Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15783 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Amidst the cheerful bloom of youth,
With ardent zeal pursue
The ways of piety and truth,
With death and Heaven in view.
2 Fair wisdom’s paths with sweets are strewed,
And pleasures all refined;
There joys divine are shed abroad,
That suit th’immortal mind.
3 Youth is the most accepted time,
To love and serve the Lord;
A flower presented in its prime,
Will much delight afford.
4 He’ll crown with peace your rising years,
And make your fruit increase;
Will guide you through this vale of tears,
And bid your sorrows cease.
5 Give Him the morning of your days,
And be for ever blessed;
’Tis none but those in wisdom’s ways
Enjoy substantial rest. Languages: English Tune Title: PIACENZA
