What are possessions, fame, and power
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #97 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 What are possessions, fame, and power
The boasted splendour of the great?
What gold, which dazzled eyes adore,
And seek with endless toils and sweat?
2 Express their charms, declare their use,
That we their merits may descry,
Tell us what good they can produce,
Or what important wants supply.
3 If, wounded with the sense of sin,
To them for pardon we should pray,
Will they restore our peace within,
And wash our guilty stains away?
4 Can they celestial life inspire,
Nature with power divine renew,
With pure and sacred transports fire
Our bosom, and our lust subdue?
5 When with the pangs of death we strive,
And yield all comforts here for lost,
Will they support us, will they give
Kind succour, when we need it most?
6 When at th' Almighty's awful bar
To hear our final doom we stand,
Can they incline the Judge to spare,
Or wrest the vengeance from his hand?
7 Can they protect us from despair,
From the dark reign of death and hell,
Crown us with bliss, and throne us where
The just, in joys immortal, dwell?
8 Sinners, your idols we despise,
If these reliefs they cannot grant;
Why should we such delusions prize,
And pine in everlasting want?
What are possessions, fame, and power
Christ, our Support in Death

Fools In Their Heart Have Said

Fools In Their Heart Have Said
Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #98 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man 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 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 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.
Vain man, on foolish pleasures bent
God, Be Merciful to Me
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #100 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Total Depravity Lyrics: 1 God be merciful to me,
On Thy grace I rest my plea;
Plenteous in compassion Thou,
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
2 My transgressions I confess,
Grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face;
I confess Thy judgment just,
Speechless, I Thy mercy trust.
3 I am evil, born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Savior art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.
4 Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice;
From my sins O hide Thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English Tune Title: AJALON (GETHSEMANE)

Make my spirit right and true;
Cast me not away from Tee,
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Stedfast make my willing heart.
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Stedfast make my willing heart.
4 Sinners then shall learn from me
And return, O God to Thee;
Savior, all my guilt remove,
And my tongue shall sing Thy love;
Touch my silent lips, O Lord,
And my mouth shall praise accord.
Touch my silent lips, O Lord,
And my mouth shall praise accord. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English Tune Title: REFUGE

Fools in Their Heart Have Said
Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #105 (1934) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Total Depravity Lyrics: 1 Fools in their heart have said,
There is no God of might;
Corrupt are they and base their deeds,
In evil they delight.
2 God looked from heaven above
On all the human race,
To see if any understood,
If any sought His face.
3 They all are gone aside,
Corruption doth abound;
There is not one that doeth good,
Not even one is found.
4 These men of evil deeds,
Will they no knowledge gain,
Who feed upon my people's woes,
And prayer to God disdain?
5 The day is drawing nigh
When they shall fear and quail,
For God shall scatter and destroy
Those who His saints assail.
6 Yea, God will put to shame
And make them flee away,
For He will cast them off in wrath
And fill them with dismay.
7 O would that Israel's help
Were out of Zion come!
O would that God might early bring
His captive people home!
8 When God from distant lands
His exiled ones shall bring,
His people shall exultant be,
And gladly they shall sing. Scripture: Psalm 53 Languages: English Tune Title: BADEA
