Happy the city, where their sons

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Man his vanity as mortal; Vanity of man as mortal Lyrics: Happy the city where their sons, Like pillars round a palace set, And daughters, bright as polished stones, Give strength and beauty to the state. Happy the country where the sheep, Cattle, and corn, have large increase; Where men securely work or sleep, Nor sons of plunder break the peace. Happy the nation thus endowed, But more divinely blest are those On whom the all-sufficient God Himself with all his grace bestows. Scripture: Psalm 144:12-15

A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Within their heav'nly home: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2. A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3. 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Vanity and Mortality of Man Lyrics: 1 Not from the Dust Affliction grows, Nor Troubles rise by Chance; Yet we are born to Cares and Woes, A sad Inheritance! 2 As Sparks break out from burning Coals, And still are upwards borne; So Grief is rooted in our Souls, And Man grows lip to mourn. 3 Yet with my God I leave my Cause, And trust his promis'd Grace; He rules me by his well-known Laws Of Love and Righteousness. 5 Not all the Pains that e'er I bore Shall spoil my future Peace, For Death and Hell can do no more Than what my Father please. Scripture: Job 5:6-8
