Who shall praise Thee in the grave? 3 Pity, Lord, my sad condition; I am weary and distressed; Many adversaries vex me, Weeping, I can find no rest. 4 Now the foes that seek to harm me, Quickly put to shame, shall flee, For the Lord hath heard my weeping, And He will regard my plea.

Why should this earth delight us so?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Hope in darkness; Patience in darkness Lyrics: Why should this earth delight us so? Why should we fix our eyes On these low grounds where sorrows grow, And every pleasure dies ? While time his sharpest teeth prepares Our comforts to devour, There is a land above the stars, And joys above his power. Nature shall be dissolved and die, The sun must end his race, The earth and sea for ever fly Before my Savior's face. When will that glorious morning rise? When the last trumpet sound, And call the nations to the skies, From underneath the ground? Scripture: Psalm 77
