Shall the vile Race of Flesh and Blood

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #HXLIX (1760) Lyrics: 1 Shall the vile Race of Flesh and Blood Contend with their Creator, God? Shall mortal Worms presume to be More holy, wise, or just than He? 2 Behold, He puts his Trust in none Of all the Spirits round his Throne; Their Natures, when compar'd with his, Are neither holy, just, nor wise. 3 But how much meaner Things are they Who spring from Dust, and dwell in Clay! Touch'd by the Finger of thy Wrath, We faint and vanish like the Moth. 4 From Night to Day, from Day to Night, We die by thousands in thy Sight; Bury'd in Dust whole Nations lie Like a forgotten Vanity. 5 Almighty Power, to Thee we bow; How frail are we! how glorious Thou! No more the Sons of Earth shall dare With an eternal God compare. Scripture: Job 4:17-21 Languages: English
