The Shortness of Time and Frailty of Man

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Publication Date: 1792 First Line: Almighty maker of my frame Lyrics: 1 Almighty maker of my frame, Teach me the measure of my days! Teach me to know how frail I am, And spend the remnant to thy praise. 2 My days are shorter than a span, A little point my life appears; How frail at best is dying man! How vain are all his hopes and fears. 3 Vain his ambition, noise, and show! Vain are the cares which rack his mind! He heaps up treasures mix'd with woe; And dies and leaves them all behind. 4 O be a nobler portion mine; My God, I bow before thy throne, Earth's fleeting treasures I resign, And fix my hope on thee alone.
