The Frailty and Shortness of Life
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #161 (1740) Topics: Frailty of Man First Line: Lord, what a feeble Piece Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a feeble Piece
Is this our mortal Frame!
Our Life how poor a Trifle 'tis,
That scarce deserves the Name.
2 Alas, the brittle Clay
That built our Body first!
And every Month, and every Day,
'Tis mould'ring back to Dust.
3 Our Moments fly apace,
Nor will our Minutes stay;
Just like a Flood. our hasty Days
Are sweeping us away.
4 Well, if our Days must fly,
We'll keep their End in Sight,
We'll spend them all in Wisdom's Way,
And let them speed their Flight.
5 They'll waft us sooner o'er
This Life's tempestuous Sea;
Soon we shall reach the peaceful Shore
Of blest Eternity. Scripture: Psalm 90:5 Languages: English

and all within me, praise his holy name.
Sing praise to God, forget not all his mercies;
his pardoning grace and saving love proclaim.
Refrain:
Praise him, all angels, wondrous in might;
praise him, you servants who in his will delight.
2 Good is the Lord and full of kind compassion,
most slow to anger, plenteous in love.
Rich is his grace to all who humbly seek him,
boundless and endless as the heavens above. Refrain
3 His love is like a father's to his children,
tender and kind to all who fear his name;
for well he knows our weakness and our frailty;
he knows that we are dust, he knows our frame. Refrain
4 We fade and die like flowers that grow in beauty,
like tender grass that soon will disappear;
but evermore the love of God is changeless,
still shown to those who look to him in fear. Refrain
5 High in the heavens his throne is fixed forever;
his kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole.
Praise to the Lord through all his wide dominion;
forever praise his holy name, my soul. Refrain

The Tender Love a Father Has
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #583 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has
for all his children dear
such love the Lord bestows on those
who worship him in fear.
2 The Lord remembers we are dust,
and all our frailty knows;
our life is like the tender grass,
and as the flower it grows.
3 The flower is withered by the wind
that smites with blighting breath;
so we are quickly swept away
before the blast of death.
4 Unchanging is the love of God,
from age to age the same,
displayed to all who do his will
and reverence his name.
5 Those who his gracious covenant keep
the Lord will ever bless;
their children's children shall rejoice
to see his righteousness.

O God, our help in ages past
Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #47 (1917) Topics: Human Frailty; Human Frailty Lyrics: 1. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home:
2. Under the shadow of Thy throne,
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient in Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
3. Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4. A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5. The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their cares and fears,
Are carried downward by the flood,
And lost in following years.
6. Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
7. O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANN
O God, our help in ages past

My never ceasing Songs shall show
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P89b (1766) Topics: Frailty of Man; Frailty of Man Lyrics: 1 My never ceasing Songs shall show
The Mercies of the Lord;
And make succeeding Ages know
How faithful is his Word.
2 The sacred Truths his Lips pronounce
Shall firm as Heav'n endure;
And if he speak a Oromise once,
Th' eternal Grace is sure.
3 How long the Race of David held
The promis'd Jewish Throne!
But there's a nobler Cov'nant seal'd
To David's greater Son.
4 His Seed for ever shall possess
A Throne above the Skies;
The meanest Subjects of his Grace
Shall to that Glory rise.
5 Lord GOD of Hosts, thy wond'rous Ways
Are sung by Saints above;
And Saints on Earth their Honours raise
To thy unchanging Love. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English
