And oft endur'd the Grief;
But when thy Hand has prest me sore,
Thy Grace was my Relief.

Thy sov'reign Pow'r to save;
At thy Command I venture down
Securely to the Grave.

My flesh shall be thy Care;
These withering Limbs with Thee I trust,
To raise 'em strong and fair.

GOD of my Childhood, and my Youth
Sin like a venomous disease
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #91 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Courage in death; Hope of resurrection; Resurrection of the saints; Death and the resurrection; Resurrection and death; Aged saint's reflection and hope; Christ our strength and righteousness; Old age and resurrection; Psalm for old age; Righteousness from Christ; Strength from Christ Lyrics:
Sin, like a venomous disease,
Infects our vital blood;
The only balm is sovereign grace,
And the physician, God.
Our beauty and our strength are fled,
And we draw near to death;
But Christ the Lord recalls the dead
With his almighty breath.
Madness by nature reigns within,
The passions burn and rage,
Till God's own Son, with skill divine,
The inward fire assuage.
[We lick the dust, we grasp the wind,
And solid good despise;
Such is the folly of the mind,
Till Jesus makes us wise.
We give our souls the wounds they feel,
We drink the pois'nous gall,
And rush with fury down to hell;
But Heav'n prevents the fall.]
[The man possessed among the tombs
Cuts his own flesh, and cries;
He foams and raves, till Jesus comes,
And the foul spirit flies.]
Scripture: Psalm 71:22-24 Languages: English
