A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.


The Psalms of David Imitated (1719) Psalm 90


A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.

A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.

A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.

A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.
