Remember thy Creator, While youth's fair spring is bright, Before thy cares are greater, Before comes ages night. While yet the sun shines o'er thee, While stars the darkness cheer, While life is all before thee, Thy great Creator fear. Remember thy Creator, Ere life resigns its trust, Ere sinks dissolving nature, And dust returns to dust. Before with God who gave it, The spirit shall appear, He cries, who died to save it, Thy great Creator fear.
