The stream of life is going dry

Author: Alice Cary Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #913 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Time and Eternity Lyrics: 1 The stream of life is going dry; Thank God, that more and more I see the golden sands, which I Could never see before. 2 The banks are dark with graves of friends; Thank God, for faith sublime In the eternity that send Its shadows into time. 3 The flowers are gone that with their glow Of sunshine filled the grass; Thank God, they were but dim and low Reflections in a glass. 4 The autumn winds are blowing chill; The summer warmth is done; Thank God, the little dew-drop still Is drawn into the sun. 5 Strange stream, to be exhaled so fast In cloudy cares and tears; Thank God, that it should shine at last, Along the immortal years.

Thee we adore, Eternal Name

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LV (1766) Topics: Eternity succeeding this life 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, where'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 Good God! on what a slender Thread! Hang everlasting Things! Th' eternal States of all the Dead Upon Life's feeble Strings. 6 Infinite Joy, or endless Woe, Attends on every Breath; And yet how unconcern'd we go Upon the brink of Death! 7 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.

High in the heavens, eternal God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #52 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God Eternity of Lyrics: 1 High in the heav'ns, Eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through ev'ry cloud That veils and darkens thy designs. 2 For ever firm thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3 Thy providence is kind and large, Both man and beast thy bounty share; The whole creation is thy charge, But saints are thy peculiar care. 4 My God, how excellent thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort spring! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of thy wing. 5 From the provisions of thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. 6 Life, like a fountain, rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy Word. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 36:5-9 Languages: English Tune Title: ALSACE

Psalm 90

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.190 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God eternal, and man mortal; Mortality and God's eternity 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.
