[Young people all, attention give]
[1]
Young people all, attention give,And hear what I shall say;
I wish your souls with Christ to live,
In everlasting day.
Remember you are hast'ning on
To death's dark, gloomy shade;
Your joys on earth will soon be gone,
Your flesh in dust be laid.
2
Death's iron gate you must pass through,Ere long, my dear young friends;
With whom then do you think to go,
With saints or fiery fiends?
Pray meditate before too late,
While in a gospel land,
Behold King Jesus at the gate,
Most lovingly doth stand
3
Young men, how can you turn your faceFrom such a glorious friend;
Will you pursue your dang'rous ways?
O don't you fear the end?
Will you pursue that dang'rous road
Which leads to death and hell?
Will you refuse all peace with God,
With devils for to dwell?
4
Young women too, what will you do,If out of Christ you die?
From all God's people you must go,
To weep, lament, and cry:
Where you the least relief can't find,
To mitigate your pain;
Your good things all be left behind,
Your souls in death remain
5
Young people all, I pray then viewThe fountain open'd wide;
The spring of life open'd for sin,
Which flow'd from Jesus' side;
There you may drink in endless joy,
And reign with Christ your king,
In his glad notes your souls employ,
And hallelujahs sing.
