The Psalms of David ‎#I.XC

I.XC. Lo the young Tribes of Adam rise

1 Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise,
And through 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 fiery Test?
I give all mortal Joys away,
To be for ever blest.
