The Wisdom of Redeeming Time

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLIV (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Time and Eternity First Line: God of eternity, from thee Lyrics: 1 God of eternity, from thee Did infant-time his being draw; Moments and days, and months and years, Revolve by thy unvaried law. 2 Silent and slow they glide away; Steady and strong the current flows, Lost in eternity’s wide sea, The boundless gulf, from whence it rose. 3 With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapids streams are borne, On to that everlasting home, Whence not one soul can e'er return. 4 Yet while the shore on either side Presents a gaudy flattering show, We gaze, in fond amusement lost, Nor think to what a world they go. 5 Great source of wisdom, teach my heart To know the price of every hour; That time may bear me on to joys Beyond its measure and its power.

Time and Eternity; or, longing after unseen Pleasures

Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXLVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Time and Eternity; Time and Eternity First Line: How long shall earth's alluring toys Lyrics: 1 How long shall earth's alluring toys Detain our hearts and eyes, Regardless of immortal joys, And strangers to the skies? 2 These transient scenes will soon decay, They fade upon the sight; And quickly will their brightest day Be lost in endless night. 3 Their brightest day, alas, how vain! With conscious sighs we own; While clouds of sorrow, care and pain O'ershade the smiling noon. 4 O could our thoughts and wishes fly, Above these gloomy shades, To those bright worlds beyond the sky Which sorrow ne'er invades. 5 There joys unseen by mortal eyes, Or reason's feeble ray, In ever blooming prospects rise, Unconscious of decay. 6 Lord, send a beam of light divine, To guide our upward aim! With one reviving touch of thine, Our languid hearts inflame. 7 Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing Our ardent wishes rise To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring Immortal in the skies.
