Soon With Resistless Arm Shall Death
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Soon with resistless arm shall death
Assert its sovereign claim,
And summon man to yield his breath
To Him whence first it came.
2 Like crowded forest trees we stand,
And some are marked to fall:
The axe will smite at God’s command,
And soon shall smite us all.
3 Green as the bay tree, ever green,
With its new foliage on,
The gay, the thoughtless, I have seen;
I passed—and they were gone.
4 No present health can health ensure
For yet an hour to come,
No human power our life secure
And save us from the tomb.
5 Lord! may we mark the awful truth,
Revealed in sacred page—
A worm is in the bud of youth,
And at the root of age.
6 Lord! teach me henceforth so to live,
And number all my days,
That in Thy strength I now may strive
To walk in wisdom’s ways.
7 And since the fatal shafts of death
Are flying all around,
Prepare us to resign our breath,
Nor dread the threatened wound. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: Select Portions of the Psalms, from Various Translations by John Kempthorne (London: J. Hatchard, 1810)

To Thee, Before The Dawning Light
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To Thee, before the dawning light
My gracious God, I pray;
I meditate Thy name by night,
And keep Thy law by day.
2 My spirit faints to see Thy grace,
Thy promise bears me up;
And while salvation long delays,
Thy Word supports my hope.
3 Seven times a day I lift my hands,
And pay my thanks to Thee;
Thy righteous providence demands
Repeated praise from me.
4 When midnight darkness veils the skies,
I call Thy works to mind;
My thoughts in warm devotion rise,
And sweet acceptance find. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

All O'er the World I Sought In Vain
Author: William H Marshall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 All o'er the world I sought in vain
For Peace and Hope and Light;
I sought to lose my guilt and stain
And wash my garments white.
2 But not in pleasure wild–ah, no–
Nor yet in deepest grief;
'Mongst rich or poor, 'mongst high or low,
Could I secure relief.
3 "I am a wretch undone," I cried,
"Ah whither shall I flee?"
A sweet voice said, "In Christ abide
And lose the misery."
4 In tears to Calvary I ran,
And fell at Jesus' feet:
There Peace and Hope and Light began
And made my life complete.
AMEN. Topics: Repentance and Pardon Used With Tune: SOHO
