Lo the young Tribes of Adam rise

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XC (1766) Lyrics: 1 Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise, And through all Nature rove, Fulfil the Wishes of their Eyes, And taste the Joys they love. 2 They give a Loose to wild Desires; But let the Sinners know The strict Account that God requires Of all the Works they do. 3 The Judge prepares his Throne on high, The frighted Earth and Seas Avoid the fury of his Eye, And flee before his Face. 4 How shall I bear that dreadful Day, And stand the fiery Test? I give all mortal Joys away, To be for ever blest. Topics: Delay of Conversion; Judgement Day; Vanity and Mortality of Youth; Youth and Judgment Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Languages: English
