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
