1 While yet the youthful spirit bears

The image of its God within,

And uneffaced that beauty wears,

Which may too soon be stained by sin;

To take in charge their precious care,—

Teach the young heart to look above,

Teach the young lips to speak in prayer.

3 The world will come with care and crime,
