Infimities and Mortality the Effect of Sin; or, Life, Old Age, and Preparation for Death

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #160a (1740) Topics: Death the effect of sin First Line: Lord, if thine Eyes survey our Faults Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thine Eyes surveys our Faults, And Justice grows severe, Thy dreadful Wrath exceeds our Thoughts, And burns beyond our Fear. 2 Thine Anger turns our Frame to Dust, By one Offence to Thee Adam, with all his Sons, have lost Their Immortality. 3 Life, like a vain Amusement, flies, A Fable or a Song; By swift Degrees our Nature dies, Nor can our Joys be long. 4 'Tis but a few whose Days amount To threescore Years and ten; And all beyond that short Account Is Sorrow, Toil and Pain. 5 [Our Vitals with laborious Strife Bear up the crazy Load, And drag those poor Remains of Life Along the tiresome Road.] 6 Almighty GOD, reveal thy Love, And not thy Wrath alone; Oh! let our sweet Experience prove The Mercies of thy Throne. 7 Our Souls would learn the heav'nly Art T' improve the Hours we have, That we may act the wiser Part, And live beyond the Grave.

Author: Ernst C. Homburg; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #162 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Lyrics: 1 Christ, the life of all the living, Christ, the death of death, our foe; who Thyself for me once giving to the darkest depths of woe, patiently didst yield Thy breath but to save my soul from death; praise and glory ever be, blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, O Christ, hast taken on Thee bitter strokes, a cruel rod; pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, 0 Thou sinless Son of God; only thus for me to win, rescue from the bonds of sin; praise and glory ever be, blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only that it might not fall on me; stoodest falsely charged and lonely that I might be safe and free; comfortless that I might know comfort from Thy boundless woe; praise and glory ever be, blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, for the sorrows deep and sore, for The anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore, thank Thee with my latest breath for Thy sad and cruel death, for that last and bitter cry, praise Thee evermore on high.

We fear the power that strikes us dead.] 8 Teach us, O Lord, how frail is man; And kindly lengthen out our span, 'Till a wise care of piety Fit us to die, and dwell with thee.

Ye Christians, pluck your courage up

Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #192 (1732) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: I. Ye Christians, pluck your Courage up; Shake off your Souls' Oppression! If you'd avoid the gen'ral Cup Of God's own Visitation. Let us confess his Judgments just, And ADAM'S Sons but transient Dust; From Death none is exempted. II. Lord, we resign into thy Hands Our Body, Soul and Spirit: We come and go at thy Commands; Death is our real Merit. Whilst dwelling in this sinful Clay, Pain will attend us ev'ry Way; But Joy we hope hereafter. III. No Corn can yield the proper Fruit, Except 'tis sown and bury'd; Our Flesh must moulder to the Root, Before it can be carry'd To that unutterable Bliss, Where CHRIST, our blest Redeemer, is Prepar'd to meet his Lovers. IV. Why shou'd we dread the Thoughts of Death In daily Convesation, Being convin'd, by ev'ry Breath, Of our inconstant Station? Had we the good old SIMEON'S Sense, We'd joy with him to go from hence In th'Arms of our Redeemer. V. Our Breath infirm on God depends; From him's our Preservation; 'Tis he that Guardian-Angels sends To further our Salvation: And, as a Hen protects her Brood From Birds of prey, that seek their Blood, So doth the Lord his Children. VI. 'Wake or asleep, in Life or Death, We are in god's Possession: Baptiz'd in CHRIST, we're brought by Faith, T'approach God's Habitation: What we have lost in ADAM'S Fall, CHRIST has recover'd for us all; Prais'd be the Lord of Mercy.
