Thee We Adore, Eternal Name

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #557 (1972) 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 grow shorter still, As months and days increase, And ev'ry beating pulse we tell, Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave; Whate'er we do, whate'er we be, We're trav'ling to the grave. 4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Infinite joy, or wretched woe, Attends on ev'ry breath; And yet how unconcerned we go, Upon the brink of death! 6 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dang'rous road; And if our souls are hurried hence, May they be found with God.
