Vain Man, On Foolish Pleasures Bent

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12927 Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 loathes to eat, His soul abhors delicious meat; Nature, with heavy loads oppressed, Would yield to death to be released. 4 Then how the frighted sinners fly, To God for help with earnest cry! He hears their groans, prolongs their breath, And saves them from approaching death. 5 No medicines could effect the cure So quick, so easy, or so sure: The deadly sentence God repeals, He sends His sovereign Word and heals. 6 O may the sons of men record The wondrous goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful offerings prove How they adore their maker’s love. Languages: English Tune Title: QUEEN'S CROSS
