Ye lovely bands of blooming youth,
Warn'd by the voice of heav'nly truth.
Now yield to Christ your youthful prime.
With all your talents and your time.
Think on your end—nor thoughtless say,
"I'll put far off the evil day;"
Ah! not a moment's in your pow'r,
And death stands ready at the door.
Eternity! — how near it rolls!
Count the vast value of your souls!
Beware! and count the awful cost.
What they have gained whose souls are lost.
Pride, sinful pleasures, lusts and snares,
Beset your hearts, your eyes, your ears—
Take the alarm—the danger fly!
Lord, save me be your earnest cry.
