From Days of Early Youth, O God
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: From days of early youth, O God Lyrics: 1 From days of early youth, O God,
By Thee have I been taught,
And faithfully have I declared
The wonders Thou hast wrought.
2 O gracious God, forsake me not
When I am old and gray,
That unto those that follow me
I may Thy might display.
3 Thy perfect righteousness, O God,
The height of heaven exceeds;
O who is like to Thee, who hast
Performed such mighty deeds?
4 Thou who hast sent me many griefs
Wilt yet my soul restore,
And out of sorrow’s lowest depths
Wilt bring me forth once more.
5 O turn again and comfort me,
My waning strength increase,
And for Thy faithfulness, O God,
My praise shall never cease.
6 Thou Holy One of Israel,
To Thee sweet songs I raise;
The soul Thou hast redeemed from death
Shall give Thee joyful praise.
7 My enemies that seek my hurt
Thy help has put to shame;
My thankful tongue will ceaselessly
Thy righteousness proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 71 Used With Tune: AVON (MARTYRDOM)

Old Age approaching, or man frail and mortal
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: Eternal God, enthroned on high Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! enthron'd on high!
Whom angel-hosts adore;
Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh,
Thy presence I implore.
2 O guide me down the steep of age,
And keep my passions cool;
Teach me to scan the sacred page,
And practice every rule.
3 My flying years time urges on,
What's human must decay;
My friends, my young companions gone,
Can I expect to stay?
4 Can I exemption plead, when death
Projects his awful dart?
Can med'cines then prolong my breath,
Or virtue shield my heart?
5 Ah! no—then smooth the mortal hour,
On thee my hope depends;
Support me with almighty power,
While dust to dust descends.
6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God!
(While angels join the lay)
Admitted to the bless'd abode,
Its endless anthems pay.
7 Thro' heaven, howe'er remote the bound,
Thy matchless love proclaim,
And join the choir of saints that sound
Their great redeemer's name.
