Give thou thy youth to God,

by Horatius Bonar

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 270 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

Give thou thy youth to God, With all its budding love; Send up the opening heart to him, Fix it on things above.

Verse 2

He seeks thy heart, my child; He wants to make thee blest; Thy soul with his own joy to fill, To give thee peace and rest.

Verse 3

Take thou the side of God, In all things great or small; So shall he ever take thy side, And bear thee safe through all. Guide me in the path to heaven.
