Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: The time draws near, my soul, when thou Lyrics: 1 The time draws near, my soul, when thou Thy last account must give: When thy whole life shall be surveyed By Him who bid thee live. 2 How many talents, O my God, Hast thou bestowed on me? But yet how little can be found, That I have done for Thee? 3 My health, my time, my worldly store, And Thy more precious Word Thy talents are; for these must I Account to Thee my Lord. 4 Much of my time, alas! I’ve lost, And much have I misspent; How careless of my grand concerns, On trifles how intent? 5 How little good have I received? How little have I done? How oft my feet have trod the paths I know I ought to shun? 6 Pity my weakness, gracious God, My sins thro’ Christ forgive; Teach me henceforth not to myself But unto Thee to live. 7 O may the slothful servant’s doom My holy care excite: Each talent may I well improve, And in Thy work delight. 8 Then like a faithful steward I Shall stand before Thy seat; Let me but hear, "Well done," at last, My bliss will be complete.

Laugh, Ye Profane

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Laugh, ye profane, and swell and burst Lyrics: 1 Laugh, ye profane, and swell and burst, With bold impiety: Yet shall ye live for ever cursed, And seek in vain to die. 2 The gasp of your expiring breath Consigns your souls to chains, By the last agonies of death Sent down to fiercer pains. 3 Ye stand upon a dreadful steep, And all beneath is hell; Your weighty guilt will sink you deep Where the old serpent fell. 4 When iron slumbers bind your flesh, With strange surprise you’ll find Immortal vigor spring afresh, And tortures wake the mind! 5 Then you’ll confess the frightful names Of plagues you scorned before, No more shall look like idle dreams, Like foolish tales no more. 6 Then shall ye curse that fatal day, With flames upon your tongue, When you exchanged your souls away For vanity and songs. 7 Behold, the saints rejoice to die, For Heav’n shines round their heads; And angel guards prepared to fly, Attend their fainting beds. 8 Their longing spirits part, and rise To their celestial seat; Above these ruinable skies They make their last retreat. 0 Hence, ye profane, I hate your ways, I walk with pious souls; There’s a wide difference in our race, And distant are our goals.

In love so near, be pleased to hear Thy little children’s praise. 4. O may that sign that we are Thine— Our Father, Savior, friend— Which sealed our brow, be on us now, And with us to the end. 5. Through all our way, and every day Believed, beloved, adored; Be this our grace, to see Thy face In Jesus Christ our Lord. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Church Monthly, July 1899
