Time and Eternity; or, longing after unseen Pleasures

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Time and Eternity; Time and Eternity First Line: How long shall earth's alluring toys Lyrics: 1 How long shall earth's alluring toys Detain our hearts and eyes, Regardless of immortal joys, And strangers to the skies? 2 These transient scenes will soon decay, They fade upon the sight; And quickly will their brightest day Be lost in endless night. 3 Their brightest day, alas, how vain! With conscious sighs we own; While clouds of sorrow, care and pain O'ershade the smiling noon. 4 O could our thoughts and wishes fly, Above these gloomy shades, To those bright worlds beyond the sky Which sorrow ne'er invades. 5 There joys unseen by mortal eyes, Or reason's feeble ray, In ever blooming prospects rise, Unconscious of decay. 6 Lord, send a beam of light divine, To guide our upward aim! With one reviving touch of thine, Our languid hearts inflame. 7 Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing Our ardent wishes rise To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring Immortal in the skies.

Shortness of Life and the Goodness of God

Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #498 (1844) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Time First Line: Time! what an empty vapour 'tis! Lyrics: 1 Time! what an empty vapour ’tis! And days how swift they are! Swift as an Indian arrow flies, Or like a shooting star. 2 [The present moments just appear, Then slide away in haste, That we can never say, “They’re here,” But only say “They’re past.”] 3 [Our life is ever on the wing, And death is ever nigh; The moment when our lives begin, We all begin to die.] 4 Yet, mighty God! our fleeting days Thy lasting favours share; Yet with the bounties of thy grace, Thou load’st the rolling year. 5 ’Tis sovereign mercy finds us food, And we are clothed with love; While grace stands pointing out the road That leads our souls above. 6 His goodness runs an endless round; All glory to the Lord! His mercy never knows a bound; And be his name adored. 7 Thus we begin the lasting song, And, when we close our eyes, Let the next age thy praise prolong Till time and nature dies.

God Is Working His Purpose Out

Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #507 (1986) Meter: Irregular Topics: Time Lyrics: 1 God is working His purpose out As year succeeds to year; God is working his purpose out, And the time is drawing near; Nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, Wherever foot has trod, By the mouth of many messengers Goes forth the voice of God: Give ear to me, ye continents, Ye isles, give ear to me, That the earth may be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, With the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth May shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin To set their captives free, That the earth may be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is worthless toil Unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide Till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, The time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled With the glory of God As the waters cover the sea.
