Prayer For A Blessing On The Young.
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, whereer it grows, Of pure and heavenly root; But fairest in the youngest shows, And yields the sweetest fruit. Ye careless ones, O hear betimes The voice of sovereign love! Your youth is staind with many crimes, But mercy reigns above. True, you are young, but theres a stone Within the youngest breast; Or half the crimes which you have done Would rob you of your rest. For you the public prayer is made, Oh! join the public prayer! For you the secret tear is shed, Oh! shed yourselves a tear! We pray that you may early prove The Spirits power to teach; You cannot be too young to love That Jesus whom we preach.
