Life is the time to serve the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Sacred Harp #28b (1991) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t’insure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return.
2 Life is the hour that God has giv’n,
To escape hell and fly to heav’n;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessing of the day.
3 The living know that they must die,
But all the dead forgotten lie;
Their mem’ry and their sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown. Languages: English Tune Title: WELLS

My hands with all your might pursue,
Since no device, nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope beneath the ground.

In the cold grave to which we haste,
But darkness, death, and long despair,
Reign in eternal silence there. Topics: Holy Spirit Vanity and uncertainty of life; Life the Day of Grace and Hope Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #635 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics:
Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t' insure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
[Life is the hour that God has giv'n
To 'scape from hell and fly to heav'n;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.]
The living know that they must die,
But all the dead forgotten lie;
Their mem'ry and their sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
[Their hatred and their love is lost,
Their envy buried in the dust;
They have no share in all that's done
Beneath the circuit of the sun.]
Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue;
Since no device nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.
There are no acts of pardon passed
In the cold grave, to which we haste;
But darkness, death, and long despair,
Reign in eternal silence there.
