Ye Sons of Pride, that hate the Just

Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Hope and despair in death Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Pride, that hate the Just And trample on the Poor; When Death has brought you down to Dust, Your Pomp shall rise no more. 2 The last great Day shall change the Scene; When will that Hour appear? When shall the Just revive, and reign O'er all that scorn'd them here? 3 GOD will my naked Soul receive, When sep'rate from the Flesh; And break the Prison of the Grave, To raise my Bones afresh. 4 Heav'n is my everlasting Home, Th' Inheritance is sure: Let Men of Pride their Rage resume, But I'll repine no more. Scripture: Psalm 49:14-15
