A Worldling, wretched, vile and base

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 A Worldling, wretched, vile and base, Not subject to restraining grace; But yielded to his lusts and pride, And set all fear of God aside. 2 Though he had riches laid in store, Yet no compassion on the poor! A beggar in a helpless state, Found no assistance at his gate. 3 The worldling spent his precious days, In Luxuries, in sports and plays-- While the poor beggar lay distress'd, With poverty and sores oppress'd. 4 But to them both it proved strange, To meet with such a sudden change; The worldling sent to endless pain, The beggar plac'd with Christ to reign. 5 This is the sinners awful case: They who neglect the time of grace; They cry for help, but O too late! When once they share their lot and fate. 6 The worldlilng pray'd to get relief, To metigate his pain and grief; But father Abr'am could not grant that cooling drop which he did want. 7 If we seek heaven here on earth, We loose the heav'n of greater worth; To bear the Cross with Jesus here, Intitles us to glory there. 8 Dear Saviour, make us truly wise, All sinful pleasures to despise-- The greatest evil we can do: That is to choose our heav'n below.

And never worship at thy throne, Nor fear thine awful power? Great God! appear to their surprise; Reveal thy dreadful name; Let them no more thy wrath despise, Nor turn our hope to shame. Dost thou not dwell among the just? And yet our foes deride, That we should make thy name our trust; Great God! confound their pride. O that the joyful day were come To finish our distress! When God shall bring his children home Our songs shall never cease. Topics: Atheism practical; Persecutors their folly; Practical atheism; Sin of nature; Sin universal; Wickedness of man

Human these, angelic those, Where for refuge shall we flee? Christ our great redemption see! 6 Seraphs, flames of sacred fire, View this myst'ry with desire; Hark! the bright enraptur'd throng Catch, and raise the grateful song. 7 O ye thrones of heav'nly light, Since you're sav'd from endless night, And since we are rais'd to you, Let us still the song pursue.

Death may dissolve my body now

Author: Isaac Watts; Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: [Death may dissolve my body now, And bear my spirit home; Why do my minutes move so slow, Nor my salvation come? With heav'nly weapons I have fought The battles of the Lord; Finished my course, and kept the faith, And wait the sure reward.] God has laid up in heav'n for me A crown which cannot fade; The righteous Judge at that great day Shall place it on my head. Nor hath the King of grace decreed This prize for me alone; But all that love and long to see Th' appearance of his Son. Jesus the Lord shall guard me safe From every ill design; And to his heav'nly kingdom keep This feeble soul of mine. God is my everlasting aid, And hell shall rage in vain; To him be highest glory paid And endless praise--Amen.

Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl

Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Es spricht der Unweisen Mund wohl, den rechten Gott wir meinen, doch ist ihr Herz Unglaubens voll, mit That sie Ihn verneinen. Ihr Wesen ist verderbet zwar, für Gott ist es ein Gräuel gar, es thut ihr'r keiner kein Gut. 2 Gott selbst vom Himmel sah herab auf aller Menschen Kinden, zu schaen sie Er sich begab, ob Er jemand würd' finden, der sein'n Verstand gerichtet hätt', mit Ernst nach Gottes Worten thät, und fragt nach seinem Willen. 3 Da war niemand auf rechter Bahn, sie war'n all' ausgeschritten, ein jeder ging nach seinem Wahn und hielt verlorne Sitten. Es thät ihr'r keiner doch kein Gut, wiewohl gar viel betrog der Muth, ihr Thun sollt' Gott gefallen. 4 Wie lang' wollen unwissen sein, die solche Müh' aufladen, und fressen dafür das Volk mein, und nähr'n sich mit sein'm Schaden? Es steht ihr Trauen nicht auf Gott, sie rufen Ihm nicht in der Noth, sie woll'n sich selbs versorgen. 5 Darum ist ihr Herz nimmer still, und steht all'zeit in Furchten, Gott bei den Frommen bleiben will, dem sie mit Glauben g'horchen. Ihr aber schmäht des Armen Rath, und höhnet alles, was er sagt, daß Gott sein Trost ist worden. 6 Wer soll Israel dem Armen zu Zion Heil erlangen? Gott wird sich sein's Volks erbarmen, und lösen die Gefangenen. Das wird Er thun durch seinen Sohn, davon wird Jacob Wonne han, und Israel sich freuen. 7 Ehr' sei Gott Vater allezeit, auch Christo eingeboren, und dem Tröster, heiligem Geist, gar hoch in's Himmels Throne, wie es im Anfang und auch jetzt gewesen ist und bleibet stets, bis an der Welt End', Amen.

Psalm 14 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals First Line: Fools in their heart believe and say Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: Fools in their heart believe and say "That all religion's vain; There is no God that reigns on high, Or minds th' affairs of men." From thoughts so dreadful and profane, Corrupt discourse proceeds; And in their impious hands are found Abominable deeds. The Lord from his celestial throne Looked down on things below, To find the man that sought his grace, Or did his justice know. By nature all are gone astray, Their practice all the same; There's none that fears his Maker's hand; There's none that loves his name. Their tongues are used to speak deceit, Their slanders never cease; How swift to mischief are their feet, Nor know the paths of peace! Such seeds of sin (that bitter root) In every heart are found; Nor can they bear diviner fruit, Till grace refine the ground.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Fools, in their hearts, say there's no GOD Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Fools in their hearts say, there's no GOD, and so corrupt they grow, Abominable sins commit, and nothing good they do. 2 From heav'n JEHOVAH looked down on sons of men, to see If any who do understand, or seek to GOD there be. 3 They altogether filthy are; they all are backward* gone; There are not any that do good, no verily, not one. 4 The workers of iniquity, do they not know at all? That they my people eat as bread, nor on the LORD will call. 5 Yet they shall with a grievous fear appalled greatly be, When GOD among the righteous race they once shall come to see. 6 The counsel of the poor oppress'd, ye mock'd and try'd to shame; Because the LORD their refuge is, and they hope in his name. 7 Who will from Zion Isr'el save? when back the LORD shall bring His captives; Jacob will rejoyce, and Isr'el gladly sing.
