Hymnal: Fair as the Morning. Hymns and Tunes for Praise in the Sunday-School #38 (1891) Topics: Time and Eternity First Line: Faintly flow, thou falling river Lyrics: 1 Faintly flow, thou falling river, Like a dream that dies away; Down to ocean gliding ever, Keep thy calm unruffled way; Time, with such a silent motion, Floats along on wings of air To eternity’s dark ocean, Bringing all its treasures there. 2 Roses bloom and then they wither, Cheeks are bright then fades their glow; Shapes of light are wafted hither Then like visions, too, they go; Quick as clouds at evening driven O’er the many colored west, Time is bearing us to heaven, Home of happiness and rest. 3 Life is one pure, shining river Flowing to the crystal sea; We are sailing on it ever To the vast eternity: Swiftly on to home and heaven, With the rushing, heaving tide, Soon we’ll anchor and be given Mansions where the saved abide. Languages: English Tune Title: [Faintly flow, thou falling river]

The Saints happy in being entirely at the Disposal of his God—My Times are in thy Hand

Author: Ryland, junior Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLV (1792) Topics: Time and Eternity First Line: Sovereign ruler of the skies Lyrics: 1 Sovereign ruler of the skies, Ever gracious ever wise! All my times are in thy hand, All events at thy command. 2 His decree, that form'd the earth, Fix'd my first and second birth; Parents, native-place, and time, All appointed were by him. 3 He that form'd me in the womb, He shall guide me to the tomb: All my times shall ever be Order'd by his wise decree. 4 Times of sickness, times of health; Times of penury and wealth: Times of trial and of grief; Times of triumph and relief. 5 Times the tempter's power to prove; Times to taste a Savior's love: All must come and last and end, As shall please my heavenly friend. 6 Plagues and deaths around me fly; Till he bids, I cannot die: Not a single shaft can hit, Till the God of love sees fit. 7 O thou gracious, wise and just, In thy hands my life I trust; Have I somewhat dearer still? I resign it to thy will. 8 May I always own thy hand— Still to thee surrender stand: Know that thou art God alone, I and mine are all thy own. 9 Thee at all times will I bless; Having thee, I all possess: How can I bereaved be, Since I cannot part with thee. Scripture: Psalm 31:15 Languages: English

At Every Motion of Our Breath

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #567 (1972) Topics: Warning Message Time and Eternity First Line: At ev'ry motion of our breath Lyrics: 1 At ev'ry motion of our breath, Life trembles on the brink of death; A taper's flame that upward turns, While downward to the dust it burns. 2 Moment by moment years are past, And one ere long will be our last, There is a point no eyes can see, Yet on it hangs eternity. 3 This is that moment—who shall tell Whether it leads to heav'n or hell? This is that moment—as we choose, Th'immortal soul we save or lose. 4 Time past and time to come are not— Time present is our only lot; O God! henceforth our hearts incline To seek no other love than thine.

Eternity! eternity! How long art thou, eternity!

Author: Coxe Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #914 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Time and Eternity Lyrics: 1 Eternity! eternity! How long art thou, eternity! Yet onward still to thee we speed, As to the fight th' impatient steed. 2 As ship to port, or shaft from bow, Or swift as couriers homeward go; Mark well, O man, eternity! Eternity! eternity! 3 Eternity! eternity! How long art thou, eternity! As in a ball's concentric round No starting-point nor end is found; 4 So thou, eternity, so vast, No entrance and no exit hast; Mark well, O man, eternity! Eternity! eternity!

O God! our help in ages past

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #902 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Time and Eternity Lyrics: 1 O God! our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home! 2 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same. 3 A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone-- Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 5 O God! our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guide while troubles last, And our eternal home. Scripture: Job 20:8

Swift as the arrow cuts its way

Author: Clark Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #906 (1873) Topics: Time and Eternity Lyrics: 1 Swift as the arrow cuts its way Through the soft yielding air, Or as the sun's more subtle ray, Or lightning's sudden glare: Or as an eagle to the prey, Or shuttle through the loom, So haste our fleeting lives away, So pass we to the tomb. 2 Like airy bubbles, lo! we rise, And dance upon life's stream; Till soon the air that caused, destroys Th' attenuated frame. Down the swift stream we glide apace, And carry death within; Then break, and scarcely leave a trace To show that we have been. 3 The man, the wisest of our kind, Who length of days had seen, To birth and death a time assigned, But none to life between; Yet, oh, what consequences close This transient state below! Eternal joys, or, losing those, Interminable woe!

Thee We Adore, Eternal Name

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #566 (1972) Topics: Warning Message Time and Eternity 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 months and days increase, And ev'ry beating pulse we tell, Leaves but the number less. 3 Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 4 Infinite joy, or wretched woe, Attends on ev'ry breath; And yet how unconcerned we go, Upon the brink of death! 5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dang'rous road; And if our souls are hurried hence, May they be found with God. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:24 Languages: English Tune Title: LIBERTY HALL

The Shortness of Time and Frailty of Man

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Time and Eternity First Line: Almighty maker of my frame Lyrics: 1 Almighty maker of my frame, Teach me the measure of my days! Teach me to know how frail I am, And spend the remnant to thy praise. 2 My days are shorter than a span, A little point my life appears; How frail at best is dying man! How vain are all his hopes and fears. 3 Vain his ambition, noise, and show! Vain are the cares which rack his mind! He heaps up treasures mix'd with woe; And dies and leaves them all behind. 4 O be a nobler portion mine; My God, I bow before thy throne, Earth's fleeting treasures I resign, And fix my hope on thee alone.
