Oh, won’t you be a Chris­tian
While you’re young?
Oh, won’t you be a Chris­tian
While you’re young?
Don’t think it will be bet­ter
To de­lay it un­til lat­er,
But re­mem­ber your Cre­at­or
While you’re young.

Oh, won’t you love the Sav­ior
While you’re young?
Oh, won’t you love the Sav­ior
While you’re young?
For you He left His glo­ry,
And em­braced a cross so go­ry,
Won’t you heed the melt­ing sto­ry
While you’re young?

Remember, death may find you
While you’re young!
Remember, death may find you
While you’re young:
For friends are oft­en weep­ing,
And the stars their watch are keep­ing
O’er the gras­sy graves, where sleep­ing
Lie the young.

Oh, walk the path to glo­ry
While you’re young;
Oh, walk the path to glo­ry
While you’re young;
And Je­sus will be­friend you,
And from dan­ger will de­fend you,
And a peace di­vine will send you
While you’re young.

Then won’t you be a Chris­tian
While you’re young?
Then won’t you be a Chris­tian
While you’re young?
Why from the fu­ture bor­row,
When, ere comes another mor­row,
You may weep in endless sor­row
While you’re young?
