A Few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Rev. H. Bonar Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #332 (1929) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Future Life Mortality Lyrics: 1. A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Within their heav'nly home: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2. A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3. 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

Hours and Days and Years and Ages

Author: L. P. Brink Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #410 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Choral Section Man's Mortality Lyrics: 1. Hours and days and years and ages Swift as moving shadows flee, As we scan life's fleeting pages Naught enduring do we see: On the paths our feet are wending, Footprints all will be effaced, Present time to past is tending, Though its page is not erased. 2. They've departed who have borne us, And we flourish on their graves; Soon our children will bewail us, Dropping off like falling leaves; Dust of life, which time doth gather, In the grace of death is stored: Without Thee, Eternal Father, What is man on earth, O Lord? 3. Yet though time doth all things conquer, It doth not our lot decide; Thou alone, Eternal Father, Dost for aye our Lord abide. And when dangers round us gather, They cannot our souls molest; In Thy Son Thou art our Father, In Thy love our heart doth rest. 4. Speed along then, years and ages, With your gladness and your pain; E'en when deepest sorrow rages, Faithful doth our God remain: Tho' all early friends forsake us, Guided by His loving hand, To His heart we'll aye betake us, Looking tow'rd our Father-land.

The Issues of Life

Hymnal: The Psalter #136 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Man Mortal and Frail First Line: Dust to dust, the mortal dies Lyrics: 1 Dust to dust, the mortal dies, Both the foolish and the wise; None forever can remain, Each must leave his hoarded gain. Yet within their heart they say That their houses are for aye, That their dwelling places grand Shall for generations stand. 2 To their lands they give their name In the hope of lasting fame, But man's honor quickly flies, Like the lowly beast he dies. Tho' such folly mark their way, Men approve of what they say; Death their shepherd, they the sheep He within his fold will keep. 3 O'er them soon shall rule the just, All their beauty turn to dust; God my waiting soul shall save, He will raise me from the grave. Let no fear disturb your peace Tho' one's house and wealth increase; Death shall end his fleeting day, He shall carry naught away. 4 Though in life he wealth attained, Tho' the praise of men he gained, He shall join those gone before, Where the light shall shine no more. Crowned with honor tho' he be, Highly gifted, strong and free, If he be not truly wise, Man is like the beast that dies. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN

Man's Mortality, and Christ's Eternity; or, Saints die, but Christ and the Church live

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #181b (1740) Topics: God Eternal and Man mortal First Line: It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand Weakens our Strength amidst the Race; Disease and Death at his Command Arrest us, and cut short our Days. 2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray, Nor let our Sun go down at Noon; Thy Years are one eternal Day, And must thy Children die so soon? 3 Yet in the Midst of Death and Grief This Thought our Sorrow should asswage; "Our Father and our Saviour live; "Christ is the same through ev'ry Age." 4 'Twas he this Earth's Foundation laid; Heav'n is the Building of his Hand; This Earth grows old, these Heav'ns shall fade, And all be chang'd at his Command. 5 The starry Curtains of the Sky, Like Garments shall be laid aside; But still thy Throne stands firm on high; Thy Church for ever must abide. 6 Before thy Face thy Church shall live, And on thy Throne thy Children reign; This dying World shall they survive, And the dead Saints be rais'd again. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28 Languages: English

The Cry of the Mortal

Hymnal: The Psalter #244 (1912) Topics: Man Mortal and Frail First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish, Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye; All our days are passed in anguish, In Thy wrath we pine and id. Threescore years and ten we tarry, Fourscore years the strong may stay, Long the load of grief to carry, Till at last we fly away. 4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure, Who can fear Thee as he ought? Teach us now our days to measure And to wisdom turn our thought. Lord, return, regard our sadness; with Thy servants now abide; Fill our days with joy and gladness, With Thy mercy satisfied. 5 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ARMSTRONG
