Sick-Bed Devotion; or pleading without Repining
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #71 (1790) Topics: Man his vanity as mortal; Mortality of man; Vanity of man as mortal; Man his vanity as mortal; Mortality of man; Vanity of man as mortal First Line: God of my life, look gently down Lyrics: 1 God of my life, look gently down,
Behold the pains I feel;
But I am dumb before thy throne,
Nor dare dispute thy will.
2 Diseases are thy servants, Lord,
They come at thy command;
I'll not attempt a murmuring word,
Against thy chastening hand.
3 Yet I may plead with humble cries,
Remove thy sharp rebukes;
My strength consumes, my spirit dies,
Through thy repeated strokes.
4 Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand,
We moulder to the dust;
Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand,
And all our beauty's lost.
5 I'm but a stranger here below,
As all my fathers were;
May I be well prepar'd to go,
When I the summons hear!
6 But if my life be spared a while
Before my last remove,
Thy praise shall be my business still,
And I'll declare thy love. Scripture: Psalm 39:9-13 Languages: English

Frail, feeble, inefficient man!
While man explores, with curious eye
Author: P. M. Hymnal: Hymns Written for the Use of Hebrew Congregations #82 (1867) Topics: Relation between God and Man Duties Towards Ourselves Languages: English
While man explores, with curious eye
Pride and Death; or, The Vanity of Life and Riches
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #86 (1740) Topics: Mortality of man First Line: Why doth the Man of Riches grow Lyrics: 1 Why doth the Man of Riches grow
To Insolence and Pride,
To see his Wealth and Honours flow
With ev'ry rising Tide?
2 [Why doth he treat the Poor with Scorn,
Made of the self-same Clay,
And boast as though his Flesh was born
Of better Dust than they?]
3 Not all his Treasures can procure
His Soul a short Reprieve,
Redeem from Death one guilty Hour,
Or make his Brother live.
4 [Life is a Blessing can't be sold,
The Ransom is too high;
Justice will ne'er be brib'd with Gold,
That Man may never die.]
5 He sees the Brutish and the Wise,
The Tim'rous and the Brave,
Quit their Possessions, close their Eyes,
And hasten to the Grave.
6 Yet 'tis his inward Thought and Pride,
"My House shall ever stand;
"And that my Name may long abide,
"I'll give it to my Land."
7 Vain are his Thoughts, his Hopes are lost,
How soon his Mem'ry dies!
His Name is written in the Dust
Where his own Carcase lies.]
Pause.
8 This is the Folly of their Way;
And yet their Sons, as vain,
Approve the Words their Fathers say,
And act their Works again.
9 Men void of Wisdom, and of Grace,
If Honour raise them high,
Live like the Beast, a thoughtless Race,
And like the Beast they die.
10 [Laid in the Grave like silly Sheep,
Death feeds upon them there,
Till the last Trumpet breaks their Sleep
In Terror and Despair.] Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14 Languages: English
Pride and Death; or, The Vanity of Life and Riches
