Make Christ Your King

O youth

with life be­fore you

And with glad­ness all around

While in your heart the songs

Of hope and cour­age ring

Remember thy cre­at­or

While the ev­il days come not

And choose the Christ of

Calvary to be your king.

Choose today! ack­now­ledge Him your Sav­ior;

Choose to­day! your heart a trib­ute bring

Unto Him who suf­fered to re­deem you

Let Him rule and reign

your king!

Choose to­day

for love and val­iant serv­ice

Unto Him be­long

Take the vow

and ev­er faith­ful be

Till you sing the vic­tor’s song.

True wis­dom you are seek­ing;

No one ev­er sought in vain

Who asked of Him who lived

And taught in Ga­li­lee;

A full­ness and a bright­ness

For your life in Him you’ll find

And safe­ty from the sins

That lie in wait for thee.

Courageous be

and loy­al

For on ev­ery hand are foes

That wait with sub­tle charms

To lead your feet as­tray

Yet Christ the world’s Re­deem­er

Every step be­fore you knows

And He will guide

and guard

And love you all the way.
