Old Age approaching, or man frail and mortal

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Old Age First Line: Eternal God, enthroned on high Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! enthron'd on high! Whom angel-hosts adore; Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh, Thy presence I implore. 2 O guide me down the steep of age, And keep my passions cool; Teach me to scan the sacred page, And practice every rule. 3 My flying years time urges on, What's human must decay; My friends, my young companions gone, Can I expect to stay? 4 Can I exemption plead, when death Projects his awful dart? Can med'cines then prolong my breath, Or virtue shield my heart? 5 Ah! no—then smooth the mortal hour, On thee my hope depends; Support me with almighty power, While dust to dust descends. 6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels join the lay) Admitted to the bless'd abode, Its endless anthems pay. 7 Thro' heaven, howe'er remote the bound, Thy matchless love proclaim, And join the choir of saints that sound Their great redeemer's name.
