The swift-declining day
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #828 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 The swift-declining day,
How fast its moments fly!
While evening's broad and gloomy shade
Gains on the western sky.
2 Ye mortals! mark its pace,
And use the hours of light;
For know, its Maker can command
At once eternal night.
3 Give glory to the Lord,
Who rules the whirling sphere;
Submissive at his footstool bow,
And seek salvation there.
4 Then shall new luster break
Through death's impending gloom,
And lead you to unchanging light,
In your celestial home.
The swift-declining day
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #829 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings 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 given
To escape from hell and fly to heaven;
The day of grace; and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3 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.
4 There are no acts of pardon past
In the cold grave to which we haste;
But darkness, death, and long despair
Reign in eternal silence there. Scripture: Proverbs 1:24-32
Life is the time to serve the Lord
