To visit him with grace?

How short and hasty is our life!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #287 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Frailty of Man; Man frailty of Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life!
How vast our souls' affairs!
Yet senseless mortals vainly strive
To lavish out their years.
2 Our days run thoughtlessly along,
Without a moment's stay;
Just like a story, or a song
We pass our lives away.
3 God from on high invites us home,
But we march heedless on,
And ever hast'ning to the tomb,
Stoop downwards as we run.
4 How we deserve the deepest hell,
That slight the joys above!
What chains of vengeance should we feel,
That break such cords of love!
5 Draw us, O Saviour, with Thy grace,
And lift our thoughts on high,
That we may end this mortal race,
And see salvation nigh. Languages: English
How short and hasty is our life!
And am I born to die?
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #294 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Frailty of Man; Man frailty of Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
2 Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be!
3 Waked by the trumpet's sound,
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge, with glory crown'd,
And see the flaming skies.
4 How shall I leave my tomb?
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom,
A curse or blessing meet?
5 O Thou that wouldst not have
One wretched sinner die,
Who diedst thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery.
6 Show me the way to shun
Thy dreadful wrath severe,
That when Thou comest on Thy throne,
I may with joy appear. Languages: English
And am I born to die?
