Life, Death, and the Resurrection

Appears in 71 hymnals First Line: Think, mighty GOD, on feeble Man Lyrics: 1 Think, mighty GOD, on feeble Man; How few his Hours! how short his Span! Short from the Cradle to the Grave' Who can secure his vital Breath Against the bold Demands of Death, With Skill to fly, or Pow'r to save? 2 Lord, shall it be for ever said, "The Race of Man was only made "For Sickness, Sorrow, and the dust!" Are not thy Servants, Day by Day, Sent to their Graves, and turn'd to Clay? Lord, where's thy Kindness to the Just? 3 Has thou not promis'd to thy Son And all his Seed a heav'nly Crown? But Flesh and Sense indulge Despair; For ever blessed be the Lord, That Faith can read his holy Word, And find a Resurrection there. 4 For ever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his Saints a long Reward For all their Toil, Reproach and Pain; Let all below, and all above, Join to proclaim thy wond'rous Love, And each repeat their loud Amen.

Man Mortal and God Eternal: A mournful Song at a Funeral

Appears in 161 hymnals First Line: Through every Age, eternal GOD Lyrics: 1 Through every Age, eternal GOD, Thou art our Rest, our safe Abode; High was thy Throne e'er Heav'n was made, Or Earth, thy humble Footstool, laid. 2 Long hadst thou reign'd e'er Time began, Or Dust was fashion'd to a Man, And long thy Kingdom shall endure, When Earth and Time shall be no more. 3 But Man, weak Man, is born to die, Made up of Guilt and Vanity; Thy dreadful Sentence, Lord, was just, Return, ye sinners, to your Dust. 4 [A Thousand of our Years amount Scarce to a Day in thine Account. 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. Topics: Death the effect of sin; Frailty of Man; Funeral psalm; God Eternal and Man mortal; Life and Riches short and feeble; Man his vanity as mortal; Mortality of man; Saints Reward at last Scripture: Psalm 90

Appears in 51 hymnals First Line: Lord, if thine Eyes survey our Faults Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thine Eyes surveys our Faults, And Justice grows severe, Thy dreadful Wrath exceeds our Thoughts, And burns beyond our Fear. 2 Thine Anger turns our Frame to Dust, By one Offence to Thee Adam, with all his Sons, have lost Their Immortality. 3 Life, like a vain Amusement, flies, A Fable or a Song; By swift Degrees our Nature dies, Nor can our Joys be long. 4 'Tis but a few whose Days amount To threescore Years and ten; And all beyond that short Account Is Sorrow, Toil and Pain. 5 [Our Vitals with laborious Strife Bear up the crazy Load, And drag those poor Remains of Life Along the tiresome Road.] 6 Almighty GOD, reveal thy Love, And not thy Wrath alone; Oh! let our sweet Experience prove The Mercies of thy Throne. 7 Our Souls would learn the heav'nly Art T' improve the Hours we have, That we may act the wiser Part, And live beyond the Grave. Topics: Death the effect of sin; Frailty of Man; Funeral psalm; God Eternal and Man mortal; Life and Riches short and feeble; Man his vanity as mortal; Mortality of man; Saints Reward at last Scripture: Psalm 90:8-12

The Lord of Glory reigns; he reigns on high

Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord of Glory reigns; he reigns on high; His Robes of State are Strength & Majesty: This wide Creation rose at his Command, Built by his Word and 'stablish'd by his Hand. Long stood his Throne e'er he began Creation, And his own Godhead is the firm Foundation. 2 GOD is th' Eternal King. Thy Foes in vain Raise their Rebellions to confound thy Reign; In vain the Storms, in vain the Floods arise, And roar, and toss their Waves against the Skies; Foaming at Heav'n, they rage with wild Commotion, But Heav'n's high Arches scorn the swelling Ocean. 3 Ye Tempests, rage no more; ye Floods, be still, And the mad World submissive to his Will: Built on his Truth his Church must ever stand; Firm are his Promises, and strong his Hand: See his own Sons, when they appear before him, Bow at his Footstool, and with Fear adore him. Topics: God Eternal and Sovereign, and holy; God his power and majesty; God supreme governor; Jehovah reigns Scripture: Psalm 93
