How happy is he born and taught
Let others boast how strong they be
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Man's Dependence on God Lyrics: 1 Let others boast how strong they be,
Nor death nor danger fear;
While we'll confess, O Lord, to thee,
What feeble things we are.
2 Fresh as the grass our bodies stand,
And flourish bright and gay;
A blasting wind sweeps o'er the land,
And fades the grass away.
3 Our life contains a thousand springs,
And dies if one be gone;
Strange! that a harp of thousand strings
Should keep in tune so long.
4 But 'tis our God supports our frame,
The God that form'd us first.
Salvation to th' almighty name
That rear'd us from the dust.
5 While we have breath, or of life, or tongues,
Our Maker we'll adore.
His spirit moves our heaving lungs,
Or they would breathe no more.
Let others boast how strong they be
Dead be my heart to all below
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Dead be my heart to all below,
To mortal joys and mortal cares;
To sensual bliss that charms us so,
Be dark, mine eyes, and deaf my ears.
2 Lord, I renounce my carnal taste
Of the fair fruit that sinners prize;
Their paradise shall never waste
One thought of mine, but to despise.
3 All earthly joy are overweigh'd
With mountains of vexatious care;
And where's the sweet that is not laid
A bait to some destructive snare?
4 Begone, for ever, mortal things!
Thou mighty mole-hill, earth, farewell
Angels aspire of lofty wings,
And leave the globe for ants to dwell.
5 Come, heaven, and fill my vast desires,
My soul pursues the sovereign good;
She was all made of heavenly fires,
Nor can she live on meaner food.
Dead be my heart to all below
In what confusion earth appears!
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Rich Man and Lazarus Lyrics: 1 In what confusion earth appears!
God's dearest children bath'd in tears;
While they who heaven itself deride,
Riot in luxury and pride.
2 But patient let my soul attend,
And, ere I censure, view the end;
That end, how diff'rent! who can tell
The wide extremes of heaven and hell?
3 See the red flames around him twine,
Who did in gold and purple shine!
Nor can his tongue one drop obtain
T' allay the scorching of his pain.
4 While round the saint, so poor below
Full rivers of salvation flow;
On Abrah'm's breast he leans his head,
And banquets on celestial bread.
5 Jesus, my Lord, let me appear
The meanest of thy servant's here;
So that at length I may but taste
The blessings of thy marriage feast. Scripture: Luke 6:25
In what confusion earth appears!
Firm was my health, my day was bright
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: The frailty of man Lyrics: 1 Firm was my health, my day was bright,
And I presum'd 'twould ne'er be night;
Fondly I said within my heart,
Pleasure and peace shall ne'er depart.
2 But I forgot thine arm was strong,
Which made my mountain stand so long:
And when thy face was turn'd aside,
My health was gone, my comforts died.
3 Hear me, O God of grace! I said,
And raise me from among the dead:
Thy word rebuk'd the pains I felt;
Thy pard'ning love remov'd my guilt.
4 I will extol thee, Lord, on high:
At thy command diseases fly:
Who but a God can speak and save
From the dark borders of the grave?
5 Thine anger but a moment stays;
Thy love is life and length of days:
Though grief and tears the night employ,
The morning-star restores the joy.
Firm was my health, my day was bright
The morning flow'rs display their sweets
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 171 hymnals Topics: Man fading and reviving Lyrics: 1 The morning flow'rs display their sweets,
And gay their silken leaves unfold,
As careless of the noon-day heats
And fearless of the ev'ning cold.
2 Nipt by the wind's untimely blast,
Parch'd by the sun's directer ray,
The momentary glories waste,
The short-liv'd beauties die away.
3 So blooms the human face divine,
When youth its pride and beauty shows;
Fairer than spring the colours shine
And sweeter than the virgin rose.
4 O worn by slowly rolling years,
Or broke by sickness in a day,
The fading glory disappears,
The short-liv'd beauties die away.
5 Yet these, new-rising from the tomb,
With lustre brighter far shall shine;
Revive with ever-during bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
6 Let sickness blast and death devour,
If heav'n must recompense our pains;
Perish the grass, and fade the flow'r,
If firm the word of God remains.
The morning flow'rs display their sweets
