                    I am now in a sweet scented place,
                    Where the lily's expelling its scent;
                  Sharon's rose, from the valley of grace,
                    Fills my life with its incense divine.

           411.  All YOUTH COME TO THE LORD
                         OH, JOVENES VEN/0
                     Epp 6.1t-t2·'f01:ffttit'Jrr·2:1tl'BATTLE
             All Youth come to the Lord, see His banner is unfurled,
                  It is waving proudly in His nation's sight;
            All soldiers to their stations, the Lord will walk the guard,
              He will lead you to the battle, be prepared to fight.
                             CHORUS
                Follow after Christ, we are ready without fear,
            Onward to the fray, fill yow breast with strength and grit;
                  We will go to battle, Satan's end is near,
                   Jesus Christ our General is leading on.
                               2
               Oh, youth come to the Lord, the Paladin divine,
                Will enlist your service for his righteous cause;
               Proceed with Him in battle, no tirne to hesitate,
               Let us hurry to the battle, my companions come!
                               3
          Our Chief shall place in your hands his weapons without match,
                  Of His holy gospel and His perfect love;
             Be vested with their power and keep a faithful watch,
               My compc)nions let us follow Him, we will prevail.
                               4
                The enemy engendered by Satan is so fierce,
             Are empowered by their Captain and their wickedness;
           Stand strong, ye Youthful Soldiers, your hearts they cannot
                              pierce,
          Stand beside the Savior, at his right hand, the place of the blest.
                                5
               Who ever comes to battle will listen to His voice,
                 At the hand of Christ we will have victory;
             Now onward, my companions, let us be brave for Him,

                               THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD HYMNAL,  343
