Delightful work! young souls to win
Author: Joseph Straphan Appears in 32 hymnals Matching Instances: 32 Lyrics: 1 Delightful work! young souls to win,
And turn the rising race
From the deceitful paths of sin,
To seek redeeming grace.
2 Children our kind protection claim,
And God will well approve
When infants learn to lisp his name,
And their Redeemer love.
3 Be ours the bliss, in wisdom's way
To guide untutored youth,
And show the mind which went astray
The Way, the Life, the Truth.

To aid this blest design;
The honors of thy name be spread,
And all the glory thine. Topics: The Christian Godly Life Used With Tune: SILOAM

Joseph Straphan
b. 1757 Author of "Delightful work! young souls to win" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Straphan, Joseph. This author contributed 3 hymns to Rippon's Baptist Selection, 1787 (see p. 149, i.), viz.:—(1) "Blest is the man whose heart expands" (Education of the Young, (2) "On wings of faith mount up, my soul, and rise" (Heaven anticipated); and (3) "Our Father, Whose eternal sway" (Divine Worship). From No. 1 two centos have been taken:—(1) "Blest work the youthful mind to win," in several collections in Great Britain; and (2), "Delightful work, young souls to win," in use in America. Straphan's birth is given as 1757. From a hymn in the Gospel Magazine, we find that he resided at that time at Hanley. Further details are wanting. [Rev. W. R. Stephenson]
