1. Indulgent God! with pitying eye | |||
The sons of men survey. | |||
And see how youthful sinners sport | |||
In a destructive way! | |||
2. Ten thousand dangers lurk around, | |||
To bear them to the tomb: | |||
Each in an hour may plunge them down | |||
Where hope can never come. | |||
3. Reduce, O Lord, their wandering minds, | |||
Amused with airy dreams, | |||
That heavenly wisdom may dispel | |||
Their visionary schemes. | |||
4. With holy caution may they walk, | |||
And be thy word their guide; | |||
Till each, the desert safely passed, | |||
On Zion's hill abide. | |||

1. Indulgent God, with pitying eye | |||
The sons or men survey, | |||
And see how youthful sinners sport | |||
In a destructive way. | |||
2. In pleasure's flowery path they tread | |||
On future years presume; | |||
Although ten thousand snares are spread | |||
To snatch them to the tomb. | |||
3. Reduce, O Lord, their wandering mind | |||
Amused with airy dreams, | |||
That heavenly wisdom may dispel | |||
Their visionary schemes. | |||
4. With holy caution may they walk | |||
And make thy word their guide; | |||
Till each, the danger safely past | |||
On Zion's hill abide. | |||

1. Indulgent God! with pitying eyes | |||
The sons of men survey. | |||
Alas! how thoughtless mortals sport | |||
In sin's destructive way! | |||
2. Ten thousand dangers lurk around, | |||
To bear them to the tomb: | |||
Each passing hour may place them where, | |||
Repentance cannot come. | |||
3. Reclaim, O Lord! their wand'ring minds, | |||
Amused with airy dreams; | |||
That heavenly wisdom may dispel | |||
Their visionary schemes. | |||
4. Guide and direct them by word, | |||
Their dangerous state to see; | |||
That they may seek and find the path, | |||
That leads to heaven and thee. | |||
