Shall the vile Race of Flesh and Blood

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXII (1766) Topics: Man mortal and vain Lyrics: 1 Shall the vile Race of Flesh and Blood Contend with their Creator, God? Shall mortal Worms presume to be More Holy, Wise, or Just than He? 2 Behold, he puts his Trust in none Of all the Spirits round his Throne; Their Natures, when compar'd with his, Are neither Holy, Kust, nor Wise. 3 But how much meaner Things are they Who spring from Dust, and dwell in Clay? Touch'd by the Finger of thy Wrath, We faint and vanish like the Moth. 4 From Night to Day, from Day to Night, We die by Thousands in thy Sight; Bury'd in Dust whole Nations lie Like a forgotten Vanity. 5 Almighty Pow'r, to Thee we bow; How frail are we! how glorious Thou! No more the Sons of Earth shall dare With an eternal God compare. Scripture: Job 4:17-21 Languages: English
