The frailty and shortness of life

Hymnal: Select Psalms and Hymns for the use of Mr. Adgate's pupils #XXIX (1787) Hymnal Title: Select Psalms and Hymns for the use of Mr. Adgate's pupils First Line: Lord, what a feeble piece Lyrics: I Lord, what a feeble piece Is this our mortal frame? Our life how poor a trifle 'tis, That scarce deserves the name! II Alas, the brittle clay That built our body first! And ev'ry month, and ev'ry day, 'Tis mould'ring back to dust. III Our moments fly apace, Nor will our minutes stay; Just like a flood our hasty days Are sweeping us away. IV Well, if our days must fly, We'll keep their end in sight, We'll spend them all in wisdom's way, And let them speed their flight. V They'll waft us sooner o'er This life's tempestuous sea; Soon we shall reach the peaceful shore Of blest eternity. Languages: English
