1 Remember thy Creator now
In the days of thy youth;
Remember in life’s early dawn,
Before the evil days come on,
Thy tender heart may now be won,
In the days of thy youth.
2 Remember thy Creator now
While affections are pure;
In tender accents hear Him say,
My son, give Me thy heart today,
And never from My precepts stray,
Ever faithful endure.
3 Remember thy Creator now;
Why yet longer delay?
Why wait until in later years,
Amid regret and bitter tears,
Thy heart be bound by doubts and fears?
Why yet longer delay?
4 Remember thy Creator now;
Love the Lord evermore;
The saints and angels waiting stand,
With crown and golden harp in hand,
To greet thee to the better land,
To the bright evermore.
