Sov'reign of life! before thine eye

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXL (1789) Topics: Life, Death, and a future States Mortality Lyrics: 1 Sov'reign of life! before thine eye, Lo, mortal men by thousands die! One glance from thee at once brings down The proudest brown that wears a crown! 2 Banish'd at once from human sight, To the dark grave's unchanging night, Imprison'd in that dusty bed, We hide our solitary head. 3 The friendly band no more shall greet, (Accents familiar once, and sweet!) No more the well-known features trace, No more renew the fond embrace. 4 Yet, if our Father's faithful hand Conduct us thro' this gloomy land, Our souls with pleasure shall obey, And follow where he leads the way. 5 He, nobler friends than here we leave, In brighter, surer worlds, can give; Or, by the beamings of his eye, A lost creation well supply.
