Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #539 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Church Book 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. Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER
Thee we adore, Eternal Name
