Days and moments quickly flying

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying Speed us onward to the dead; Oh, how soon shall we be lying Each within his narrow bed! 2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, oh, wake each idle dreamer Now to make the eternal choice! 3 Mark me whither we are wending; Ponder how we soon must go To inherit bliss unending, Or eternity of woe. 4 As a shadow life is fleeting; As a vapor so it flies: For the bygone years retreating, Pardon grant, and make us wise; 5 Wise that we our days may number, Strive and wrestle with our sin; Stay not in our work, nor slumber Till Thy holy rest we win. Used With Tune: LONGING FOR HEAVEN

The Cry of the Mortal

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Danger of Delay First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish, Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye; All our days are passed in anguish, In Thy wrath we pine and id. Threescore years and ten we tarry, Fourscore years the strong may stay, Long the load of grief to carry, Till at last we fly away. 4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure, Who can fear Thee as he ought? Teach us now our days to measure And to wisdom turn our thought. Lord, return, regard our sadness; with Thy servants now abide; Fill our days with joy and gladness, With Thy mercy satisfied. 5 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ARMSTRONG

Beyond which, God Himself hath sworn, That he who goes is lost. 4 How far may we go on in sin? How long will God forbear? Where does hope end, and where begin The confines of despair? 5 An answer from the skies is sent: "Ye that from God depart, While it is called to-day, repent And harden not your heart."
