Vain are the hopes the sons of men
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 136 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes the sons of men
On their own works have built;
Their hearts, by nature, all unclean,
And all their actions, guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile equal stand,
Without a murmuring word;
And the whole race of Adam own
Their guilt before the Lord.
3 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace;
When in thy name we trust,
Our faith receives a righteousness
That makes the sinner just. Used With Tune: MONSON

What scenes of horror and of dread
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: The Death of the Sinner and the Saint Lyrics: 1 What scenes of horror and of dread
Await the sinner's dying bed!
Death's terrors all appear in sight,
Presages of eternal night.
2 His sins in dreadful order rise,
And fill his soul with sad surprise;
Mount Sinai's thunder shuns his ears,
And not one ray of hope appears.
3 Tormenting pangs distract his breast;
Where'er he turns he finds no rest;
Death strikes the blow; he groans and cries,
And, in despair and horror, dies.
4 Not so the heir of heavenly bliss:--
His soul is fill'd with conscious peace;
A steady faith subdues his fear!
He sees the happy Canaan near.
5 His mind is tranquil and serene;
No terrors in his looks are seen;
His Saviour's smile dispels the gloom,
And smooths his passage to the tomb.
6 Lord! make my faith and love sincere,
My judgment sound, my conscience clear:
And, when the toils of life are past,
May I be found in peace at last.
What scenes of horror and of dread
How Shall the Young Direct Their Way?
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 How shall the young direct their way?
What light shall be their perfect guide?
Your Word, O Lord, will safely lead
if in its wisdom they confide.
2 Sincerely I have sought you, Lord,
O let me not from you depart;
to know your will and keep from sin,
your Word I cherish in my heart.
3 O blessed Lord, teach me your law,
your righteous judgments I declare;
your testimonies make me glad,
for they are wealth beyond compare.
4 Upon your precepts and your ways
my heart will meditate with awe;
your Word shall be my chief delight,
and I will not forget your law. Scripture: Psalm 119:9-16 Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN Text Sources: Psalter, 1912
