Author: Steele Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLXXXVIII (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Almighty Maker of my frame Lyrics: 1 Almighty Maker of my frame,
Teach me the measure of my days,
Teach me to know how frail I am,
And spend the remnant to thy praise.
2 My days are shorter than a span,
A little point my life appears;
How frail at best is dying man!
How vain are all his hopes and fears.
3 Vain his ambition, noise, and show?
Vain are the cares which rack his mind!
He heaps up treasures mix'd with woe;
And dies, and leaves them all behind.
4 O be a nobler portion mine;
My God, I bow before thy throne,
Earth's fleeting treasures I resign,
And fix my hope on thee alone. Topics: Time and Eternity Languages: English
