Cousin Appears in 323 hymnals Topics: Old Age; Old Age First Line: The sands of time are sinking Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morning I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn, awakes. Dark, dark hath been the midnight; But dayspring is at hand, And glory glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 Oh, Christ! he is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love; The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above; There to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time he wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred by his love; I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth, In Immanuel's land.

My hope is in thy Name; From all my sins deliver me, Nor put my soul to shame. 2 I suffered silently, Because Thy will is best; Remove Thy heavy stroke from me, For I am sore distressed. 3 When sin thou dost repay And chasten and restrain, Man's beauty quickly fades away; Yea, human life is vain. 4 O Lord, regard my fears, And answer my request; Turn not in silence from my tears, But give the mourner rest. 5 I am a stranger here, Dependent on Thy grace, A pilgrim, as my fathers were, With no abiding place. 6 O spare me and restore My failing strength, I pray; Ere I go hence and be no more, The hand of judgment stay.

Psalm 90

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 161 hymnals Topics: Old age death First Line: Through every age, eternal God Lyrics: Through every age, eternal God, Thou art our rest, our safe abode; High was thy throne ere heav'n was made, Or earth thy humble footstool laid. Long hadst thou reigned ere time began, Or dust was fashioned to a man; And long thy kingdom shall endure When earth and time shall be no more. But man, weak man, is born to die, Made up of guilt and vanity; Thy dreadful sentence, Lord, was just, "Return, ye sinners, to your dust." [A thousand of our years amount Scarce to a day in thine account; Like yesterday's departed light, Or the last watch of ending night. Death, like an overflowing stream, Sweeps us away; our life's a dream, An empty tale, a morning flower, Cut down and withered in an hour.] [Our age to seventy years is set; How short the time! how frail the state! And if to eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan than live. But O how oft thy wrath appears, And cuts off our expected years! Thy wrath awakes our humble dread; We fear the power that strikes us dead.] Teach us, O Lord, how frail is man; And kindly lengthen out our span, Till a wise care of piety Fit us to die, and dwell with thee. Scripture: Psalm 90
