The mighty flood that rolls
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Job 14:11-14 Topics: Death
The mighty flood that rolls
Few, few and evil are thy days
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Job 14:1-3 Lyrics:
Few, few and evil are thy days,
Man, of a woman born;
Peril and trouble haunt thy ways;
Forth, like a flower at morn,
The tender infant springs to light,
Youth blossoms to the breeze,
Age, withering age, is cropt ere night;
Man like a shadow flees.
215
And dost thou look on such an one?
Will God to judgment call
A worm, for what a worm hath done
Against the Lord of all?
As fail the waters from the deep,
As summer-brooks run dry,
Man lieth down in dreamless sleep,
His life is vanity.
Man lieth down, no more to wake,
Till yonder arching sphere
Shall, with a roll of thunder, break,
And nature disappear.
O hide me, till Thy wrath be past,
Thou who canst slay or save!
Hide me, where hope may anchor fast,
In my Redeemer's grave.
Topics: Life and death and judgment
Few, few and evil are thy days
The only Perfect
Author: James Relly Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Job 14:4 First Line: Could I of all perfection boast Lyrics: 1 Could I of all perfection boast,
As pure as that which Adam lost,
I'd sacrifice it to thy blood,
My Christ, my all, my only good.
2 Were I as Abram, strong in faith,
And boldly stedfast unto death;
I'd bid my faithfulness adieu,
And Jesus only faithful view.
3 If I more meek than Moses were,
Quite free from anger, strife, or fear;
Yet this I gladly would despise,
And Jesus's meekness only prize.
4 Was I as Job submissive still,
Patient, resign'd in ev'ry ill;
Yet all should fade before his cross,
Compar'd with him, it is but dross.
5 If I was wise as Solomon,
Like him with zeal and ardour shone;
Like him I'd vain and foolish see
My wisdom, zeal, yea all but Thee.
6 Had I an Angel's purity;
Yea even this I would deny;
Nor good confess in name or thing,
But Christ my Lord, my life, my King.
The only Perfect
When mortal man resigns his breath
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Job 14:5-6 Lyrics: 1 When mortal man resigns his breath,
'Tis God directs the shafts of death,
Casual howe'er the stroke appear,
He sends the fatal messenger:
2 The keys are in that hand divine;
That hand must first the warrant sign,
And arm the death, and wing the dart,
Which speeds his message to our heart.
3 Who first inspir'd the breath of lives,
The living kills, the dead revives,
Brings to the margin of the grave,
And shows us thence his power to save:
4 From hence if thou my body raise,
I'll publish my Restorer's praise,
My life at thy dear hands receive,
And only for thy glory live. Topics: Life and Death in the Hands of God; Sickness and Recovery

Few are the Days
Author: Charles P. Jones Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Job 14 First Line: Few are the days of man on earth Lyrics: 1 Few are the days of man on earth,
Whate'er his lot, where'er his birth;
Swift as a post they pass away,
Nor have we pow'r to make them stay.
2 Yet while we daily pilgrims go,
Great are our troubles here below,
And often, while we have our breath,
We long for rest, the rest of death.
3 Great God, the God of earth and sky,
'Tis Thou canst bless us from on high;
'Tis Thou canst make the burden light,
And make our dying moments bright.
4 Then blessed Christ we look to Thee
From ev'ry ill to set us free;
Dwell Thou within each troubled heart,
And strength divine to all impart. Topics: Gospel Used With Tune: ST. PAUL
