My God! permit me not to be

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 345 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee; Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Father, go? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy gracious word can draw me thence; I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign. 4 Be earth, with all her cares, withdrawn; Let noise and vanity be gone; In secret silence of the mind, My heaven, and there my God, I find.

How short and hasty is our life!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life! How vast our souls' affairs! Yet senseless mortals vainly strive To lavish out their years. 2 Our days run thoughtlessly along, Without a moment's stay; Just like a story, or a song We pass our lives away. 3 God from on high invites us home, But we march heedless on, And ever hast'ning to the tomb, Stoop downwards as we run. 4 How we deserve the deepest hell, That slight the joys above! What chains of vengeance should we feel, That break such cords of love! 5 Draw us, O Saviour, with Thy grace, And lift our thoughts on high, That we may end this mortal race, And see salvation nigh.
