O youth, with life be­fore you,
And with glad­ness all around,
While in your heart the songs
Of hope and cour­age ring,
Remember thy cre­at­or
While the ev­il days come not,
And choose the Christ of
Calvary to be your king.

Refrain

Choose today! ack­now­ledge Him your Sav­ior;
Choose to­day! your heart a trib­ute bring
Unto Him who suf­fered to re­deem you,
Let Him rule and reign, your king!
Choose to­day, for love and val­iant ser­vice
Unto Him be­long,
Take the vow, and ev­er faith­ful be
Till you sing the vic­tor’s song.

True wis­dom you are seek­ing;
No one ev­er sought in vain
Who asked of Him who lived
And taught in Ga­li­lee;
A full­ness and a bright­ness
For your life in Him you’ll find,
And safe­ty from the sins
That lie in wait for thee.

Refrain

Courageous be, and loy­al,
For on ev­ery hand are foes
That wait with sub­tle charms
To lead your feet as­tray,
Yet Christ the world’s Re­deem­er
Every step be­fore you knows,
And He will guide, and guard,
And love you all the way.
