Contentment

Author: A. D. Fillmore Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #122 (1867) First Line: When the morn of life is beaming Refrain First Line: O contentment, precious jewel Lyrics: 1 When the morn of life is beaming, When the birds of spring-time sing, When the youthful heart is dreaming, Of the joys that age will bring. 'Mid the sparkling dewdrops gleaming, Then be happy, be content. Chorus: O contentment, precious jewel, Ever be our dear delight, Save us from vexations cruel, Ev'ry morning, noon and night. 2 When the noon of life approaches, With its toils and anxious care, Ere enfeebling age approaches, For its darker days prepare; Put away all vain reproaches, Then be happy, be content. [Chorus] 3 When the shades of evening gather, And the stars begin to shine, Call upon the heavenly Father, Seek his grace for thee and thine; When in calm or stormy weather, Then be happy, be content. [Chorus] 4 When the wintry winds are sighing, And life's twilight hour has come, Then, by faith, on Christ relying, Looking for a heavenly home, Where are pleasures never dying, Then be happy, be content.

O, in the Morn of Life, when Youth

Hymnal: Juvenile Choir #87 (1840) Lyrics: 1 O, in the morn of life, when youth With vital ardour glows, And shines in all the fairest charms, That beauty can disclose. 2 Deep in thy soul, before its pow'rs And yet by vice enslaved, Be thy Creator's glorious name And character engraved: 3 Ere yet the shades of sorrow cloud The sunshine of thy days; And cares and toils, in endless round, Encompassed all the ways: 4 Ere yet thy heart the woes of age, With vain regret deplore, And sadly must on former joys, That now return no more. 5 True wisdom, early sought and gain'd In age will give thee rest: O then, improve the morn of life, To make its ev'ning blest!

Eccles. 12:1: In life's gay morn, when sprightly youth

Hymnal: Scottish Psalter and Paraphrases #R16 (1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In life's gay morn, when sprightly youth Lyrics: In life’s gay morn, when sprightly youth with vital ardour glows, And shines in all the fairest charms which beauty can disclose; Deep on thy soul, before its pow’rs are yet by vice enslaved, Be thy Creator’s glorious name and character engraved. For soon the shades of grief shall cloud the sunshine of thy days; And cares, and toils, in endless round, encompass all thy ways. Soon shall thy heart the woes of age in mournful groans deplore, And sadly muse on former joys, that now return no more. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:1 Languages: English
