The swift declining day

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The swift declining day, How fast its moments fly! While evening's broad and gloomy shade Gains on the western sky. 2 Ye mortals, mark its pace, And use the hours of light; And know, its Maker can command At once death's silent night. 3 Give glory to the Lord, Who rules the whirling sphere; Submissive at his footstool bow, And seek salvation there. 4 Then shall new luster break Through death's impending gloom, And lead you to unchanging light In your celestial home.

Author: Elizabeth Scott Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See how the morning sun Pursues his shining way, And wide proclaims his Maker's praise With every brightening ray. 2 Thus would my rising soul Its heavenly Parent sing, And to its great original The humble tribute bring. 3 Serene I laid me down Beneath his guardian care; I slept, and I awoke, and found My kind Preserver near. 4 My life I would anew Devote, O Lord, to thee; And in thy kingdom I would spend A bright eternity.
