Remember now while young at heart,
The Lord and Maker of your days
Delay it not ‘til evil’s dark
Remember now while young at heart
For years draw nigh when hope departs
As pleasures peak before they fade
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
While sunshine still its warmth imparts
Remember now while young at heart
While moon and stars retain their spark
Before clouds comeback after rain
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Before your hands are dealt weak cards
Remember now while young at heart
Before your back is bent and hard,
Your taste is dulled and vision glazed
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Before words end before they start
Remember now while young at heart
Before your appetite retards
And restless nights lay deaf and dazed
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Before a fear of falls is stark
Remember now while young at heart
Before hair thins and burdens swarm
Before pallbearers pine away
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
While mind and motions fresh restart
Remember now while young at heart
Since souls are God’s and dust is ours,
“It’s vanity,” the preachers say
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Review the proverbs' lessons taught
Remember now while young at heart
Let wise words enter every part
And hang your hopes on them today
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
There is one Book that reads your heart
Remember now while young at heart
This is the end, this is the start
Fear God and all His laws obey
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
Your every action, word, and thought
Remember now while young at heart
The light will leave no secret dark
From hidden hell to whispers prayed
Remember now while young at heart
The Lord and Maker of your days
— The End,
