Mindful of Our Human Frailty

Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Mindful of our human frailty Is the God in Whom we trust; He whose years are everlasting, He remembers we are dust. 2 Man is like the tender flower, And his days are like the grass, Withered where it lately flourished By the blighting winds that pass. 3 Changeless is Jehovah's mercy Unto those who fear His Name, From eternity abiding To eternity the same. 4 All the faithful to His covenant Shall behold His righteousness; He will be their strength and refuge, And their children's children bless. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: TALMAR

Breathing after Heaven

Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Frailty of Man; Frailty of Man First Line: Return, O God of love, return Lyrics: 1 Return, O God of love, return; Earth is a tiresome place: How long shall we thy children mourn Our absence from thy face? 2 Let heaven succeed our painful years, Let sin and sorrow cease, And in proportion to our tears So make our joys increase. 3 Thy wonders to thy servants show, Make thy own work complete; Then shall our souls thy glory know, And own thy love was great. 4 Then shall we shine before thy throne In all thy beauty, Lord; And the poor service we have done Meet a divine reward.

The Covenant of Grace unchangeable; or, Affliction without Rejection

Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Frailty of Man; Frailty of Man First Line: Yet (saith the Lord) if David's race Lyrics: 1 Yet (saith the Lord) if David's race, The children of my son, Should break my laws, abuse my grace And tempt mine anger down; 2 Their sins I'll visit with the rod, And make their folly smart; But I'll not cease to be their God, Nor from my truth depart. 3 My covenant I will ne'er revoke, But keep my grace in mind; And what eternal love hath spoke, Eternal truth shall bind. 4 Once have I sworn (I need no more) And pledg'd my holiness, To seal the sacred promise sure To David and his race. 5 The sun shall see his offspring rise And spread from sea to sea, Long as he travels round the skies To give the nations day. 5 Sure as the moon that rules the night His kingdom shall endure, Till the fix'd laws of shade and light Shall be observ'd no more. Scripture: Psalm 89:30-46

"High shall he reign on David's throne, My people's better King; My arm shall beat his rivals down, And still new subjects bring. "My truth shall guard him in his way, With mercy by his side, While in my name through earth and sea He shall in triumph ride. "Me for his Father and his God He shall for ever own, Call me his rock, his high abode, And I'll support my Son. "My first-born Son arrayed in grace At my right hand shall sit; Beneath him angels know their place, And monarchs at his feet.

Lift up your Eyes to the heav'nly Seats

Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Shortness Frailty and Misery of Life Lyrics: 1 Lift up your Eyes to heav'nly Seats, Where your Redeemer stays; Kind Intercessor, there he sits, And loves, and pleads, and prays. 2 'Twas well, my Soul, he dy'd for thee, And shed his vital Blood, Appeas'd stern Justice on the Tree, And then arose to God. 3 Petitions now and Praise may rise, And Saints their Off'rings bring, The Priest with his own Sacrifice, Presents them to the King. [4 Let Papists trust what Names they please, Their Saints and Angels boast; We've no such Advocates as these, Nor pray to th' heav'nly Host.] 5 Jesus alone shall bear my Cries Up to his Father's Throne; He (dearest Lord) perfumes my Sighs, And sweetens ev'ry Groan. [6 Ten Thousand Praises to the King, "Hosanna in the high'st; Ten Thousand Thanks our Spirits bring To God and to his Christ.]

How short and hasty is our life!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Frailty and Folly Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life! How vast our souls' affairs! Yet senseless mortals vainly strive To lavish out their years. 2 Our days run thoughtlessly along, Without a moment's stay; Just like a story, or a song We pass our lives away. 3 God from on high invites us home, But we march heedless on, And ever hastening to the tomb, Stoop downwards as we run. 4 How we deserve the deepest hell, That slight the joys above! What chains of vengeance should we feel, That break such cords of love! 5 Draw us, O Saviour, with thy grace, And lift our thoughts on high, That we may end this mortal race, And see salvation nigh.
How short and hasty is our life!
