We Are Passing Away

We Are Passing Away
2124

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
To the great judgment day

Reflect, thou hast a soul to save:
Thy sins, how high they mount!
What are thy hopes beyond the grave?
How stands that dark account?

Death enters, and there’s no defense)
His time there’s none can tell;
He’ll in a moment call thee
To heaven, or down to heli

Thy flesh (perhaps thy greatest care)
Shall Into dust consume;
But, ah! destruction ends not thero;
Sin killa beyond the tomb
