I’ll Serve the Lord While I am Young
1. I’ll serve the Lord while I am young,And in my early days,Devote the music of my tongueTo my Redeemer’s praise.I’ll praise his name, that he has giv’nMe parentage and birthAmong the most beloved of heav’nThat dwell upon the earth.
2. O Lord, my parents here preserve,To teach me righteousness,That my young feet may never swerveFrom paths of holiness.And, like the faithful ones of oldWho now behold thy face,May I be formed in virtues mouldTo fill a holy place.
3. While youth and beauty sweetly twine,Their garlands round my head,I’ll seek at wisdom’s sacred shrine,The gems that never fade.Long may I sing thy praises hereAmong thy saints below,And in eternity appearWith them in glory too.
