{Go Thou in Lifes Morning
MISSIONARY HYMN-Lowell Mason
Go Thou in Life's Morning
}
Go thou in life's fair morning,
Go in the bloom of youth;
And buy, for thine adorning,
The precious pearl of truth:
Secure this heavenly treasure,
And bind it on thine heart,
And let not earthly pleasure
E'er cause it to depart.
Go, while the day-star shineth,
Go, while thy heart is light;
Go, ere thy strength declineth.
While every sense is bright:
Sell all thou hast, and buy it;
'Tis worth all earthly things-
Rubies, and gold and diamonds,
Sceptres and crowns of kings.
Go, ere the clouds of sorrow
Steal o'er the bloom of youth;
Deter not till tomorrow,
Go now, and buy the truth-
Go, seek thy great Creator,
Learn early to be wise;
Go, place upon His altar
A morning sacrifice.
