Hymn 5

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Scripture: Job 1:21 First Line: Naked as from the earth we came Lyrics: Naked as from the earth we came, And crept to life at first, We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favors borrowed now, To be repaid anon. 'Tis God that lifts our comforts high, Or sinks them in the grave; He gives, and, blessed be his name! He takes but what he gave. Peace, all our angry passions, then; Let each rebellious sigh Be silent at his sovereign will, And every murmur die. If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread; And we'll adore the justice too That strikes our comforts dead.

Man dieth and wasteth away

Author: Morris Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Job 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Man dieth and wasteth away, And where is he?--hark! from the skies I hear a voice answer and say, The spirit of man never dies! His body, which came from the earth, Must mingle again with the sod; His soul, which in heaven had birth, Returns to the bosom of God. 2 No terror has death, or the grave, To those who believe in the Lord-- Who know the Redeemer can save, And lean on the faith of his word: While ashes to ashes, and dust We give unto dust, in our gloom The light of salvation we trust, Which hangs like a lamp in the tomb. 3 O Lord God Almighty, to thee We turn as our solace above; The waters may fail from the sea, But never thy fountains of love: Oh, teach us thy will to obey, And sing with one heart and accord,-- He gave, and he taketh away, And praised be the name of the Lord.

The ancient prince of hell hath risen with purpose fell; strong mail of craft and power he weareth in this hour; on earth is not his fellow. 2 With force of arms we nothing can, full soon were we down-ridden; but for us fights the proper Man, whom God himself hath bidden. Ask ye who is this same? Christ Jesus is his name, the Lord Sabaoth's Son; he, and no other one, shall conquer in the battle. 3 And were this world all devils o'er, and watching to devour us, we lay it not to heart so sore; they cannot overpower us. And let the prince of ill look grim as e'er he will, he harms us not a whit; for why? his doom is writ; a word shall quickly slay him. 4 God's word, for all their craft and force, one moment will not linger, but, spite of hell, shall have its course; 'tis written by his finger. And, though they take our life, goods, honour, children, wife, yet is their profit small; these things shall vanish all: the city of God remaineth.
