Vain Man on foolish Pleasures bent

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P107c (1766) Topics: Luxury pardoned 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 Pow'rs are lost, And fainting Life draws near the Dust. 3 The Glutton groans, and loaths to eat, His Soul abhors delicious Meat; Nature, with heavy Loads opprest, Would yield to death to be releas'd. 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 Med'cines could effect the Cure So quick, so easy, or so sure; The deadly Sentence GOD repeals, He sends his sov'reign Word and heals. 6 O may the Sons of Men record The wond'rous Goodness of the Lord! And let their thankful Off'rings prove How they adore their Maker's Love. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English
