Gracefully Gray

"Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have showed Thy strength unto this generation, and Thy power to every one that is come" (Psalm 71:18). "The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.... The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head" (Proverbs 16:31 20:29).

The glory of youth is their strength,
Unless it is squandered away.
The beauty of old age the length
Of time with the Lord when we're gray.

So whether we're young or we're old,
Let this be our cause every hour:
To find us increasingly bold
To tell of our Lord's saving power.
