Hymn 5

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Scripture: Job 1:21 First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics: Naked as from the earth we came, And crept to life at first, We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favors borrowed now, To be repaid anon. 'Tis God that lifts our comforts high, Or sinks them in the grave; He gives, and, blessed be his name! He takes but what he gave. Peace, all our angry passions, then; Let each rebellious sigh Be silent at his sovereign will, And every murmur die. If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread; And we'll adore the justice too That strikes our comforts dead.

Man dieth and wasteth away

Author: Morris Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Job 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Man dieth and wasteth away, And where is he?--hark! from the skies I hear a voice answer and say, The spirit of man never dies! His body, which came from the earth, Must mingle again with the sod; His soul, which in heaven had birth, Returns to the bosom of God. 2 No terror has death, or the grave, To those who believe in the Lord-- Who know the Redeemer can save, And lean on the faith of his word: While ashes to ashes, and dust We give unto dust, in our gloom The light of salvation we trust, Which hangs like a lamp in the tomb. 3 O Lord God Almighty, to thee We turn as our solace above; The waters may fail from the sea, But never thy fountains of love: Oh, teach us thy will to obey, And sing with one heart and accord,-- He gave, and he taketh away, And praised be the name of the Lord. Topics: Life and Death; The Grave Disarmed of its Terrors
