Ah! well I remember, when youthful and gay,
In mirthfulness sporting while time sped away,
With my parents went to the house of the Lord,
And wonder’d what made them rejoice in His word.
But when my dear Savior, so precious to me,
My blind eyes did open, my sins all to see,
With fearfulness, trembling, too great to express,
I went to that house fill’d with woe and distress.
When Jesus, my blessed Redeemer and Friend,
Reveal’d that He was the Beginning and End,
