From Psalm 39<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lake<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLord, make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.”<\/em>
(Psalm 39:4\u20135)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Behold, O Lord, My Days<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Behold, O Lord, my days are made
A handbreadth as their span.
Before the noon, my flow\u2019r must fade,
The end of ev\u2019ry man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. So teach me Lord, to know my end
And know that I am frail.
To heav\u2019n let all my thoughts ascend
And let not earth prevail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What love of earth can keep me here?
I hope in You alone.
When will You open glory\u2019s gates
And call me to Your throne?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. A stranger in this land am I,
A pilgrim far from rest.
O be not silent to my cry,
My yearning soul\u2019s request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Though I\u2019m exiled from glory\u2019s land,
I dwell with glory\u2019s King.
My God is ever near at hand;
He wakes my voice to sing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
