Psalm 39 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.92 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Vanity of man as mortal First Line: God of my life, look gently down Lyrics: God of my life, look gently down, Behold the pains I feel; But I am dumb before thy throne, Nor dare dispute thy will. Diseases are thy servants, Lord, They come at thy command; I'll not attempt a murm'ring word Against thy chast'ning hand. Yet I may plead with humble cries, Remove thy sharp rebukes; My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes. Crushed as a moth beneath thy hand, We moulder to the dust; Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand, And all our beauty's lost. [This mortal life decays apace, How soon the bubble's broke! Adam and all his num'rous race Are vanity and smoke.] I'm but a sojourner below, As all my fathers were; May I be well prepared to go, When I the summons hear. But if my life be spared awhile, Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my business still, And I'll declare thy love. Scripture: Psalm 39:9-13 Languages: English

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 Has thou not promis'd to thy Son And all his Seed a heav'nly Crown? But Flesh and Sense indulge Despair; For ever blessed be the Lord, That Faith can read his holy Word, And find a Resurrection there. 4 For ever 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 wond'rous Love, And each repeat their loud Amen.
