The Frailty of Life

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Prayer Complaint in First Line: With firm resolve I held my peace Lyrics: 1 With firm resolve I held my peace And spake not either bad or good, Lest I should utter sinful thoughts While wicked men before me stood. 2 While I was dumb my grief was stirred, My heart grew hot with thought suppressed; The while I mused the fire increased, Then to the Lord I made request. 3 Make me, O Lord, to know my end, Teach me the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am And turn from pride and sinful ways. 4 My time is nothing in Thy sight, Behold, my days are but a span; yea, truly at his best estate, A breath, a fleeting breath, is man. 5 Man's life is passed in vain desire If troubled years be spent for gain; He knows not whose his wealth shall be, And all his toil is but in vain. 6 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? I have no nope except in Thee; Let not ungodly men reproach, From all transgression set me free. 7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb, I spoke no word of rash complaint; Remove Thy stroke away from me, Beneath Thy chastisement I faint. 8 When Thou for his iniquity Rebukest and correctest man, His beauty is consumed away, How weak his strength, how vain his plan. 9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry, I weep, be Thou my comforter; I am a stranger here below, A pilgrim as my fathers were. 10 O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath, Deal gently with me, I implore, That I may yet recover strength Ere I go hence and be no more. Scripture: Psalm 39 Used With Tune: BERA

In spirit when I took my flight

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Complaint Lyrics: In spirit when I took my flight Above the mount, to see My Lord, transfigured in the light Of His own Deity:-- I cried, not knowing what I said, "'Tis good to tarry here!" But, when the heavenly vision fled, Transport gave way to fear. 184 No longer counting all things loss, To glory in His name, I thought it hard to bear the cross, Hard to despise the shame. Ah! thus, my soul, it should not be; Lord Jesus! hear my prayer; Give me a heart to follow Thee All times, and every where. Let but Thy presence with me go, Thy love be my delight, Then shall I walk, through weal or woe, By faith, and not by sight.

All mortal vanities, begone

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Complaint desertion; Complaint of temptation Lyrics: All mortal vanities, begone, Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears; Behold, amidst th' eternal throne, A vision of the Lamb appears. [Glory his fleecy robe adorns, Marked with the bloody death he bore; Seven are his eyes, and seven his horns, To speak his wisdom and his power. Lo! he receives a sealed book From him that sits upon the throne; Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look On dark decrees and things unknown.] All the assembling saints around Fall worshipping before the Lamb, And in new songs of gospel sound Address their honors to his name. [The Joy, the shout, the harmony, Flies o'er the everlasting hills "Worthy art thou alone," they cry, To read the book, to loose the seals."] Our voices join the heav'nly strain, And with transporting pleasure sing, "Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, To be our Teacher and our King!" His words of prophecy reveal Eternal counsels, deep designs; His grace and vengeance shall fulfil The peaceful and the dreadful lines. Thou hast redeemed our souls from hell With thine invaluable blood; And wretches that did once rebel Are now made fav'rites of their God. Worthy for ever is the Lord, That died for treasons not his own, By every tongue to be adored, And dwell upon his Father's throne! Scripture: Revelation 5:6-9

Bless'd be the everlasting God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Complaint desertion; Complaint of temptation Lyrics: Blest be the everlasting God, The Father of our Lord; Be his abounding mercy praised, His majesty adored. When from the dead he raised his Son, And called him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope That they should never die. What though our inbred sins require Our flesh to see the dust, Yet as the Lord our Savior rose, So all his followers must. There's an inheritance divine Reserved against that day; 'Tis uncorrupted, undefiled, And cannot waste away. Saints by the power of God are kept Till the salvation come; We walk by faith as strangers here, Till Christ shall call us home. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-5

Remembrance of Church Priveleges

Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Afflictions Complaint of First Line: By Babel's riverside we sat in tears Lyrics: 1 By Babel's riverside we sat in tears, Rememb'ring Zion's pride in former years, While on the weeping willows there were hung The harps our grief had silenced and unstrung. 2 For they who led us there a captive throng Required that we prepare for them a song; Yea, there our captives asked for mirth and praise, Required a song of Zion's happy days. 3 O how shall we thus sing at their command Songs of the Lord, our King, in this strange land? O Zion, if I e'er forget thy woe, Let my right hand its skill no longer know. 4 Yea, let my tongue, i pray, all silent be, If I do not alway remember thee; If I prefer not thee, thought in thy grief, Above all other joys my very chief. Scripture: Psalm 137 Used With Tune: BENEDICTION
