Frailty

Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord, how in Silence I despise Lyrics: 1 Lord, how in Silence I despise The giddy Worldling's Snare, This Beauty, Riches, Honour, Toys Beneath a Moments Care? 2 Hence painted Dust, and gilded Clay! You have no Charms for me; Delusive Breath be far away! I waste no Thought on thee. 3 But when abroad at once i view Both the World's Hosts and thine, These simple, sad, afflicted, few, Those numerous, gay and fine! 4 Lost my Resolves, my Scorn is past, I boast my Strength no more. A willing Slave they bind me fast With unresisted power. 5 O brook not this! Let not thy Foes Profane thy hallow'd Shrine; Thine is my soul, by sacred Vows Of strictest Union Thine! 6 O hear my just, tho' late Request, Once more the Captive free, Renew thy Image in my Breast, and claim my Heart for thee.
