Let others boast how strong they be

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XIX (1766) Lyrics: 1 Let others boast how strong they be, Nor Death nor Danger fear; But we'll confess, O Lord, to thee, What feeble Things we are. 2 Fresh as the Grass our Bodies stand, And flourish bright and gay, A blasting Wind sweeps o'er the Land, And fades the Grass away. 3 Our Life contains a thousand Springs, And dies if one be gone; Strange! that a Harp of thousand Strings, Should keep in Tune so long! 4 But 'tis our God supports our Frame, The God that built us first; Salvation to th' Almighty Name That rear'd us from the Dust. [5 He spoke, and strait our Hearts and Brains In all their Motions rose; Let Blood, said he, flow round the Veins, And round the Veins it flows. 6 While we have Breath, or use our Tongues, Our Maker we'll adore: His Spirit moves our heaving Lungs, Or they would breathe no more.] Topics: Earth and Heaven; Health preserved; Life preserved; Presence of God, Preserver of our Lives; Bodies frail Languages: English
