Pride and Death; or, The Vanity of Life and Riches

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #86 (1740) Topics: Hope and despair in death First Line: Why doth the Man of Riches grow Lyrics: 1 Why doth the Man of Riches grow To Insolence and Pride, To see his Wealth and Honours flow With ev'ry rising Tide? 2 [Why doth he treat the Poor with Scorn, Made of the self-same Clay, And boast as though his Flesh was born Of better Dust than they?] 3 Not all his Treasures can procure His Soul a short Reprieve, Redeem from Death one guilty Hour, Or make his Brother live. 4 [Life is a Blessing can't be sold, The Ransom is too high; Justice will ne'er be brib'd with Gold, That Man may never die.] 5 He sees the Brutish and the Wise, The Tim'rous and the Brave, Quit their Possessions, close their Eyes, And hasten to the Grave. 6 Yet 'tis his inward Thought and Pride, "My House shall ever stand; "And that my Name may long abide, "I'll give it to my Land." 7 Vain are his Thoughts, his Hopes are lost, How soon his Mem'ry dies! His Name is written in the Dust Where his own Carcase lies.] Pause. 8 This is the Folly of their Way; And yet their Sons, as vain, Approve the Words their Fathers say, And act their Works again. 9 Men void of Wisdom, and of Grace, If Honour raise them high, Live like the Beast, a thoughtless Race, And like the Beast they die. 10 [Laid in the Grave like silly Sheep, Death feeds upon them there, Till the last Trumpet breaks their Sleep In Terror and Despair.] Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14 Languages: English

Questions and doubts be heard no more

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #115 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Deliverance from despair; Despair deliverance from it Lyrics: Questions and doubts be heard no more, Let Christ and joy be all our theme; His Spirit seals his gospel sure, To every soul that trusts in him. Jesus, thy witness speaks within; The mercy which thy words reveal Refines the heart from sense and sin, And stamps its own celestial seal. 'Tis God's inimitable hand That molds and forms the heart anew; Blasphemers can no more withstand, But bow, and own thy doctrine true. The guilty wretch that trusts thy blood Finds peace and pardon at the cross; The sinful soul, averse to God, Believes and loves his Maker's laws. Learning and wit may cease their strife, When miracles with glory shine; The voice that calls the dead to life Must be almighty and divine. Scripture: 1 John 5:10 Languages: English
