Author: Edith Sanford Tillotson Hymnal: The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) #520 (2001) First Line: Serve the Lord in the days of youth Refrain First Line: Serve the Lord in youthful days Lyrics: 1 Serve the Lord in the days of youth,
Learn His law and accept His truth;
Sing His praise with a ready tongue,
While the heart is young,
While yet the heart is young.
Refrain:
Serve the Lord in youthful days,
Do His will and walk His ways,
Wait not for what the years may bring,
But serve Him, O serve Him;
While life is like the spring,
O serve our Lord and King.
2 Give to Him what He gave to you,
Buoyant strength and a courage true;
Ringing voices and eyes alight,
Souls all pure and white,
Unstained and pure and white. [Refrain]
3 Serve Him then, ev’ry youthful day,
Choose His guidance without delay;
Waste no part of these precious years,
Youth soon disappears,
Too soon it disappears. [Refrain] Topics: Comfort; Guidance; Service; Youth Languages: English Tune Title: [Serve the Lord in the days of youth]
