Let atheists scoff, and Jews blaspheme Th' eternal life and Jesus' name; A word of thy almighty breath Dooms the rebellious world to death.

Shall the vile Race of Flesh and Blood

Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Man mortal and vain Lyrics: 1 Shall the vile Race of Flesh and Blood Contend with their Creator, God? Shall mortal Worms presume to be More Holy, Wise, or Just than He? 2 Behold, he puts his Trust in none Of all the Spirits round his Throne; Their Natures, when compar'd with his, Are neither Holy, Kust, nor Wise. 3 But how much meaner Things are they Who spring from Dust, and dwell in Clay? Touch'd by the Finger of thy Wrath, We faint and vanish like the Moth. 4 From Night to Day, from Day to Night, We die by Thousands in thy Sight; Bury'd in Dust whole Nations lie Like a forgotten Vanity. 5 Almighty Pow'r, to Thee we bow; How frail are we! how glorious Thou! No more the Sons of Earth shall dare With an eternal God compare. Scripture: Job 4:17-21

What vain desires and passions vain

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: God eternal, and man mortal; Mortality and God's eternity; Man mortal, and Christ eternal Lyrics: What vain desires and passions vain Attend this mortal clay! Oft have they pierced my soul with pain, And drawn my heart astray. How have I wandered from my God! And, following sin and shame, In this vile world of flesh and blood Defiled my nobler frame! For ever blessed be thy grace That formed my soul anew, And made it of a heav'n-born race, Thy glory to pursue. My spirit holds perpetual war, And wrestles and complains; But views the happy moment near That shall dissolve its chains. Cheerful in death I close my eyes To part with every lust; And charge my flesh, whene'er it rise, To leave them in the dust. My purer spirit shall not fear To put this body on; Its tempting powers no more are there, Its lusts and passions gone! Scripture: Romans 8:1

The Issues of Life

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Man Mortal and Frail First Line: Dust to dust, the mortal dies Lyrics: 1 Dust to dust, the mortal dies, Both the foolish and the wise; None forever can remain, Each must leave his hoarded gain. Yet within their heart they say That their houses are for aye, That their dwelling places grand Shall for generations stand. 2 To their lands they give their name In the hope of lasting fame, But man's honor quickly flies, Like the lowly beast he dies. Tho' such folly mark their way, Men approve of what they say; Death their shepherd, they the sheep He within his fold will keep. 3 O'er them soon shall rule the just, All their beauty turn to dust; God my waiting soul shall save, He will raise me from the grave. Let no fear disturb your peace Tho' one's house and wealth increase; Death shall end his fleeting day, He shall carry naught away. 4 Though in life he wealth attained, Tho' the praise of men he gained, He shall join those gone before, Where the light shall shine no more. Crowned with honor tho' he be, Highly gifted, strong and free, If he be not truly wise, Man is like the beast that dies. Scripture: Psalm 49 Used With Tune: WATCHMAN
