Text:Youth and judgment

I.XC. Youth and judgment

1 Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise,
And thro' all nature rove
Fulfil the wishes of their eyes,
And taste the joys they love.

2 They give a loose to wild desires;
But let the sinners know,
The strict account that God requires
Of all the works they do.

3 The judge prepares his throne on high,
The frighted earth and seas
Avoid the fury of his eye,
And flee before his face.

4 How shall I bear that dreadful day,
And stand the fi'ry test?
I give all mortal joys away,
To be for ever blest.
