Даниэл Рид - Human Frailty - ноты, текст песни (слова)

Thee we adore, Eternal Name,
 And humbly own to thee
 How feeble is our mortal frame!
 What dying worms are we!
 
 Our wasting lives grow shorter still
 As months and days increase;
 And every beating pulse we tell
 Leaves but the number less.
 
 The year rolls round, and steals away
 The breath that first it gave;
 Whatever we do, wherever we be,
 We're traveling to the grave.
 
 Dangers stand thick through all the ground
 To push us to the tomb,
 And fierce diseases wait around,
 To hurry mortals home.
 
 Great God! on what a slender thread
 Hang everlasting things!
 Th' eternal states of all the dead
 Upon life's feeble strings.
 
 Infinite joy or endless woe
 Attends on every breath,
 And yet how unconcerned we go
 Upon the brink of death!
 
 Waken, O Lord! our drowsy sense,
 To walk this dangerous road;
 And if our souls be hurried hence,
 May they be found with God.
