Vain Man Thy Fond Pursuits Forbear { Vain Man Thy Fond Pursuits Forbear NAOMI-Hans George Naegeli Vain Man, Thy Fond Pursuits Forbear } Vain man, thy fond pursuits forbear; Repent, thine end is nigh; Death, at the farthest, can't be far; O think before thou die! Chorus We are passing away, We are passing away, We are passing away To the great judgment day. Reflect, thou hast a soul to save; Thy sins, how high they mount! What are thy hopes beyond the grave? How stands that dark account? Death enters, and there's no defence; His time there's none can tell; He'll in a moment call thee hence, To heaven, or down to hell. Thy flesh (perhaps thy greatest care) Shall into dust consume; But, ah! destruction ends not there; Sin kills beyond the tomb.
