O, in the morn of life, when youth
With vital ardor glows,
|: And shines in all the fairest charms
That beauty can disclose. :|
Deep in thy soul before its powers
Are yet by vice enslaved,
|: Be thy Creator’s glorious Name
And character engraved. :|
Ere yet the shades of sorrow cloud
The sunshine of thy days;
|: And cares and toils in endless round
Encompass all thy ways :|
Ere yet the heart the woes of age,
With vain regret deplore,
|: And sadly muse on former joys
That now return no more :|
True wisdom, early sought and gained.
In age will give thee rest:
|: O then, improve the morn of life,
To make its evening blest! :|
