Thee we adore, Eternal Name

Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #539 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name, And humbly own to Thee, How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we! 2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As days and months increase; And every beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave: Whate'er we do, where'er we be, We're travelling to the grave. 4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road; And if our souls are hurried hence May they be found with God.
