While You're Young.

31

1. Oh wont you be a Christian While you're young? Oh wont you be a Christian While you 're young? Don't

think it will be bet-ter To de- lay it un-til later, But re-member your Creator While you're young.

2. Oh wont you love the Saviour

While you're young? ||:

For you he left his glory
And embraced a cross so gory;
Wont you heed the melting story
While you're young?

2. 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.

4. : Oh walk the path to glory
While you're young; ||:
And Jesus will befriend you,
And from danger will defend you,
And a peace divine will send you
While you're young.

5. Then wont you be a Christian
While you're young? ||:
Why from the future borrow,
When, ere comes another morrow,
You may weep in endless sorrow
While you're young?

This World's a Wilderness.

A. A. G.

1. This world's a wilderness, and dangers cluster round; There's not a traveller but treads enchanted ground:
2. But walk in wisdom's ways, and you shall happy be:
Jesus a ref-uge is, for ev-er safe and free.

Oftentimes the scenes of woe the flowing tears invite, And joys depart, and sunny hours go out in gloomy night. Let the storms of sorrow come, he'll bid the tempest cease, For wisdom's ways are pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.

3. There are pleasures never fading In the pathway of the wise; And the weary pilgrim aiding,

Jesus every want supplies: He is ever near and precious,

Heals the wounded, cheers the faint; Taste and see how good and gracious Jesus is to every saint.

4. Then in childhood's sunny morning
Ere the heart is cold and hard,
From the downward pathway turning,
Mercy's tender call regard:
Ere the love of sin grows stronger,
Ere the sober thoughts depart,
Ere the Spirit strives no longer,
Youthful sinner, yield thy heart.

doomed to droop and

die; Then where shall hap-pi - ness be found, And who the want sup- ply?

2. How can I be a holy child,

And where shall conquering grace be
found,

And shun the downward road, Where Satan reigns and sin has spoiled The noblest work of God? How shall I tread enchanted ground, 3. And keep my garments white;

And armor for the fight?-CHO.

How can I be a useful child,
And feel for others' woes,

And make the desert drear and wild
To blossom as the rose?

I'll pray and toil and do my part,
And ne'er to slumber yield;
But where's the strength to keep my
From fainting on the field? [heart

(For every verse.)

thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come; Just as I ani, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me.

2. Just as I am-and waiting not

To rid my soul of one dark blot,

To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

3. Just as I am-though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
4. Just as I am-poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
