EN 2041 Ye Sons of Adam, Vain and Young
Eccl.11.9
Versi Version 1
1
Ye sons of Adam, vain and young,
Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue,
Taste the delights your souls desire,
And give a loose to all your fire;
2
Pursue the pleasures you design,
And cheer your hearts with songs and wine;
Enjoy the day of mirth, but know
There is a day of judgment, too.
3
God from on high records your thoughts,
His book records your secret faults;
The works of darkness you have done
Must all appear before the sun.
4
The vengeance to your follies due
Should strike your hearts with terror through:
How will you stand before His face,
Or answer for His injured grace?
5
Almighty God! turn off their eyes
From these alluring vanities;
And let the thunder of Thy Word
Awake their souls to fear the Lord.
