Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/"Remember now thy Creator"

"Remember now thy Creator."

Remember thy Creator now,
 In these thy youthful days,
He will accept thy earliest vow,
 And listen to thy praise.

Remember thy Creator now,
 And seek Him while He's near,
For evil days will come, when thou
 Shalt find no comfort near,

Remember thy Creator now,
 His willing servant be;
Then when thy head in death shall bow,
 He will remember thee.

Almighty God! our hearts incline
 Thy heavenly voice to hear;
Let all our future days be Thine,
 Devoted to Thy fear.
