LyicsREMEMBER thy Creator,
While youth's fair spring is bright;
Before thy cares are greater,
Before comes age's night:
While yet the sun shines o'er thee,
While stars the darkness cheer;
While life is all before thee,
Thy great Creator fear.
Remember thy Creator,
Before the dust returns
To earth-for 'tis its nature-
And life's last ember burns:
Before that God who gave it,
The spirit shall appear;
He cries, who died to save it,
"Thy great Creator fear."
