544 Youthful Blessings

Words: Morgan D. Jones, 1954

Music: Mary Kitchens Gardner, 1954

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

Copyright: 1954 Christian Harmony Music Company

May God His richest blessings give
To you, my dear young friend,
And make you useful while you live,
And save you at the end.

Your youthful days will soon be gone,
For time is flying by;
Our days and years pass swiftly on,
We’ll soon be called to die.
