Youth is beautiful, joyful, sweet,
Young men and young women!
But youth will soon pass away,
And health will eventually decline.
So while you are young,
Draw near to your Creator
And place your life at His feet.

1.
The days of youth are beautiful,
And good health is a gift from God.
Do not waste this precious season of life.
Live as a child of God
And use your youth for Him.

2.
Will you spend your youthful days
Simply doing whatever you please?
One day you must stand
Before God and give an account.
So live your life
As a child of God.

3.
Everything you see today
Is temporary and will pass away.
This world is like a furnace
That will eventually be consumed.
The end of worldly prosperity
Is sorrow,
But for God's children
There is lasting joy.

Youth will pass quickly,
but a life lived for God
has eternal value.
