I Constant Care Will Take
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2757 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. I constant care will take,
Lest sinful words they hear;
My lips their silence shall not break
While wicked men are near.
2. I dumb and silent stood,
No words of mine were heard;
I even refrained from speaking good,
Till sorrow’s deeps were stirred.
3. My heart was all on fire,
With burning thoughts suppressed;
My tongue was loosed, my soul’s desire
I then to God addressed.
4. My end, Lord, make me know,
My days, how soon they fail;
And to my thoughtful spirit show
How weak I am and frail.
5. To Thy eternal thought
My days are but a span;
To Thee my years appear as naught,
A breath at best is man.
6. Man lives in empty show,
His anxious care is vain,
He hoards his wealth, and does not know
Who shall possess his gain. Languages: English Tune Title: AYLESBURY

Lest sinful words they hear;
My lips their silence shall not break
While wicked men are near.

I e'en refrained from speaking good,
Till sorrow's deeps were stirred.
3 My heart was all on fire,
With burning tho'ts suppressed;
My tongue was loosed, my soul's desire
I then to God addressed.
4 My end, Lord, make me know,
My days, how soon they fall;

How weak I am and frail.
5 To Thy eternal thought
My days are but a span;
To Thee my years appear as nought,
A breath at best is man.
6 Man lives in empty show,
His anxious care is vain,
He hoards his wealth, and does not know
Who shall possess his gain.

Author of "I Constant Care Will Take" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
