1 No, I shall envy them no more Who grow profanely great, Tho' they increase their golden store, And rise to wondrous height. 2 They taste of all the joys that grow Upon this earthly clod! Well, they may search the creature thro', For they have ne'er a God. 3 Shake off the thoughts of dying too, And think your life your own, But death comes hast'ning on to you, To mow your glory down. 4 Yes, you must bow your stately head, Away your spirit flies, And no kind angel near your bed, To bear it to the skies. 5 Go now, and boast of all your stores, And tell how bright you shine: Your heaps of glitt'ring dust are your's, And my Redeemer's mine. | The Cyber Hymnal #11752 Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #II.56 (1806) The Psalms of David: imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship (27th ed.) #II.LVI (1766) Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books: I. collected from the scriptures, II. composed on divine subjects, III. prepared for the Lord's Supper #II.LVI (1793) The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns: collected from various authors, designed for the worship of God, and for the edification of Christians (1st Ed.) #CXC (1791) |
