The Power and Majesty of God; or, Reverential Worship
Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Old age and resurrection; Old age and resurrection First Line: With reverence let the saints appear Lyrics: 1 With reverence let the saints appear,
And bow before the Lord;
His high commands with reverence hear,
And tremble at his word.
2 How terrible thy glories rise!
How bright thine armies shine!
Where is the power with thee that vies,
Or truth compar'd with thine?
3 The Northern pole and Southern rest
On thy supporting hand;
Darkness and day from East to West,
Move round at thy command.
4 Thy word the raging winds controul,
And rule the boisterous deep;
Thou mak'st the sleeping billows roll,
The rolling billows sleep.
5 Heaven, earth, and air, and sea are thine,
And the dark world of hell;
They saw thine arm in vengeance shine
When Egypt durst rebel.
6 Justice and judgement are thy throne,
Yet wondrous is thy grace!
While truth and mercy, join'd in one,
Invite us near thy face. Scripture: Psalm 89:7-14

The Sinner's Portion and Saint's Hope; or, the Heaven of separate Souls, and the Resurection
Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Old age and resurrection; Old age and resurrection First Line: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine: but thy wilt prove
My faith, my patience, and my love;
When men of spite against me join,
They are the sword, the hand is thine.
2 Their hope and portion lie below;
’Tis all the happiness they know,
’Tis all they seek; they take their shares,
And leave the rest among their heirs,
3 What sinners value, I resign;
Lord, ’tis enough that thou art mine:
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.
4 This life’s a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world, to which I go,
Hath joys substantial and sincere;
When shall I wake and find me there?
5 O glorious hour! O blest abode!
I shall be near, and like my God?
And flesh and sin no more controul
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound:
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour’s image rise. Scripture: Psalm 17

Joy to the World; the Lord is come
Appears in 1,894 hymnals Topics: Old age death Lyrics: 1 Joy to the World; the Lord is come;
Let Earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry Heart prepare him Room,
And Heav'n and Nature sing.
2 Joy to the Earth, the Saviour reigns;
Let Men their Songs employ;
While Fields and Floods, Rocks, Hills and Plains,
Repeat the sounding Joy.
3 No more let Sins and Sorrows grow,
Nor Thorns infest the Ground;
He comes to make his Blessings flow
Far as the Curse is found.
4 He rules the World with Truth and Grace,
And makes the Nations prove
The Glories of his Righteousness,
And Wonders of his Love.
Scripture: Psalm 98

Life, Death, and the Resurrection
Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Old age and resurrection; Old age and resurrection 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 power to save?
2 Lord, shall it be forever 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 Hast thou not promis'd to thy son
And all his seed a heavenly crown?
But flesh and sense indulge dispair;
Forever blessed be the Lord,
That faith can read his holy word,
And find a resurrection there.
4 Forever 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 wondrous love,
And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52

The Frailty and Shortness of Life
Appears in 164 hymnals Topics: Old age death; Old age death First Line: Lord, what a feeble piece Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a feeble piece
Is this our mortal frame!
Our life how poor a trifle 'tis,
That scarce deserves the name!
2 Alas, the brittle clay
That built our body first!
And every month and every day,
'Tis mouldering back to dust.
3 Our moments fly apace,
Our feeble powers decay,
Swift like a flood our hasty days
Are sweeping us away.
4 Yet, if our days must fly,
We'll keep their end in sight,
We'll spend them all in wisdom's way,
And let them speed their flight.
5 They'll waft us sooner o'er
This life's tempestuous sea;
Soon we shall reach the peaceful shore
Of blest eternity. Scripture: Psalm 90:5
