2 Our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is | none a- | biding; || We are but of yesterday; there is but a step between | us and death;

3 Man's days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he | flourisheth; || He appeareth for a little time, then | van-ish- eth a- | way.

4 Watch! for ye know not what hour your Lord doth | come; || Be ye also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not, the | Son of Man- cometh.

..

5 It is the Lord; let him do what | seemeth him | good; || The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away, and | blessed be the name of the Lord. 6 Blessed are the dead, who die in the | Lord from | henceforth; || Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.

The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed, at countless cost,
From dark despair.

3 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring,

With one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,

For Christ our Lord.

4 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring,
With joyful song;

The new-born souls, whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.

PRAISE God, from whom all blessings YE angels round the throne,

Where there are works to make him As through countless ages past,
