181. Give Thy Youth to God

1 Give, thou, thy youth to God,
With all its budding love;
Send up thy op'ning heart to him,
Fix it on things above.

2 He seeks thy heart, my child;
He wants to make thee blest;
Thy soul with his own joy to fill,
To give thee peace and rest.

3 Take, thou, the side of God,
In all things great or small,
So shall he ever take thy side,
And bear thee safe thro' all.
