Teach me the measure of my days

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #P.XXXIX.II (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Vanity of Man as Mortal Lyrics: 5 Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame; I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 6 A span is all that we can boast, An inch or two of time; Man is but vanity and dust In all his flow'r and prime. 7 See the vain race of mortals move Like shadows o'er the plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 8 Some walk in honour's gaudy show, Some dig for golden ore; They toil for heirs they know not who, And straight are seen no more. 9 What should I wish or wait for then From creatures, earth and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 10 Now I forbid my carnal hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal int'rest up, And make my God my all.

Teach me the measure of my days

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #702 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Vanity of Man as Mortal Lyrics: 1 Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame! I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A span is all that we can boast; An fleeting hour of time; Man is but vanity and dust In all his flow'r and prime. 3 See the vain race of mortals move, Like shadows o'er the plain: They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 4 Some walk in honour's gaudy show; Some dig for golden ore; They toil for heirs they know not who, And straight are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then, From creatures, earth and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 6 Now I resign my earthly hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal int'rest up, And make my God my all.
