God of eternity, from thee

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXXXVII (1789) Lyrics: 1 God of eternity, from thee Did infant time his being draw; Moments and days, and months, and years, Revolve by thy unvaried law. 2 Silent and slow they glide away; Steady and strong the current flows; Lost in eternity’s vast sea, The boundless gulf from whence it rose. 3 With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapids streams are borne On to that everlasting home, Whence not one soul can e'er return. 4 Yet while the shore on either side Presents a gaudy, flatt'ring shew, They gaze, in fond amazement lost, Nor think to what a world they go. 5 Great Source of Wisdom, teach my heart To know the price of every hour; That time may bear me on to joys Beyond its measure and its power.

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: God of eternity, from thee Lyrics: 1 God of eternity, from thee Did infant-time his being draw; Moments and days, and months and years, Revolve by thy unvaried law. 2 Silent and slow they glide away; Steady and strong the current flows, Lost in eternity’s wide sea, The boundless gulf, from whence it rose. 3 With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapids streams are borne, On to that everlasting home, Whence not one soul can e'er return. 4 Yet while the shore on either side Presents a gaudy flattering show, We gaze, in fond amusement lost, Nor think to what a world they go. 5 Great source of wisdom, teach my heart To know the price of every hour; That time may bear me on to joys Beyond its measure and its power.
