Eternal Youth by Thomas H. Gill

Ah tremblers fainting and forlorn!
Ye once were young and glad;
Ah weary souls! ah weaklings worn!
Ye once in might were clad.

Ah drooping hearts, wherein once glowed
Hope’s fire so bright and strong!
Ah dull cold lips, whose joy o’erflowed
Of old in many a song!

Young hearts, with hope and love on fire,
Would ye still sweetly burn?
Young souls to glory that aspire,
Would ye still nobly yearn?

Young souls so strong the race to run
And win each height sublime,
Unweary still would ye march on
And still exulting climb?

Walk with the Lord! along the road
Your strength He will renew;
Wait on the Everlasting God,
And He will wait on you.

Burn with His love! your fading fire
An endless flame will glow;
Life from the Well of Life require!
The stream will ever flow.

Ye shall not faint, ye shall not fail,
Still in the Spirit strong:
Each task divine ye still shall hail
And blend exulting song.

Aspiring eyes ye still shall raise
And heights sublime explore:
Like eagles, ye shall sunward gaze,
Like eagles heav’nward soar.

Your wondrous portion shall be this,
Your life below, above,
Eternal youth, eternal bliss
And everlasting love.
