Hymn/Song Information

The term of life assigned to man Is




The term of life assigned to man
Is transient as a passing shade;
Its longest period is a span,
And in the bud his honours fade.


He walks but in an empty show,
Vexed and disquieted in vain:
To unknown heirs his wealth must flow,
And he to dust return again.


So let us slumber, then, our days,
That we may know how frail we are;
Call to remembrance all our ways,
And for eternity prepare.
