Oh, won’t you come to Jesus
While you’re young?
Don’t think it will be better
To delay it until later,
But remember your Creator
While you’re young.
Remember, death may find you
While you’re young;
For friends are often weeping,
And the stars their watch are keeping
O’er the grassy graves where sleeping
Lie the young.
Oh, walk the path to glory
While you’re young;
And Jesus will befriend you,
And from danger will defend you,
And peace divine will send you
While you’re young.
Then won’t you come to Jesus
While you’re young?
Why from the future borrow,
When ere comes another morrow
You may weep in endless sorrow,
While you’re young?
