UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE. 1 Like crowded forest trees we stand, 2 Green as the bay-tree, ever green, The gay, the thoughtless, have I seen; 3 Read, ye that run, the awful truth, 4 No present health can health ensure 5 Then let us fly, to Jesus fly, Whose powerful arm can save; COWPER. RESIGNATION. 1 Oh thou whose mercy guides my way, Tho' now it seem severe, Forbid my unbelief to say, There is no mercy here! |
