DUM VIVIMUS, VIVAMUS by PHILIP DODDRIDGE

First Line: LIVE WHILE YOU LIVE!' THE EPICURE WOULD SAY
Last Line: I LIVE IN PLEASURE WHILE I LIVE TO THEE.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

"LIVE while you live!" the epicure would say,
"And seize the pleasures of the present day!"
"Live while you live!" the sacred Preacher cries,
"And give to God each moment as it flies!"
Lord, in my view let both united be,
I live in pleasure while I live to thee.
