Thee We Adore, Eternal Name

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Appears in 374 hymnals Topics: Warning Message Frailty, Uncertainty of Life Lyrics: 1 Thee, we adore, eternal name, And humbly own to thee, How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we! 2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As months and days increase, And ev'ry beating pulse we tell, Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave; Whate'er we do, whate'er we be, We're trav'ling to the grave. 4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Infinite joy, or wretched woe, Attends on ev'ry breath; And yet how unconcerned we go, Upon the brink of death! 6 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dang'rous road; And if our souls are hurried hence, May they be found with God. Scripture: Psalm 39:4 Used With Tune: NEWCASTLE

The Faithfulness of God

Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: Frailty of Man; Frailty of Man First Line: My never-ceasing song shall show Lyrics: 1 My never-ceasing song shall show The mercies of the Lord; And make succeeding ages know How faithful is his word. 2 The sacred truths his lips pronounce Shall firm as heaven endure; And if he speak a promise once, Th' eternal grace is sure. 3 How long the race of David held! The promis'd Jewish throne But there's a nobler covenant seal'd To David's greater son. 4 His seed forever shall possess A throne above the skies; The meanest subject of his grace Shall to that glory rise. 5 Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways Are sung by saints above; And saints on earth their honours rase To thy unchanging love. Scripture: Psalm 89

Mortality and Hope: A Funeral Psalm

Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Frailty of Man; Frailty of Man First Line: Remember Lord, our mortal state Lyrics: 1 Remember Lord, our mortal state, How frail our life, how short the date! Where is the man that draws his breath Safe from disease, secure from death. 2 Lord, while we see whole nations die, Our flesh and sense repine and cry, "Must death for ever rage and reign! "Or hast thou made mankind in vain." 3 Where is thy promise to the just? Are not thy servants turn'd to dust? But faith forbids these mournful sighs, And sees the sleeping dust arise. 4 That glorious hour, that dreadful day Wipes the reproach of saints away, And clears the honour of thy word: Awake, our souls, and bless the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52

Think, mighty GOD, on feeble Man

Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Frailty of Man Lyrics: 1 Think, mighty GOD, on feeble Man; How few his Hours! how short his Span! Short from the Cradle to the Grave: Who can secure his vital Breath Against the bold Demands of Death, With Skill to fly, or Pow'r to save? 2 Lord, shall it be for ever said, "The Race of Man was only made "For Sickness, Sorrow, and the Dust!" Are not thy Servants, Day by Day, Sent to their Graves, and turn'd to Clay? Lord, where's thy Kindness to the Just? 3 Has thou not promis'd to thy Son And all his Seed a heav'nly Crown? But Flesh and Sense indulge Despair; For ever blessed be the Lord, That Faith can read his holy Word, And find a Resurrection there. 4 For ever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his Saints a long Reward For all their Toil, Reproach and Pain; Let all below, and all above, Join to proclaim thy wond'rous Love, And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52
