Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXV (1789) Lyrics: 1 In the soft season of thy youth,
In nature's smiling bloom,
Ere age arrives, and, trembling, wait
Its summons to the tomb;
2 Remember thy Creator, God;
For him thy powers employ;
Make Him thy fear, thy love, thy hope,
Thy confidence, thy joy.
3 He shall defend and guide thy course
Thro' life's uncertain sea,
Till thou art landed on the shore
Of blest eternity.
4 Then seek the Lord betimes, and choose
The path of heav'nly truth;
The earth affords no lovelier sight
Than a religious youth. Topics: Faith, Holiness and moral Virtues Remember thy Creator in the days of thy Youth Languages: English
