Tune: Trentham
(one tune to \'Breathe on me, breath of God\')
James 4 v.13-18
********
Consider, you who say
We shall do so today
Of this and that, whate\'er we please
What with us all agrees
You say a year you shall
Continue there, do well
And gain and profit true surely
Whate\'er will be, will be
Yet sure you do not know
If any thing be so
Not e\'en tomorrow\'s matters see
You know not what shall be
Your life a vapour is
Thus be assured of this
That it appears a little time
Then is gone from life\'s rhyme
For this you ought to say
\'If the Lord will\', and pray
So shall we live and do His will
Safe in His presence still
But here if you rejoice
In boastings of your choice
\'Tis all evil, good you not do
So \'tis sin unto you
