Thee we adore, Eternal Name

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 371 hymnals Matching Instances: 366 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.

Hymn 55

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.55 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thee we adore, Eternal Name Lyrics: Thee we adore, Eternal Name, And humbly own to thee How feeble is our mortal frame! What dying worms are we! [Our wasting lives grow shorter still As months and days increase; And every beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave; Whate'er we do, where'er we be, We're trav'lling to the grave.] Dangers stand thick through all the ground To push us to the tomb, And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. Great God! on what a slender thread Hang everlasting things! Th' eternal states of all the dead Upon life's feeble strings. Infinite joy or endless woe Attends on every breath, And yet how unconcerned we go Upon the brink of death! Waken, O Lord! our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road; And if our souls be hurried hence, May they be found with God. Languages: English

And humbly own to thee, How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we! [Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As months and days increase; And ev'ry beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round and steals away The breath that first it gave; What'er we do, where'er we be, We're travelling to the grave.] 4 Dangers stand thick thro' all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Good God! on what a slender thread Hang everlasting things! Th' eternal states of all the dead, Upon life's feeble strings. 6 Infinite joy or endless woe Attends on ev'ry breath, And yet how unconcern'd we go Upon the brink of death! 7 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dang'rous road; And if our souls are hurry'd hence, May they be found with God.
