Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard, 1876-1968 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5040 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. O Jesus, youth of Nazareth,
Preparing for the bitter strife,
Wilt Thou impart to every heart
Thy perfect purity of life?
2. O Christ whose words make dear the fields
And hillsides green of Galilee,
Grant us to find with reverent mind
The truth Thou saidst should make us free.
3. O suffering Lord on Calvary,
Whom love led on to mortal pain,
We know Thy cross is not a loss
If we Thy love shall truly gain.
4. O Master of abundant life,
From natal morn to victory’s hour,
We look to Thee, heed Thou our plea,
Teach us to share Thy ageless power. Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
O Jesus, Youth of Nazareth
