  1. Teach Me the Measure of My Days From Psalm 39 Author: Issac Watts ST. FLAVIAN CCLI #977558

  2. Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame; I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am.

  3. A span is all that we can boast, An inch or two of time; Man is but vanity and dust In all his flower and prime.

  4. See the vain race of mortals move Like shadows o'er the plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain.

  5. Some walk in honor's gaudy show, Some dig for golden ore; They toil for heirs they know not who, And straight are seen no more.

  6. What should I wish or wait for then From creatures, earth and dust, They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust.

  7. Now I forbid my carnal hope, My fond desires recall! I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all.
