Author: J. Hart Hymnal: Hymns of the Kingdom #132 (1905) First Line: Vain man, thy fond pursuits forbear Lyrics: 1 Vain man thy fond pursuits forbear;
Repent, thine end is nigh;
Death at the farthest, can't be far;
O think before thou die.
Refrain:
We are passing away,
We are passing away,
We are passing away,
To the great judgment day.
2 Reflect, thou hast a soul to save;
Thy sins, how high they mount!
What are thy hopes beyond thy grave?
How stands that dark account? [Refrain]
3 Death enters, and there's no defense,
His time there's none can tell;
He'll in a moment call thee hence,
To heaven or down to hell. [Refrain]
4 Thy flesh (perhaps thy greatest care)
Shall into dust consume;
But, ah! Destruction ends not there,
Sin kills beyond the tomb. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Vain man, thy fond pursuits forbear]
