Let others boast how strong they be
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Life, Death and Futurity Frailty and vanity of mortal life
Let others boast how strong they be
Old Age approaching, or, man frail and mortal
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: Man His mortality First Line: Eternal God! enthron'd on high! Lyrics: 1 Eternal God! enthron'd on high!
Whom angel-hosts adore;
Who yet to suppliant dust art nigh,
thy presence I implore.
2 O guide me down the steep of age,
And keep my passions cool;
Teach me to scan the sacred page,
And practice every rule.
3 My flying years time urges on,
What's human must decay;
My friends, my young companions gone,
Can I expect to stay?
4 Can I exemption plead, when death
Projects his awful dart?
Can med'cines then prolong my breath,
Or virtue shield my heart?
5 Ah! no--then smooth the mortal hour,
On thee my hope depends;
Support me with almighty power,
While dust to dust descends.
6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God!
(While angels join the lay)
Admitted to the bless'd abode,
Its endless anthems pay.
7 Through heav'n, howe'er remote the bound,
Thy matchless love proclaim,
And join the choir of saints that sound
Their great Redeemer's name.

The evils that beset our path
Lo the young Tribes of Adam rise
Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Vanity and Mortality of Youth Lyrics: 1 Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise,
And through all Nature rove,
Fulfil the Wishes of their Eyes,
And taste the Joys they love.
2 They give a Loose to wild Desires;
But let the Sinners know
The strict Account that God requires
Of all the Works they do.
3 The Judge prepares his Throne on high,
The frighted Earth and Seas
Avoid the fury of his Eye,
And flee before his Face.
4 How shall I bear that dreadful Day,
And stand the fiery Test?
I give all mortal Joys away,
To be for ever blest. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9
Lo the young Tribes of Adam rise
The Greatness of GOD
Appears in 257 hymnals Topics: Vanity of Man as mortal First Line: My GOD, my KIng, tny various Praise Lyrics: 1 My God, my King, thy various Praise
Shall fill the Remnant of my days;
Thy Grace employ my humble Tongue
Till Death and Glory raise the Song.
2 The Wings of ev'ry Hour shall bear
Some thankful Tribute to thine Ear;
And ev'ry setting Sun shall see
New Works of Duty done for Thee.
3 Thy Truth and Justice I'll proclaim;
Thy Bounty flows, an endless Stream;
Thy Mercy swift, thine Anger slow,
But dreadful to the stubborn foe.
4 Thy Works with sov'reign Glory shine,
And speak thy Majesty divine;
Let Britain round her Shores proclaim
The Sound and Honour of thy Name.
5 Let distant Times and Nations raise
The long Succession of thy Praise,
And unborn Ages make my Song
The Joy and Labour of their Tongue.
6 But who can speak thy wond'rous Deeds,
Thy greatness all our Thoughts exceeds;
Vast and unsearchable thy Ways,
Vast and immortal be thy Praise. Scripture: Psalm 144
The Greatness of GOD
Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young
Appears in 59 hymnals Topics: Vanity and Mortality of Youth Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young,
Indulge your Eyes, indulge your Tongue,
Taste the Delights your Souls desire,
And give a Loose to all your Fire;
2 Pursue the Pleasures you design,
And cheer your Hearts with Songs and Wine;
Enjoy the Day of Mirth, but know,
There is a Day of Judgment too.
3 God from on high beholds your Thoughts,
His Book records your secret Faults;
The Works of Darkness, you have done,
Must all appear before the Sun.
4 The Vengeance to your Follies due,
Should strike your Hearts with Terror through:
How will you stand before his Face,
Or answer for his injur'd Grace?
4 Almighty God, turn off their Eyes
From these alluring Vanities;
And let the Thunder of thy Word
Awake their Souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9
Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young

A Mourner's Entreaties
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Man Mortal and Frail First Line: My end, Lord, make me know Lyrics: 1 My end, Lord, make me know,
My days, how soon they fail;
And to my thoughtful spirit show
How weak I am and frail.
2 To Thy eternal thought
My days are but a span;
To Thee my years appear as nought,
A breath at best is man.
3 O Lord, regard my fears,
And answer my request;
turn not in silence from my tears,
But give the mourner rest.
4 I am a stranger here,
Dependent on Thy grace,
A pilgrim, as my fathers were,
With no abiding place.
