How Should The Sons Of Adam's Race
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11097 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE First Line: How should the sons of Adam’s race Lyrics: 1 How should the sons of Adam’s race
Be pure before their God?
If He contend in righteousness,
We fall beneath His rod.
2 To vindicate my words and thoughts
I’ll make no more pretense;
Not one of all my thousand faults
Can bear a just defense.
3 Strong is His arm, His heart is wise;
What vain perfumers dare
Against their Maker’s hand to rise,
Or tempt th’unequal war?
4 Mountains by His almighty wrath
From their old seats are torn;
He shakes the earth, from south to north,
And all her pillars mourn.
5 He bids the sun forbear to rise;
Th’obedient sun forbears:
His hand with sackcloth spreads the skies,
And seals up all the stars.
6 He walks upon the stormy sea;
Flies on the stormy wind:
There’s none can trace His wondrous way,
Or His dark footsteps find. Languages: English

How should the sons of Adam's race
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R7 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ST NICHOLAS Lyrics: 1 How should the sons of Adam’s race
be pure before their God?
If he contends in righteousness,
we sink beneath his rod.
2 If he should mark my words and thoughts
with strict enquiring eyes,
could I for one of thousand faults
the least excuse devise?
3 Strong in his arm, his heart is wise;
who dares with him contend?
Or who, that tries th’ unequal strife,
shall prosper in the end?
4 He makes the mountains feel his wrath,
and their old seats forsake;
the trembling earth deserts her place,
and all her pillars shake.
5 He bids the sun forbear to rise;
th’ obedient sun forbears:
his hand with sackcloth spreads the skies,
and seals up all the stars.
6 He walks upon the raging sea;
flies on the stormy wind:
none can explore his wondrous way,
or his dark footsteps find. Scripture: Job 9:2-10 Languages: English
