"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.... and let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish Thou the work of our hands upon us" (Psalm 90:12,17). "The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand" (Isaiah 14:24).
Days are numbered, life is fleeting,
Youth and vigor surely flee.
Soon enough we will be meeting
Christ, whom face to face we'll see.
Teach us the surpassing beauty
Seen in Christ, so worthy of
All our heart and soul in duty,
With our undivided love.
Teach us, Lord, to number still
All our days that are at hand.
Hold us in Your perfect will
By Your purpose which shall stand.
Let the beauty of our Lord
Be established in our ways
With the fruit that will afford
Portraits, Lord, of grateful praise.
