Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Man his vanity as mortal; Man his vanity as mortal First Line: Lord, if thine eyes survey our faults Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thine eyes survey our faults, And justice grow severe, Thy dreadful wrath exceeds our thoughts, And burns beyond our fear. 2 Thine anger turns our frame to dust; By one offence to thee, Adam, with all his sons, have lost Their immortality. 3 Life, like a vain amusement flies, A fable or a song; By swift degrees our nature dies, Nor can our joys be long. 4 'Tis but a few whose days amount To three score years and ten; And all beyond that short account Is sorrow, toil, and pain. 5 [Our vitals with laborious strife Bear up the crazy load, And drag these poor remains of life Along the tiresome road. 6 Almighty God, reveal thy love, And not thy wrath alone; Oh let our sweet experience prove The mercies of thy throne. 7 Our souls would learn the heavenly art T' improve the hours we have, That we may act the wiser part, And live beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 90:8-12

All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: HERALD ANGELS
