Who knows how soon my life be ended!

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #210 (1898) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Life Brevity, Uncertainty and Solemnity of Lyrics: 1 Who knows how soon my life be ended! Time flies and death is hasting on. How suddenly, without a warning, The end may come and life be gone! O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 2 Teach me, O Lord, my days to number, And when this life I shall depart, Let me commend my soul to Jesus, And die with a repentant heart. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 3 O God, my sins in mercy cover With merits of Thy dying Son! In Him I put my trust securely, He on the cross my pardon won. O God, when toils my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 4 Help me to set mine house in order Betimes, and ever ready be, That when Thou callest, I may answer Lord, as Thou wilt do unto me. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 5 The sorrows and the cross of Jesus Make death-beds soft, and light the grave; They comfort me in hour of parting, And give the grace I fain would have. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 6 From Jesus naught shall ever part me; In faith I touch His pierced side And hail Him Lord, my God and Saviour; Nor life nor death shall us divide. O God, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake may all be well! 7 Meanwhile in God I live contented, Or die without an anxious thought. Where He doth lead, there will I follow, For I believe without a doubt, Through faith, when tolls my parting knell, For Jesus' sake, all shall be well.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #155 (1898) Topics: Life Brevity, Uncertainty and Solemnity of Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 4 Thou on my head in every youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee; On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 5 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 6 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 7 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. Languages: English Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES

Covenant Faithfulness

Hymnal: The Psalter #243 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life Brevity and Uncertainty of First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 2 My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 3 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And never more My grace remove, And never more My grace remove. 4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his pow'r and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land, Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My first-born son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. 6 For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure, His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 7 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove, My mercy I will not remove. 8 Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake, Nor change the promise that I spake. 9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away, When sun and moon have passed away. 10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down, His matchless strength is broken down. 11 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway, Forgotten is his kingly sway. 12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English Tune Title: ROTHWELL
