Lord, You Have Been Our Dwelling Place
The Brevity of Human Life
Hymnal: The Psalter #105 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Life Brevity and Uncertainty of First Line: I constant care will take Lyrics: 1 I constant care will take,
Lest sinful words they hear;
My lips their silence shall not break
While wicked men are near.
2 I dumb and silent stood,
No words of mine were heard;
I e'en refrained from speaking good,
Till sorrow's deeps were stirred.
3 My heart was all on fire,
With burning tho'ts suppressed;
My tongue was loosed, my soul's desire
I then to God addressed.
4 My end, Lord, make me know,
My days, how soon they fall;
And to my thoughtful spirit show
How weak I am and frail.
5 To Thy eternal thought
My days are but a span;
To Thee my years appear as nought,
A breath at best is man.
6 Man lives in empty show,
His anxious care is vain,
He hoards his wealth, and does not know
Who shall possess his gain.
Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: AYLESBURY
The Brevity of Human Life
The Lord Our Dwelling-Place
Hymnal: The Psalter #245 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life Brevity and Uncertainty of First Line: Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place
Through all the ages of our race;
Before the mountains had their birth,
Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To everlasting our abode.
2 At Thy command man fades and dies
And new-born generations rise;
A thousand years are passed away,
And all to Thee are but a day;
Yea, like the watches of the night,
With Thee the ages wing their flight.
3 Man soon yields up his fleeting breath
Before this swelling tide of death;
Like transient sleep his seasons pass,
His life is like the tender grass,
Luxuriant 'neath the morning sun,
And withered ere the day is done.
4 Man in Thy anger is consumed,
and unto grief and sorrow doomed;
Before Thy clear and searching sight
Our secret sins are brought to light;
Beneath Thy wrath we pine and die,
Our life expiring like a sigh.
5 For threescore years and ten we wait,
Or fourscore years if strength be great;
But grief and toil attend life's day,
And soon our spirits fly away;
O who with true and rev'rent though
Can fear Thy anger as he ought?
Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
The Lord Our Dwelling-Place
Abide with Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #442 (1987) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Lord who changes not, abide with me.
3 I need your presence every passing hour.
What but your grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like yourself my guide and strength can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with you at hand to bless,
though ills have weight, and tears their bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, your victory?
I triumph still, if you abide with me.
5 Hold now your Word before my closing eyes.
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Scripture: Psalm 102:26-27 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Author: Walter Chambers Smith Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #460 (1987) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
in light inaccessible hid from our eyes,
most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
almighty, victorious, your great name we praise.
2 Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
nor wanting nor wasting, you rule day and night;
your justice like mountains high soaring above,
your clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3 Life-giving Creator of both great and small,
of all life the maker, the true life of all;
we blossom, then wither like leaves on the tree,
but you are forever, who was and will be.
4 We worship before you, great Father of light,
while angels adore you, all veiling their sight;
our praises we render, O Father, to you,
whom only the splendor of light hides from view.
Scripture: Psalm 65 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DENIO

Frailty of life
While with Ceaseless Course the Sun
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #53 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Life Brevity of Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun
Hasted through the former year,
Many souls their race have run,
Nevermore to meet us here;
Fixed in an eternal state,
They have done with all below;
We a little longer wait,
But how little, none can know.
2 As the wingèd arrow flies
Speedily, the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind;
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream:
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise;
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive,
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view.
Bless Thy Word to young and old,
Fill us with a Saviour's love;
And when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with Thee above.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WELLS
