Come Forth, O Christian Youth
Author: Mary E. Jackson Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #448 (1957) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Come forth, O Christian youth,
A task before us lies;
The world awaits the strength and zeal
Which youthful heart supplies.
We seek to win mankind
To choose Christ's nobler way,
And usher in true brotherhood
For every man today.
2 Stand firm, O Christian youth,
With trust in God alone,
That we may live our Christian faith
And make Christ truly known.
Be ours to show all men
The path His feet have trod,
To make all life a sacrament
And holy unto God.
3 Grow strong, O Christian youth,
Be loyal, brave, and true,
And strive with courage for the right
In what we say and do.
Thus may our words and deeds
Be worthy in God's sight,
And manifest to all mankind
His way of truth and light.
4 Give all, O Christian youth,
And nought from Christ withhold;
His Kingdom claims us for its own;
His Spirit keeps us bold!
As pilgrims in the world
Yet followers of the Way,
God make us faithful citizens
Till His eternal day.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Tune Title: MONTGOMERY
