Death and Eternity

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DL (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My thoughts, that often mount the skies Lyrics: 1 My thoughts, that often mount the skies, Go, search the world beneath, Where nature all in ruin lies, And owns her sovereign, death. 2 The tyrant how he triumphs here*, His trophies spread around! And heaps of dust and bones appear Thro' all the hollow ground. 3 Those skulls, what ghastly figures now! How loathsome to the eyes! These are the heads we lately knew So beauteous and so wise. 4 But where the souls those deathless things, That left their dying clay? My thoughts, now stretch out all your wings, And trace eternity! 5 O that unfathomable sea! Those deeps without a shore! Where living waters gently play, Or fiery billows roar. 6 There we shall swim in heavenly bliss, Or sink in flaming waves, While the pale carcase breathless lies Among the silent graves. 7 "Prepare us, Lord, for thy right hand, "Then come the joyful day, "Come, death, and some celestial band, "To bear our souls away."
