1. Days and moments quickly flying
<poem>
blend the living with the dead:
1. Days and moments quickly flying  
Soon our bodies will be lying
  blend the living with the dead:
Each within its narrow bed.
  Soon our bodies will be lying
  Each within its narrow bed.


2. Jesus, infinite Redeemer,
2. Jesus, infinite Redeemer,
  Maker of this mighty frame,
Maker of this mighty frame,
  Teach, O teach us to remember
Teach, O teach us to remember
  What we are, and whence we came.
What we are, and whence we came.


3. As a shadow life is fleeting,
3. As a shadow life is fleeting,
  As a vapour, so it flies,
As a vapour, so it flies,
  For the bygone years retreating,
For the bygone years retreating,
  Pardon grant, and make us wise,
Pardon grant, and make us wise,


4. Wise that we our days may number,
4. Wise that we our days may number,
  Strive and wrestle with our sin,
Strive and wrestle with our sin,
  Stay not in our work, nor slumber,
Stay not in our work, nor slumber,
  Till Thy holy rest we win.
Till Thy holy rest we win.


5. Jesus, merciful Redeemer,
5. Jesus, merciful Redeemer,
  Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice;
Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice;
  Wake, O wake each idle dreamer
Wake, O wake each idle dreamer
  Now to make th'eternal choice.
Now to make th'eternal choice.


6. Soon before the Judge all glorious
6. Soon before the Judge all glorious
  We with all the dead shall stand;
We with all the dead shall stand;
  Saviour, over death victorious,
Saviour, over death victorious,
  Place us then at Thy right hand.
Place us then at Thy right hand.
</Poem>
