¶Lyrics / Text

1. Days and moments quickly flying blend the living with the dead: Soon our bodies will be lying Each within its narrow bed. 2. Jesus, infinite Redeemer, Maker of this mighty frame, Teach, O teach us to remember What we are, and whence we came. 3. As a shadow life is fleeting, As a vapour, so it flies, For the bygone years retreating, Pardon grant, and make us wise, 4. 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. 5. Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, O wake each idle dreamer Now to make th'eternal choice. 6. Soon before the Judge all glorious We with all the dead shall stand; Saviour, over death victorious, Place us then at Thy right hand.
