In What Confusion Earth Appears!

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10800 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In what confusion earth appears! God’s dearest children bathed in tears; While they, who Heav’n itself deride Riot in luxury and pride. 2 But patient let my soul attend, And, ere I censure, view the end: That end how different who can tell? The wide extremes of Heav’n 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 Abram’s breast he leans his head, And banquets on celestial bread. 5 Jesus, my Savior, let me share The meanest of Thy servants’ fare: May I at last approach to taste The blessings of Thy marriage feast.

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #121 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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.
