Brevity of life

Author: Rev. J. H. Martin Hymnal: Light and Life #51 (1881) First Line: Like shadows that fly Lyrics: 1 Like shadows that fly, Like clouds in the sky, Or vapors that vanish away; Our lives disappear, We cease to be here, Death comes and his call we obey. 2 How swiftly we flee, Like ships on the sea, Or eagles that haste to the prey; As stars shoot at night, Our years take their flight, We fall as the leaves that decay. 3 As grass of the field, Our bodies we yield To death who cuts down young and old; A moment is all Our life we can call, 'Tis spent as a tale that is told.
