LXXXII | Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scriptural Collection#LXXXIII | LXXXIV |
1 It is the Lord our Saviour's Hand
Weakens our Strength amidst the Race;
Disease and Death at his Command
Arrest us, and cut short our Days.
2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,
Nor let our Sun go down at Noon;
Thy Years are one eternal Day;
And must thy Children die so soon!
3 Yet in the Midst of Death and Grief
This Thought our Sorrow should asswage;
"Our Father and our Saviour live;
"Christ is the same thro' ev'ry Age.
4 'Twas he this Earth's Foundation laid;
Heav'n is the Building of his Hand;
This Earth grows old, these Heav'ns shall fade;
And all be chang'd at his Command.
5 The starry Curtains of the Sky,
Like Garment shall be laid aside;
But still thy Throne stands firm and high;
Thy Church for ever must abide.
6 Before thy Face thy Church shall live,
And on thy Throne thy Children reign;
This dying World shall they survive,
And the dead Saints be rais'd again.
