Teach me the Measure of my Days

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P39b (1766) Topics: Mortality of man; Vanity of Man as mortal Lyrics: 1 Teach me the Measure of my Days, Thou Maker of my Frame; I would survey Life's narrow Space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A Span is all that we can boast, An Inch or two of Time; Man is but Vanity and Dust; In all his Flow'r and Prime. 3 See the vain Race of Mortals move Like Shadows o'er the Plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the Noise is vain. 4 Some walk in Honour's gaudy Show, Some dig for golden Ore, They toil for Heirs they know not who, And strait are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then From Creatures, Earth and Dust? They make our Expectations vain, And disappoint our Trust. 6 Now I forbid my carnal Hope, My fond Desires recal; I give my mortal Int'rest up, And make my GOD my All. Scripture: Psalm 39:4-7 Languages: English

Lord, what a feeble Piece

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P90e (1766) Topics: God Eternal and Man mortal; Man his vanity as mortal; Mortality of man Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a feeble Piece Is this our mortal Frame! Our Life, how poor a Trifle 'tis, That scarce deserves the Name. 2 Alas, the brittle Clay That built our Body first! And every Month and every Day 'Tis mould'ring back to Dust. 3 Our Moments fly apace, Nor will our Minutes stay; Just like a Flood, our hasty Days Are sweeping us away. 4 Well, if our Days must fly, We'll keep their End in Sight, We'll spend them all in Wisdom's Way, And let them speed their Flight. 5 They'll waft us sooner o'er This Life's tempestuous Sea: Soon we shall reach the peaceful Shore Of blest Eternity.

What vain desires and passions vain

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #177 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: God eternal, and man mortal; Mortality and God's eternity; Man mortal, and Christ eternal Lyrics: What vain desires and passions vain Attend this mortal clay! Oft have they pierced my soul with pain, And drawn my heart astray. How have I wandered from my God! And, following sin and shame, In this vile world of flesh and blood Defiled my nobler frame! For ever blessed be thy grace That formed my soul anew, And made it of a heav'n-born race, Thy glory to pursue. My spirit holds perpetual war, And wrestles and complains; But views the happy moment near That shall dissolve its chains. Cheerful in death I close my eyes To part with every lust; And charge my flesh, whene'er it rise, To leave them in the dust. My purer spirit shall not fear To put this body on; Its tempting powers no more are there, Its lusts and passions gone! Scripture: Romans 8:1 Languages: English

Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #594 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man his vanity as mortal; Mortality of man; Vanity of man as mortal Lyrics: Lo! the young tribes of Adam rise, And through all nature rove Fulfil the wishes of their eyes, And taste the joys they love.

The Judge prepares his throne on high, The frighted earth and seas Avoid the fury of his eye, And flee before his face. How shall I bear that dreadful day, And stand the fiery test? I give all mortal joys away, To be for ever blessed. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Languages: English

Yet if some proper hour appear, I'll not be overawed, But let the scoffing sinners hear That I can speak for God. Scripture: Psalm 39:1-3 Languages: English

"Be thou my Prophet, thou my Priest; Thy children shall be ever blest; Thou art my chosen King: thy throne Shall stand eternal like my own. "There's none of all my sons above So much my image or my love; Celestial powers thy subjects are: Then what can earth to thee compare? "David, my servant, whom I chose To guard my flock, to crush my foes, And raised him to the Jewish throne, Was but a shadow of my Son." Now let the church rejoice and sing Jesus, her Savior and her King; Angels his heav'nly wonders show, And saints declare his works below. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English
