Rejoice, O Youth
Rejoice, O pleasant youth
In granduers of today
Have now what thou desirest
And walk in thine own way.
Seek what thy passion craveth
Thy dreams go all fulfill
Fly where your spirit longeth
Love all that's in thy will.
Throw off the aged counsel
Thy rulers disregard
Have now no bounderies given
Thy pleasures to retard.
And as you go this way
Enjoying sin a season
The way may seem real nice
And cautions without reason.
But know thou this for sure
Your life has been recorded
God keeps his records well
His judgements won't be thwarted.
He loves those who love Him
And blesses whom He will
But those who truth forsake
Are under His wrath still.
H. J. Bullen 4/17/10
