With Firm Resolve I Held My Peace

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #75 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 With firm resolve I held my peace And spake not either bad or good, Lest I should utter sinful thoughts While wicked men before me stood. 2 While I was dumb my grief was stirred, My heart grew hot with thought suppressed; The while I mused the fire increased, Then to the Lord I made request. 3 Make me, O Lord, to know my end, Teach me the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am And turn from pride and sinful ways. 4 My time is nothing in Thy sight, Behold, my days are but a span; yea, truly at his best estate, A breath, a fleeting breath, is man. 5 Man's life is passed in vain desire If troubled years be spent for gain; He knows not whose his wealth shall be, And all his toil is but in vain. 6 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? I have no nope except in Thee; Let not ungodly men reproach, From all transgression set me free. 7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb, I spoke no word of rash complaint; Remove Thy stroke away from me, Beneath Thy chastisement I faint. 8 When Thou for his iniquity Rebukest and correctest man, His beauty is consumed away; How weak his strength, how vain his plan. 9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry; I weep; be Thou my Comforter. I am a stranger here below, A pilgrim as my fathers were. 10 O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath, Deal gently with me, I implore, That I may yet recover strength Ere I go hence and be no more. Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

Yes, it is good your praise to sing and all our sweetest music bring. 2 O LORD, my song with joy expands before the wonders of your hands. How great the works that you have wrought; how deep, O LORD, your every thought! You make me glad; I sing your praise for all your wondrous works and ways. 3 Though as the grass the wicked grow, those evildoers do not know the endless ruin they will see. But God will reign eternally. All foes will fall before his might; the wicked shall be put to flight. 4 O LORD, you have exalted me with royal strength and dignity. With your anointing I am blest; your grace and favor on me rest. My eyes have seen the wicked die; my ears have heard their hopeless cry. 5 The righteous all will flourish well and in the house of God will dwell. They will be planted like a tree, will still in old age fruitful be. The LORD our God is upright, just; he is my Rock; in him I trust.

Dust to Dust, the Mortal Dies

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #97 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life 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. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #126 (1898) Topics: Life Brevity, Uncertainty and Solemnity of Lyrics: 1 Time is earnest, passing by; Death is earnest, drawing nigh: Sinner, wilt thou trifling be? Time and death appeal to Thee. 2 Life is earnest; when 'tis o'er, Thou returnest never more. Soon to meet eternity, Wilt Thou never serious be? 3 God is earnest: kneel and pray, Ere thy season pass away; Ere He set His judgment throne; Ere the day of grace is gone. 4 Christ is earnest, bids thee come; Paid thy spirit's priceless sum; Wilt thou spurn thy Saviour's love, Pleading with thee from above? 5 O be earnest, do not stay; Thou mayest perish e'en to-day. Rise, thou lost one, rise and flee; Lo! thy Saviour waits for thee. Languages: English Tune Title: VIENNA

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #152 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Life Brevity, Uncertainty and Solemnity of Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying Speed us onward to the dead; Oh, how soon shall we be lying Each within his narrow bed! 2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, oh, wake each idle dreamer Now to make the eternal choice! 3 Mark me whither we are wending; Ponder how we soon must go To inherit bliss unending, Or eternity of woe. 4 As a shadow life is fleeting; As a vapor so it flies: For the bygone years retreating, Pardon grant, and make us wise; 5 Wise that we our days may number, Strive and wrestle with our sin; Stay not in our work, nor slumber Till Thy holy rest we win.
