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

We Come to Thank You, God, by Singing

Author: Herman A.

The sunlight may be disappearing, but you, our light, stay bright and strong. You have surrounded us with favor, more than a father you have been. Our source of blessing will not waver; your mercies, Lord, are clearly seen. 2 You chose to safeguard us forever; your hand has fed us, led us through. When we were troubled, you were ever our helper near, so close and true. This evening we must not be anxious our minds and bodies will be blest. We give you thanks for help so gracious; from dawn to dawn you never rest. 3 We know who is our consolation, unchanging, though night follows day. We know the Rock, our firm foundation; you never fail, our strength and stay. Though you may call us in the evening of lives made weary by our strife, we rest our hope for brighter morning on you, Lord of eternal life! Languages: English Tune Title: DIE TUGEND WIRD

When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O Lord who changes not, abide with me. 3 I need your presence every passing hour. What but your grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like yourself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with you at hand to bless, though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory? I triumph still, if you abide with me. 5 Hold now your Word before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Scripture: Psalm 102:26-27 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Thee we adore, Eternal Name!

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #475 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Frailty of Man; Man frailty of Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name! And humbly own to Thee How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we! 2 Our wasting lives are short'ning still, As months and days increase; And ev'ry beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. 3 Great God! on what a slender thread Hang everlasting things! Th'eternal state of all the dead Upon life's feeble strings. 4 Infinite joy, or endless woe Attends on every breath; And yet, how unconcern'd we go Upon the brink of death! 5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road! And if our souls are hurried hence, May they be found with God. Languages: English

And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 God, my Redeemer lives, And often, from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 3 Array'd in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And ev'ry shape, and ev'ry face, Look heavenly and divine. 4 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 5 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.
