Shepherd of tender Youth

Author: Clement of Alexandria Hymnal: Concordia #208 (1918) Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of tender youth, Guiding in love and truth, Thro' devious ways; Christ our triumphant King, We come Thy name to sing, And here our children bring To shout Thy praise. 2 Thou art our holy Lord, O all-subduing Word, Healer of strife; Thou didst thyself abase, That from sin's deep disgrace Thou mightest save our race, And give us life. 3 Thou art the great High Priest; Thou hast prepared the feast Of holy love: And in our mortal pain, None call on thee in vain; Help Thou dost not disdain, Help from above. 4 Ever be near our side, Our Shepherd and our Guide, Our Staff and Song: Jesus, Thou Christ of God, By Thine enduring word, Lead us where Thou hast trod, Make our faith strong. 5 So now, until we die, Sound we Thy praises high, And joyful sing: Let all the holy throng Who to Thy Church belong, Unite and swell the song To Christ our King!

Forward! be our Watchword

Author: H. Alford Hymnal: Concordia #220 (1918) Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watch-word, Steps and voices join'd; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind. Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward thro' the desert, Thro' the toil and fight! Jordan flows before us; Zion beams with light. 2 Forward, when in childhood Buds the infant mind; All thro' youth and man-hood, Not a tho't behind. Speed thro' realms of nature, Climb the steps of grace; Faint not, till in glory Gleams our Father’s face. Forward, all the lifetime, Climb from height to height, Till the head be hoary, Till the eve be light. 3 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepar'd, By the souls that love Him One day to be shar'd. Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these have utter'd Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching east-ward, Where the heav'n is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHWORD

Savior, while my Heart is Tender

Author: J. Burton Hymnal: Concordia #219 (1918) Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth Lyrics: 1 Savior, while my heart is tender, I would yield that heart to Thee; All my pow'rs to Thee surrender, Thine and only Thine to be. Take me now, Lord Jesus, take me, Let my youthful heart be Thine, Thy devoted servant make me, Fill my soul with love divine. 2 Send me, Lord, where Thou wilt send me, Only do Thou guide my way, May Thy grace thro' life attend me, Gladly then shall I obey. Let me do Thy will, or bear it, I would know no will but Thine, Shouldst Thou take my life, or spare it, I that life to Thee resign. 3 May this solemn consecration Never once forgotten be; Let it know no revocation, Registered, confirmed by Thee. Thine I am, O Lord, forever To Thy service set apart; Suffer me to leave Thee never, Seal Thine image on my heart. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECROFT

I ought to Love my Savior

Hymnal: Concordia #227 (1918) Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth Lyrics: 1 I ought to love my Savior; No earthly friend can be So loving, kind, and faithful As He hath been to me. Before my lips could utter His sweet and precious name, Until the present moment, His love hath been the same. 2 He left His home in glory To save my soul from death; And now in all life's dangers He still sustains my breath. I lay me down and slumber All through the hours of night, And wake again in safety To hail the morning light. 3 It is but very little For Him that I can do; Then let me seek to serve Him My earthly journey through; And without sigh or murmur, To do His holy will, And in my daily duties, His wise commands fulfill. 4 And when I reach the mansion He has prepared for me, 'Twill be my grateful pleasure My Savior's face to see; And 'mid the angels' music, Which then will greet my ear, How eagerly I'll listen My Savior's voice to hear.
