Author: Thomas H. Gill Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16777 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Ah tremblers fainting and forlorn! Lyrics:
1 Ah tremblers fainting and forlorn!
Ye once were young and glad;
Ah weary souls! ah weaklings worn!
Ye once in might were clad.
2 Ah drooping hearts, wherein once glowed
Hope’s fire so bright and strong!
Ah dull cold lips, whose joy o’erflowed
Of old in many a song!
3 Young hearts, with hope and love on fire,
Would ye still sweetly burn?
Young souls to glory that aspire,
Would ye still nobly yearn?
4 Young souls so strong the race to run
And win each height sublime,
Unweary still would ye march on
And still exulting climb?
5 Walk with the Lord! along the road
Your strength He will renew;
Wait on the Everlasting God,
And He will wait on you.
6 Burn with His love! your fading fire
An endless flame will glow;
Life from the Well of Life require!
The stream will ever flow.
7 Ye shall not faint, ye shall not fail,
Still in the Spirit strong:
Each task divine ye still shall hail
And blend exulting song.
8 Aspiring eyes ye still shall raise
And heights sublime explore:
Like eagles, ye shall sunward gaze,
Like eagles heav’nward soar.
9 Your wondrous portion shall be this,
Your life below, above,
Eternal youth, eternal bliss
And everlasting love.
