In vain the wealthy Mortals toil
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XXIV (1766) Scripture: Psalm 49:6 Lyrics: 1 In vain the wealthy Mortals toil,
And heap their shining Dust in vain,
Look down and scorn the humble Poor,
And boast their lofty Hills of Gain.
2 Their golden Cordials cannot ease
Their pained Hearts or aching Heads,
Nor fright, nor bribe approaching Death
From glitt'ring Roofs and downy Beds.
3 The ling'ring, the unwilling Soul,
The dismal Summons must obey,
And bid a long, a sad Farewel,
To the pale Lump of lifeless Clay.
4 Thence they are huddled to the Grave,
Where Kings and Slaves have equal Thrones;
Their Bones without Distinction lie
Amongst the Heap of meaner Bones. Topics: Covetousness; Death of a Sinner; Rich sinner dying Languages: English
In vain the wealthy Mortals toil
In vain the wealthy mortals toil
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #667 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 49:9 Lyrics:
In vain the wealthy mortals toil,
And heap their shining dust in vain,
Look down and scorn the humble poor,
And boast their lofty hills of gain.
Their golden cordials cannot ease
Their pained hearts or aching heads,
Nor fright nor bribe approaching death
From glitt'ring roofs and downy beds.
The ling'ring, the unwilling soul
The dismal summons must obey,
And bid a long, a sad farewell
To the pale lump of lifeless clay.
Thence they are huddled to the grave,
Where kings and slaves have equal thrones;
Their bones without distinction lie
Amongst the heap of meaner bones.

Redemption Ground
Hear this, all people and give ear
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P49a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 49 Lyrics: 1 Hear this, all people, and give ear,
all in the world that dwell,
2 both low and high, both rich and poor;
3 my mouth shall wisdom tell:
my heart shall knowledge meditate.
4 I will incline mine ear
to parables, and on the harp
my sayings dark declare.
5 Amidst those days that evil be,
why should I fearing doubt?
When my pursuers' wickedness
shall compass me about.
6 Whoe’er they be that in their wealth
their confidence do place,
and who themselves because
their riches grow apace;
7 Yet none of these his brother can
redeem by any way;
nor can he unto God for him
sufficient ransom pay;
8 that he should still for ever live
and not corruption see:
9 their souls's redemption costly is,
nor can it ever be.
10 Because he sees that wise men die,
that fools and brutish all
do perish, and, when dead, their wealth
doth unto others fall.
11 Their inward thought is that their homes
and dwelling places all
shall stand for evermore; their lands
by their own names they call.
12 But yet in honour shall not man
abide continually;
but passing hence may be compared
unto the beasts that die.
13 Thus brutish folly plainly is
their wisdom and their way;
yet their posterity approve
what they do fondly say.
14 Like sheep they in the grave are laid,
and death shall them devour;
and in the morning upright men
shall over them have power:
their beauty from their dwelling shall
consume within the grave.
15 But from death’s hand God will me free,
for he shall me receive.
16 Be not afraid then when a man
enriched thou dost see;
nor when the glory of his house
increaseth wondrously.
17 For he shall carry nothing hence,
when death his days doth end;
nor shall his glory after him
into the grave descend.
18 Although he his own soul did bless,
whilst he on earth did live;
(and when thou to thyself dost well,
men will thee praises give;)
19 he to his fathers’ race shall go;
they never shall see light.

Psalm 49
Hymnal: Foundations Psalter #49 (2023) Scripture: Psalm 49 First Line: Hear this, all people, and give ear Lyrics: 1 Hear this, all people, and give ear,
all in the world that dwell;
2 Both low and high, both rich and poor.
3 My mouth shall wisdom tell:
My heart shall knowledge meditate.
4 I will incline mine ear
To parables, and on the harp
my sayings dark declare.
5 Amidst those days that evil be,
why should I, fearing, doubt?
When of my heels th' iniquity
shall compass me about.
6 Whoe'er they be that in their wealth
their confidence do pitch,
And boast themselves, because they are
become exceeding rich:
7 Yet none of these his brother can
redeem by any way;
Nor can he unto God for him
sufficient ransom pay,
8 (Their soul's redemption precious is,
and it can never be,)
9 That still he should for ever live,
and not corruption see.
10 For why? he seeth that wise men die,
and brutish fools also
Do perish; and their wealth, when dead,
to others they let go.
11 Their inward thought is, that their house
and dwelling-places shall
Stand through all ages; they their lands
by their own names do call.
12 But yet in honor shall not man
abide continually;
But passing hence, may be compared
unto the beasts that die.
13 Thus brutish folly plainly is
their wisdom and their way;
Yet their posterity approve
what they do fondly say.
14 Like sheep they in the grave are laid,
and death shall them devour;
And in the morning upright men
shall over them have pow'r:
Their beauty from their dwelling shall
consume within the grave.
15 But from hell's hand God will me free,
for he shall me receive.
16 Be thou not then afraid when one
enrichèd thou dost see,
Nor when the glory of his house
advancèd is on high:
17 For he shall carry nothing hence
when death his days doth end;
Nor shall his glory after him
into the grave descend.
18 Although he his own soul did bless
whilst he on earth did live;
(And when thou to thyself dost well,
men will thee praises give;)
19 He to his fathers' race shall go,
they never shall see light.

Dust to Dust, the Mortal Dies
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #97 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Scripture: Psalm 49 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.
Though 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
Though one's house and wealth increase;
Death shall end his fleeting day,
He shall carry naught away.
4 Though in life he wealth attained,
Though the praise of men he gained,
He shall join those gone before,
Where the light shall shine no more.
Crowned with honor though he be,
Highly gifted, strong and free,
If he be not truly wise,
Man is like the beast that dies. Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life; Death; Resurrection Of The Body; Vanity Of Riches; Wisdom Of Man Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN
