Texts

Young people all, attention give

Young people all, attention give,
While I address you in God's name;
You who in sin and folly live,
Come hear the counsel of a friend.
I've sought for bliss in glittering toys,
And ranged the luring scenes of vice;
But never knew substantial joys,
Until I heard my Savior's voice.

Poor and afflicted, Lord, are thine

The little babe is gone to rest
