Hymn LIII. [Proper to be sung when Death is in the Family, or in the Family of any Neighbour or Relation.]
Psal. 102.11. —103.16. THE days wherein my Life doth pass Are like the Evening shade; And I am like the withering Grass Which suddenly doth fade: For it is gone and quickly too, When some bleak Wind goes o'er, And then the place whereon it grew Shall never know it more.
Psal. 102.11. —103.16. THE days wherein my Life doth pass Are like the Ev'ning shade; And I am like the with'ring Grass Which suddenly doth fade: For it is gone and quickly too, When some bleak Wind goes o're, And then the place whereon it grew Shall never know it more.
—39.4, 5, 6. Lord, make me understand my End And Days uncertain Date, That I may clearly apprehend The frailty of my State. Behold thou hast my days reduced Unto a narrow span; Mine Age to thine as nothing is, Vain at the best is Man. The Worldling walks in a vain show, Vexeth and toils in vain; He heaps up Wealth, but doth not know To whom it will remain.
