"Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth." N the soft season of thy youth, IN In nature's smiling bloom, Ere we arrive and trembling wait 2 Remember thy Creator God; For him thy powers employ ; 3 He shall defend and guide thy cause Till thou art landed on the shore 4 Then seek the Lord be times, and choose The path of heavenly truth; The earth affords no lovelier sight Than a religious youth.

ET all the powers of music join, LE In one exalted chorus raise Loud anthems to the theme divine, And fill all heaven and earth with praise. 2 To us is born a Son, to reign High on a throne of grace divine, And universal empire gain, Through ev'ry land and ev'ry clime. 5 In council wonderful and wise, All human wisdom shall confound, 6 An everlasting Father kind, The world shall own his matchless grace, 7 A mighty God, the prince of peace, 8 Let all the powers below, above, HYMN 55. C. M. Universal Depravity. Ps. xiv. H. BALLOU.

C. M. The blessings of nature and grace, LET heathens to their idols haste, And worship' wood or stone ; But my delightful lot is cast Where the true God is known.
