Let others boast how strong they be

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 Let others boast how strong they be, Nor death nor danger fear; While 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 wrong; Strange, that a harp of thousand strings Should keep in tune so long. 4 But 'tis our God supports our frame, The God that formed us first, Salvation to the almighty Name That reared us from the dust! 5 While we have breath, or life, or tongues, Our Maker we'll adore. His Spirit moves our heaving lungs, Or they would breathe no more. Used With Tune: MANCHESTER

Like Yesterday's departed Light, Or the last Watch of ending Night.] Pause. 5 Death, like an overflowing Stream, Sweeps us away; our Life's a Dream; An empty Tale; a Morning Flow'r, Cut down and wither'd in an Hour. 6 [Our Age to seventy Years is set; How short the Term! How frail the State! And if to Eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan, than live. 7 But O! how oft thy Wrath appears, And cuts off our expected Years! Thy Wrath awakes our humble Dread: We fear that Pow'r that strikes us dead.] 8 Teach us, O Lord, how frail is Man; And kindly lengthen out our Span, 'Till a wise Care of Piety Fit us to die, and dwell with Thee. Scripture: Psalm 90
