In Youth
“Teach me to do Thy will; for Thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness” (Psalm 143:10).
Lord, use my youthful vigor,
And energy today,
To please Thee, and to serve Thee,
In all I do and say!
Lord, use my youthful talents,
To glorify Thy name,
Instead of worldly boasting,
Or earth’s applause and fame.
Lord, consecrate me fully,
And take all that is mine;
I know what Thou hast given
Is not my own, but Thine!
Lord, use me in the best years,
Don’t let me waste them now;
Teach me to do Thy will, Lord.
In youth, my will to bow.
