feet its treasure-store. Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee, ever, only, all for thee. Used With Tune: HENDON

Thy cheering words revive us, When pressed with grief we bow: Thou bearest the trusting spirit Upon thy loving breast, And givest all thy ransomed A sweet, unending rest.
