Sick bed devotion | C |
- | |
God of my life look gently down | D |
Behold the pains I feel | E |
But I am dumb before thy throne | F |
Nor dare dispute thy will | G |
- | |
Diseases are thy servants Lord | H |
They come at thy command | I |
I'll not attempt a murm'ring word | J |
Against thy chast'ning hand | I |
- | |
Yet I may plead with humble cries | K |
Remove thy sharp rebukes | L |
My strength consumes my spirit dies | K |
Through thy repeated strokes | M |
- | |
Crushed as a moth beneath thy hand | I |
We moulder to the dust | N |
Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand | I |
And all our beauty's lost | O |
- | |
This mortal life decays apace | P |
How soon the bubble's broke | Q |
Adam and all his num'rous race | P |
Are vanity and smoke | Q |
- | |
I'm but a sojourner below | R |
As all my fathers were | S |
May I be well prepared to go | R |
When I the summons hear | T |
- | |
But if my life be spared awhile | U |
Before my last remove | V |
Thy praise shall be my business still | G |
And I'll declare thy love | W |
