Intemperance punished and pardoned; or, A Psalm for the Glutton and the Drunkard

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #191a (1786) Topics: Intemperance and pardoned; Intemperance and pardoned First Line: Vain man on foolish pleasures bent Lyrics: 1 Vain man on foolish pleasures bent, Prepares for his own punishment; What pains, what loathsome maladies From luxury and lust arise! 2 The drunkard feels his vitals waste; Yet drowns his health to please his taste; Till all his active powers are lost, And fainting life draws near the dust. 3 The glutton groans, and loaths to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads opprest Would yield to death to be releas'd. 4 Then how the frighten'd sinners fly To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. 5 No med'cines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure: The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends his sovereign word, and heals. 6 Oh may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful offering prove How they adore their Maker's love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English

Intemperance, like a raging flood

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #969 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ravages of Intemperance Lyrics: 1 Intemp'rance, like a raging flood, Is sweeping o'er the land; Its dire effects, in tears and blood, Are traced on every hand. 2 It still flows on, and bears away Ten thousands to their doom: Who shall the mighty torrent stay, And disappoint the tomb? 3 Almighty God! no hand but thine Can check the flowing tide; Stretch out thine arm of power divine, And bid the flood subside. 4 Dry up the source from whence it flows, Destroy its fountain-head: That dire Intemp'rance and its woes No more the earth o'erspread.

Scripture: Psalm 18:1-9 Languages: English
