First Line: Ye sons of Adam, vain and young Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of Adam, vain and young,
Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue;
Taste the delights your souls desire,
And give a loose to all your fire.
2 Pursue the pleasures you design,
And cheer your hearts with songs and wine;
Enjoy the day of mirth — but know
There is a day of judegment too!
3 God, from on high, records your thoughts,
His book records your secret faults;
The works of darkness you have done,
Must rise unveil'd before his throne.
4 The vengeance, to your follies due,
Should strike your hearts with terror through;
How will ye stand before his face,
Or answer for his injur'd grace?
5 Almighty God, turn off their eyes
From works of vanity and lies;
And let the thunder of thy word
Awake their souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11 Languages: English
