Intemperance punished and pardoned; or, A psalm for the glutton and drunkard
Hymnal: Psalms, carefully suited to the Christian worship in the United States of America #222 (1791) First Line: Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: 1 Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent,
Prepares for his own punishment;
What pains, what loathsome maladies,
From luxury and lust arise!
2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste,
Yet drowns his health to please his taste
Till all his active pow'rs are lost,
And fainting life draws near the dust.
3 The glutton groans, and loathes to eat,
His soul abhors delicious meat;
Nature, with heavy loads oppress'd,
Would yield to death to be releas'd.
4 Then how the frighten'd sinners fly
To God for help with earnest cry;
He hears their groans, prolongs their breath,
And saves them from approaching death.
5 No med'cines could effect the cure
So quick, so easy, or so sure:
The deadly sentence God repeals,
He sends his sov'reign word and heals.
6 O may the sons of men record
The wond'rous goodness of the Lord!
And let their thankful off'ring prove
How they adore their Maker's love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
