Mortality 136
Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: Holland Weeks
Meter: C.M. (8,6,8,6)
Stoop down my thoughts that used to rise;
Converse a while with death.
Think how a gasping mortal lies
And pants away his breath.
But Oh the soul that never dies!
At once it leaves the clay!
Ye thoughts pursue it where it flies
And trace its wondrous way.
