Through sorrow's night and danger's path
How short and hasty is our life!
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life!
How vast our souls' affairs!
Yet senseless mortals vainly strive
To lavish out their years,
To lavish out their years.
2 Our days run thoughtlessly along,
Without a moment's stay;
Just like a story, or a song
We pass our lives away,
We pass our lives away.
3 God from on high invites us home,
But we march heedless on,
And ever hastening to the tomb,
Stoop downwards as we run,
Stoop downwards as we run.
4 How we deserve the deepest hell,
That slight the joys above!
What chains of vengeance should we feel,
That break such cords of love!
That break such cords of love!
5 Draw us, O Saviour, with Thy grace,
And lift our thoughts on high,
That we may end this mortal race,
And see salvation nigh,
And see salvation nigh.
Amen. Topics: Accepted Time; Brevity of Life; Gospel Call; Life Solemnity of Used With Tune: MORAVIAN
How short and hasty is our life!
