The Worth of Years

Author: John Taylor Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #402 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Like shadows gliding o'er the plain Lyrics: Like shadows gliding o’er the plain, Or clouds that roll successive on, Man’s busy generations pass; And while we gaze, their forms are gone. O Father, in whose mighty hand The boundless years and ages lie, Teach us Thy boon of life to prize, And use the moments as they fly;— To crowd the narrow span of life With wise designs and virtuous deeds; And so shall death but lead us on To nobler service that succeeds.
