My soul, the minutes haste away

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #233 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My soul, the minutes haste away, Apace comes on th'important day, When in the icy arms of death I must give up my vital breath. 2 Look forward to the moving scene; How wilt thou be affected then? When from on high some sharp disease Resistless shall my vitals seize. 3 when all the springs of life are low, The spirits faint, the pulses slow; The eyes grow dim and short the breath, Presages of approaching death. 4 When clammy sweats thro' ev'ry part, Show life's retreating to the heart; Its last resistance there to make, And then the breathless frame forsake. 5 When all eternity's in sight; The brightest day, or blackest night; One shock will break the building down, And let thee into worlds unknown. 6 O come, my soul, the matter weigh! How wilt thou leave thy kindred clay! And how the unknown regions try, And launch into eternity! Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment; Sickness and death
