Bestow, Dear Lord, Upon Our Youth

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11917 Lyrics: 1 Bestow, dear Lord, upon our youth The gift of saving grace; And let the seed of sacred truth Fall in a fruitful place. Grace is a plant, where’er it grows Of pure and heav’nly root; But fairest in the youngest shows, And yields the sweetest fruit. 2 Ye careless ones, O hear betimes, The voice of sovereign love! Your youth is stained with many crimes, But mercy reigns above. True, you are young, but there’s a stone Within the youngest breast, Or half the crimes which you have done Would rob you of your rest. 3 For you the public prayer is made, Oh! join the public prayer! For you the secret tear is shed, O shed yourselves a tear! We pray that you may early prove The Spirit’s power to teach; You cannot be too young to love That Jesus, whom we preach.
