119. Let us Give our Youth to Jesus

1 Let us give our youth to Jesus,
Bring the brightest, sweetest hours,
Ere the sunbeams lose their sparkle,
Ere the dew has left the flow'rs.

Chorus:
While the skies o'erflow
With the morning glow,
Let us come to Jesus now.
While our hearts are gay,
In life's blooming May,
Let us come to Jesus now.
Let us come, let us come,
Let us come to Jesus now!
Let us come, let us come,
Let us come to Jesus now!

2 Let us serve our King with gladness,
And his wondrous love proclaim,
He will bless the lips' "endeavor,"
Bless the deed wrought "in his name." [Chorus]

3 Let us bring our aspirations,
All that we would be and do,
To the One whose grace can make us
Noble hearted, pure and true. [Chorus]

4 Let us give our youth to Jesus,
Ere the shadows gather dim,
Happy is the life, and blessed,
Wholly yielded unto him. [Chorus]
