359. Those Who Are Young, O God | 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4. |

|

|
| 1 | Those who are young, O God, |
| Make them Thine own; |
| Hear from Thy blest abode, |
| Make them Thine own; |
| Now in their early days, |
| Turn them to Thy blest ways, |
| Save from the giddy maze, |
| Make them Thine own. |
|
| 2 | Those who are older too, |
| Make them Thine own; |
| Give them affections new, |
| Make them Thine own; |
| Now, in their manhood's prime, |
| Now, in salvation's time, |
| To Thee their hearts incline, |
| Make them Thine own. |
|
| 3 | Those who in years abound, |
| Make them Thine own; |
| Now may the lost be found, |
| Make them Thine own; |
| Soon must their journey end, |
| Fast to the grave they wend; |
| Father, their souls befriend, |
| Make them Thine own. |
|
| 4 | Then shall they happy be, |
| All made Thine own; |
| Shout then the victory, |
| All, all Thine own! |
| Satan shall lose his prey, |
| Mercy shall win the day; |
| Each shall with rapture say, |
| "All, all Thine own!" |
|
