Psalm 49

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.111 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death of saints and sinners; Despair and hope in death; Hope and despair in death; Death and pride; Death and the resurrection; Pride and death; Resurrection and death First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics: Why do the proud insult the poor, And boast the large estates they have? How vain are riches to secure Their haughty owners from the grave! They can't redeem one hour from death, With all the wealth in which they trust; Nor give a dying brother breath, When God commands him down to dust. There the dark earth and dismal shade Shall clasp their naked bodies round; That flesh, so delicately fed, Lies cold and moulders in the ground. Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies, Laid in the grave for worms to eat: The saints shall in the morning rise, And find th' oppressor at their feet. His honors perish in the dust, And pomp and beauty, birth and blood: That glorious day exalts the just To full dominion o'er the proud. My Savior shall my life restore, And raise me from my dark abode; My flesh and soul shall part no more, But dwell for ever near my God. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English

Part II Christ's death, resurrection ascension and intercession: 8 Behold the Saviour on the tree, With arms extended wide! From death a sinful world to free, He groan'd, and bled, and dy'd! 9 The sun astonish'd veil'd its face, When the Creator bled; His groans the earth and rocks displace, And wake the sleeping dead. 10 But when th' appointed hour was come, The sleeping Saviour wakes; Behold! he rises from the tomb, And death a captive makes. 11 On the eternal God's right hand The great Redeemer sits; Both heav'n and earth to his command The Father now commits. 12 Our advocate himself he stiles, The sinner's cause he pleads, Through him the Father looks and smiles, While thus he intercedes. 13 Whom once he loves he'll ne'er forget, His counsels guide them still; His grace their weary souls will seat On heav'ns eternal hill. 14 Reviving though! then humble soul, With courage venture on! Though earth and hell against thee roll, In Christ the battle's won. Languages: English

Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #LXIII (1791) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day, To those that have no God, When the Poor Soul is forc'd away To seek her last abode. 2 In vain to Heav'n she lifts her Eyes, But Guilt, a heavy Chain, Still drags her downward from the Skies, To Darkness, Fire and Pain. 3 Awake and mourn, ye Heirs of hell, Let stubborn Sinners fear; You must be driv'n from Earth and dwell A long For Ever there. 4 See how the Pit gapes wide for you, And flashes in your Face; And thou, my Soul, look downwards too, And sing recov'ring Grace, 5 He is a God of Sov'reign Grace That promis'd Heav'n to me; And taught my Thoughts to soar above, Where happy Spirits be. 6 Prepare me, Lord, for thy Right Hand, Then come the joyful Day, Come Death and some celestial Band, To bear my Soul away.

Death cannot make our Souls afraid

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XLIX (1766) Topics: God's Presence in Death Lyrics: 1 Death cannot make our Souls afraid, If God be with us there; We may walk through its darkest Shade, And never yield to fear. 2 I could renounce my All below, If my Creator bid, And run, if I was call'd to go, And die as Moses did. 3 Might I but climb to Pisgah's Top, And view the promis'd Land, My Flesh itself should long to drop, And pray for the Command. 4 Clasp'd in my heav'nly Father's Arms, I would forget my Breath, And lose my Life among the Charms Of so divine a Death.
