Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCLXII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Youth And judgment First Line: Lo! the young tribes of Adam rise Lyrics: 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 forever blest. Languages: English
