Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: At ev'ry motion of our breath Lyrics: 1 At ev'ry motion of our breath, Life trembles on the brink of death; A taper's flame that upward turns, While downward to the dust it burns. 2 Moment by moment years are past, And one ere long will be our last, There is a point no eyes can see, Yet on it hangs eternity. 3 This is that moment—who shall tell Whether it leads to heav'n or hell? This is that moment—as we choose, Th'immortal soul we save or lose. 4 Time past and time to come are not— Time present is our only lot; O God! henceforth our hearts incline To seek no other love than thine.

Our nature fell in Adam's fall

Author: Lazarus Spengler; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our nature fell in Adam's fall, One common sin infects us all, From sire to son the bane descends, And over all the curse impends. 2 Corruption creeps through all our powers, And withers all life's heavenly flowers; In guilt we draw our earliest breath, And reap its fruits of woe and death. 3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone, Flow thoughts and deed of sin alone; God's image lost, the darkened soul Nor seeks nor finds its heavenly goal. 4 But Christ, the second Adam, came To bear our sin and woe and shame, To be our life, and by His grace To new-create our fallen race. 5 Thanks, Savior! that new life is ours, That grace has changed our broken powers; O, still that saving grace extend, To make us steadfast to the end.

The living know that they must die

Author: Anon. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The living know that they must die, But all the dead unconscious lie; Their powers of thought and sense are gone, Alike unknowing the unknown. 2 Their hatred and their love are lost, Their envy buried in the dust; They have no share in all that's done Beneath the circuit of the sun. 3 Then what my thoughts design to do, My hands must hasten to pursue; Since no device, nor work is found, Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.

Ah! Lord, with Late Regret I Own

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah! Lord, with late regret I own, I have the double evil done, Forsook the Spring of life and peace, And toiled for earthly happiness. 2 But what in the I sought in pain, I could not from the creatures gain, The cisterns which my folly hewed They would not hold one drop of good. 3 Now for my double sin I grieve, Again the broken cisterns leave, Again I after Thee would go, And gasp they only love to know. 4 Fountain of true felicity, Eternal God, spring up in me, And filled with life and love and power My heart shall never wander more.
