- Edition notes: Note shapes added (4-shape). Holden included only the first stanza of Gibbons' hymn, but it makes little sense by itself; the whole song is repeated with the second stanza. The third and fourth stanzas are similarly paired below.

English text
In the soft season of thy youth,
In nature's smiling bloom,
Ere age arrives, and, trembling, wait
Its summons to the tomb.
Remember thy Creator, God;
For Him thy powers employ.
Make Him thy fear, thy love, thy hope,
Thy confidence, thy joy.
He shall defend and guide thy course
Through life's uncertain sea,
Till thou art landed on the shore
Of blest eternity.
Then seek the Lord betimes, and choose
The path of heavenly truth;
The earth affords no lovelier sight
Than a religious youth.
