Transcript: 1
Waken, oh Lord, our drowsy sense
To walk this dangerous road
And if our souls be hurried hence
May they be found with God
2
How so’er are fresh and fair
This morning beauty shows
‘Tis all cut down and withered white
Before the evening close
3
Thou turnest man, oh Lord, to dust
Of which he first was made
And when thou speak’st the word return
‘Tis instantly obeyed
