My never ceasing Songs shall show

Appears in 81 hymnals Topics: Old age and resurrection; Old age and resurrection Lyrics: 1 My never ceasing Songs shall show The Mercies of the Lord; And make succeeding Ages know How faithful is his Word. 2 The sacred Truths his Lips pronounce Shall firm as Heav'n endure; And if he speak a Oromise once, Th' eternal Grace is sure. 3 How long the Race of David held The promis'd Jewish Throne! But there's a nobler Cov'nant seal'd To David's greater Son. 4 His Seed for ever shall possess A Throne above the Skies; The meanest Subjects of his Grace Shall to that Glory rise. 5 Lord GOD of Hosts, thy wond'rous Ways Are sung by Saints above; And Saints on Earth their Honours raise To thy unchanging Love.

Remember Lord, our mortal state

Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Old age and resurrection; Old age and resurrection Lyrics: 1 Remember Lord, our mortal state, How frail our life, how short the date! Where is the man that draws his breath Safe from disease, secure from death. 2 Lord, while we see whole nations die, Our flesh and sense repine and cry, "Must death for ever rage and reign! "Or hast thou made mankind in vain." 3 Where is thy promise to the just? Are not thy servants turn'd to dust? But faith forbids these mournful sighs, And sees the sleeping dust arise. 4 That glorious hour, that dreadful day Wipes the reproach of saints away, And clears the honour of thy word: Awake, our souls, and bless the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52

Then shall we shine before thy throne In all thy beauty, Lord; And the poor service we have done Meet a Divine reward. Scripture: Psalm 90:13-17

Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Old age death; Old age death 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
