How short and hasty is our life!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #287 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Frailty of Man; Man frailty of Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life! How vast our souls' affairs! Yet senseless mortals vainly strive To lavish out their years. 2 Our days run thoughtlessly along, Without a moment's stay; Just like a story, or a song We pass our lives away. 3 God from on high invites us home, But we march heedless on, And ever hast'ning to the tomb, Stoop downwards as we run. 4 How we deserve the deepest hell, That slight the joys above! What chains of vengeance should we feel, That break such cords of love! 5 Draw us, O Saviour, with Thy grace, And lift our thoughts on high, That we may end this mortal race, And see salvation nigh.

And am I born to die?

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #294 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Frailty of Man; Man frailty of Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? 2 Soon as from earth I go, What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be! 3 Waked by the trumpet's sound, I from my grave shall rise, And see the Judge, with glory crown'd, And see the flaming skies. 4 How shall I leave my tomb? With triumph or regret? A fearful or a joyful doom, A curse or blessing meet? 5 O Thou that wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who diedst thyself, my soul to save From endless misery. 6 Show me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe, That when Thou comest on Thy throne, I may with joy appear.

And am I only born to die?

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #296 (1870) Topics: Frailty of Man; Man frailty of Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die? And must I suddenly comply With nature’s stern decree? What after death for me remains? Celestial joys, or hellish pains, To all eternity. 2 How then ought I on earth to live, While God prolongs the kind reprieve, And props the house of clay; My sole concern, my single care, To watch, and tremble, and prepare Against the fatal day! 3 No room for mirth or trifling here, For worldly hope, or worldly fear, If life so soon is gone; If now the judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand before The inexorable throne! 4 Nothing is worth a thought beneath, But how I may escape the death That never, never dies! How make mine own election sure; And when I fail on earth, secure A mansion in the skies. 5 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way To glorious happiness. Ah! write the pardon on my heart; And whensoe’er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace. Languages: English
