Hymn 761 – THE flow'rs that beautified the field | C&S English Hymnary

1. THE flow'rs that beautified the field That looked tender and fresh When touched by sickle, it will die It falls and withers off. 2. This example is fit for us According to God's word Let young and old take heed and know That they are but like grass. 3. Put not your trust on fleeting breath Call not your times your own Around, we see sickle of death Cut down thousands of souls. 4. Those who are spared until this day Soon, life will also end Prepare, be wise before the time The death angel will come. 5. The grass, when dead, will wake no more Die, thou, that thou may live What, if death were the door that leads To everlasting pain. 6. O Lord, help us answer Thy call Let us depart from sin And when we fall down like the grass Let our souls come to Thee AMEN
