In the soft season of thy youth

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXV (1789) Topics: Faith, Holiness and moral Virtues Remember thy Creator in the days of thy Youth 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.

Ah fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold? 6 In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me; Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee.
