Pray'r is the soul's sincere desire
Thee We Adore, Eternal Name
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 373 hymnals 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. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Warning Message Frailty, Uncertainty of Life Scripture: Psalm 39:4 Used With Tune: NEWCASTLE
Thee We Adore, Eternal Name
