Sweet is the work, my God, my King
Appears in 782 hymnals Used With Tune: HINGHAM
Sweet is the work, my God, my King
Life Is the Time to Serve the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 351 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time to ensure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
2. Life is the hour that God has given
To ’scape from hell and fly to Heav’n;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3. The living know that they must die,
But all the dead forgotten lie;
Their memory and their sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
4. Their hatred and their love is lost,
Their envy is buried in the dust;
They have no share in all that’s done
Beneath the circuit of the sun.
5. Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue;
Since no device nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.
6. There are no acts of pardon passed
In the cold grave, to which we haste;
But darkness, death, and long despair,
Reign in eternal silence there. Used With Tune: HINGHAM Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707, Book I, number 88
