Man Frail, and God Eternal

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #159 (1740) Topics: Frailty of Man First Line: Our GOD, our Help in Ages past Lyrics: 1 Our GOD, our Help in Ages past, Our Hope for Years to come, Our Shelter from the stormy Blast, And our Eternal Home. 2 Under the Shadow of thy Throne Thy Saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine Arm alone, And our Defence is sure. 3 Before the Hills in Order stood, Or Earth receiv'd her Frame, From Everlasting thou art GOD, To endless Years the same. 4 Thy Word commands our Flesh to Dust, Return, ye Sons of Men: All Nations rose from Earth at first, And turn to Earth again. 5 A thousand Ages, in thy Sight Are like an Ev'ning gone; Short as the Watch that ends the Night Before the rising Sun. 6 [The busy Tribes of Flesh and Blood, With all their Lives and Cares, Are carried downwards by the Flood, And lost in following Years. 7 Time, like an ever-rolling Stream, Bears all its Sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a Dream Dies at the op'ning Day. 8 Like flow'ry Fields the Nations stand Pleas'd with the Morning-Light; The Flow'rs beneath the Mower's Hand Lie with'ring e'er 'tis Night.] 9 Our GOD, our Help in Ages past, Our Hope for Years to come, Be thou our Guard while Troubles last, And our Eternal Home. Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Languages: English

Infimities and Mortality the Effect of Sin; or, Life, Old Age, and Preparation for Death

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #160a (1740) Topics: Frailty of Man First Line: Lord, if thine Eyes survey our Faults Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thine Eyes surveys our Faults, And Justice grows severe, Thy dreadful Wrath exceeds our Thoughts, And burns beyond our Fear. 2 Thine Anger turns our Frame to Dust, By one Offence to Thee Adam, with all his Sons, have lost Their Immortality. 3 Life, like a vain Amusement, flies, A Fable or a Song; By swift Degrees our Nature dies, Nor can our Joys be long. 4 'Tis but a few whose Days amount To threescore Years and ten; And all beyond that short Account Is Sorrow, Toil and Pain. 5 [Our Vitals with laborious Strife Bear up the crazy Load, And drag those poor Remains of Life Along the tiresome Road.] 6 Almighty GOD, reveal thy Love, And not thy Wrath alone; Oh! let our sweet Experience prove The Mercies of thy Throne. 7 Our Souls would learn the heav'nly Art T' improve the Hours we have, That we may act the wiser Part, And live beyond the Grave. Scripture: Psalm 90:8-12 Languages: English
