Backward with humble shame we look

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #82 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Job 14:4 Lyrics: Backward with humble shame we look On our original; How is our nature dashed and broke In our first father's fall! To all that's good averse and blind, But prone to all that's ill What dreadful darkness veils our mind! How obstinate our will! [Conceived in sin, O wretched state! Before we draw our breath The first young pulse begins to beat Iniquity and death. How strong in our degen'rate blood The old corruption reigns, And, mingling with the crooked flood, Wanders through all our veins.] [Wild and unwholesome as the root Will all the branches be; How can we hope for living fruit From such a deadly tree? What mortal power from things unclean Can pure productions bring? Who can command a vital stream From an infected spring?] Yet, mighty God! thy wondrous love Can make our nature clean, While Christ and grace prevail above The tempter, death, and sin. The second Adam shall restore The ruins of the first; Hosannah to that sovereign power That new-creates our dust!

Man dieth and wasteth away

Author: Morris Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #883 (1873) Scripture: Job 14:4 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.

Few, few and evil are thy days

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #215 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Scripture: Job 14:1-3 Lyrics: Few, few and evil are thy days, Man, of a woman born; Peril and trouble haunt thy ways; Forth, like a flower at morn, The tender infant springs to light, Youth blossoms to the breeze, Age, withering age, is cropt ere night; Man like a shadow flees. 215 And dost thou look on such an one? Will God to judgment call A worm, for what a worm hath done Against the Lord of all? As fail the waters from the deep, As summer-brooks run dry, Man lieth down in dreamless sleep, His life is vanity. Man lieth down, no more to wake, Till yonder arching sphere Shall, with a roll of thunder, break, And nature disappear. O hide me, till Thy wrath be past, Thou who canst slay or save! Hide me, where hope may anchor fast, In my Redeemer's grave. Topics: Life and death and judgment Languages: English

The only Perfect

Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #LXVII (1792) Scripture: Job 14:4 First Line: Could I of all perfection boast Lyrics: 1 Could I of all perfection boast, As pure as that which Adam lost, I'd sacrifice it to thy blood, My Christ, my all, my only good. 2 Were I as Abram, strong in faith, And boldly stedfast unto death; I'd bid my faithfulness adieu, And Jesus only faithful view. 3 If I more meek than Moses were, Quite free from anger, strife, or fear; Yet this I gladly would despise, And Jesus's meekness only prize. 4 Was I as Job submissive still, Patient, resign'd in ev'ry ill; Yet all should fade before his cross, Compar'd with him, it is but dross. 5 If I was wise as Solomon, Like him with zeal and ardour shone; Like him I'd vain and foolish see My wisdom, zeal, yea all but Thee. 6 Had I an Angel's purity; Yea even this I would deny; Nor good confess in name or thing, But Christ my Lord, my life, my King.
