My Barns Are Full

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12032 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: My barns are full, my stores increase Lyrics: 1 "My barns are full, my stores increase, And now, for many years, Soul, eat and drink, and take thine ease, Secure from wants and fears." 2 Thus while a worldling boasted once, As many now presume; He heard the Lord Himself pronounce His sudden, awful doom. 3 "This night, vain fool, thy soul must pass Into a world unknown; And who shall then the stores possess Which thou hast called thine own?" 4 Thus blinded mortals fondly scheme For happiness below; Till death disturbs the pleasing dream, And they awake to woe. 5 Ah! who can speak the vast dismay That fills the sinner’s mind; When torn, by death’s strong hand, away, He leaves his all behind. 6 Wretches, who cleave to earthly things, But are not rich to God; Their dying hour is full of stings, And hell their dark abode. 7 Dear Savior, make us timely wise, Thy Gospel to attend; That we may live above the skies, When this poor life shall end.
