Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXLIV (1791) Hymnal Title: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns First Line: Remember, Lord, our mortal State Lyrics: 1 Remember, Lord, our mortal State,
How frail our Life! how short the Date!
Were is the Man that draws his Breath
Safe from Disease, secure from Death'?
2 LORD while we see whole Nations die,
Our Flesh and Sense repine and cry;
"Must Death for ever rage and reign?
"Or hast thou made Mankind in vain?
3 "Where is thy Promise to the Just;
"Are not thy Servants turn'd to Dust?"
But Faith forbids these mournfull Sighs,
And sees the sleeping Dust arise.
4 That glorious Hour, that dreadful Day,
Wipes the Reproach of Saints away,
And clears the Honours of thy Word:
Awake, our Souls! and bless the LORD. Topics: Frailty of Our Life Scripture: Psalm 89:47-49 Languages: English
