Old Swiss melody, harmonized by M. L. Laughlin

In days of youth seek ye the Lord,
His love and truth with one accord,
Go offer Him thy youthful days
And walk within the Saviour's ways.
Go offer Him thy youthful days
And walk within the Saviour's ways.

The flowers of spring time bright and fair
Disperse their fragrance sweet and rare,
So consecrate the bloom of youth,
And seek His friendship, grace and truth.
So consecrate the bloom of youth,
And seek His friendship, grace and truth.

Thy strength and vigor hopeful view,
Thy zeal and talents virtue true,
Go offer them in Christ's employ
His blessed nearness to enjoy.
Go offer them in Christ's employ
His blessed nearness to enjoy.

You need not honor, riches, fame
This life abundant to attain,
Oh heed the Master's loving call
Give Him thy body, soul and all.
Oh heed the Master's loving call
Give Him thy body, soul and all.

In youthful days His blessing seek,
With heart that's tender true and meek,
And while the years draw on apace,
You'll praise Him for His love and grace.
And while the years draw on apace,
You'll praise Him for His love and grace.
