476 What the Young Must Pursue
Verse 1
Prejudiced eyes and deceit
are not what the youth should have.
Awful and destructive ways
are not how the youth should act.
They should have aspirations,
ardently strive to advance,
not lose heart over their prospects,
keep faith in life, the future.
Chorus
Youth should have resolve in discernment,
seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly.
You must not take this lightly.
Verse 2
Youth should persist in the path of truth,
thus expend their lives for God.
They should not lack the truth,
nor harbor falseness, unrighteousness.
They should take the proper stance.
They shouldn’t just drift along.
They should dare to sacrifice,
fight for justice and the truth.
Chorus
Youth should have resolve in discernment,
seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly.
You must not take this lightly.
Verse 3
Young people should not give in
to oppression of dark force.
They must have the courage to
change the meaning of their lives.
Young people shouldn’t resign
themselves to adversity,
they should be open and frank,
forgive fellow believers.
Chorus
Youth should have resolve in discernment,
seeking justice and the truth.
Pursue all things beautiful,
gain reality of positive things.
Be responsible towards life.
You must not take this lightly.
You must not take this lightly.
