Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Death and pride First Line: Why doth the Man of Riches grow Lyrics: 1 Why doth the Man of Riches grow To Insolence and Pride, To see his Wealth and Honours flow With ev'ry rising Tide? 2 [Why doth he treat the Poor with Scorn, Made of the self-same Clay, And boast as though his Flesh was born Of better Dust than they?] 3 Not all his Treasures can procure His Soul a short Reprieve, Redeem from Death one guilty Hour, Or make his Brother live. 4 [Life is a Blessing can't be sold, The Ransom is too high; Justice will ne'er be brib'd with Gold, That Man may never die.] 5 He sees the Brutish and the Wise, The Tim'rous and the Brave, Quit their Possessions, close their Eyes, And hasten to the Grave. 6 Yet 'tis his inward Thought and Pride, "My House shall ever stand; "And that my Name may long abide, "I'll give it to my Land." 7 Vain are his Thoughts, his Hopes are lost, How soon his Mem'ry dies! His Name is written in the Dust Where his own Carcase lies.] Pause. 8 This is the Folly of their Way; And yet their Sons, as vain, Approve the Words their Fathers say, And act their Works again. 9 Men void of Wisdom, and of Grace, If Honour raise them high, Live like the Beast, a thoughtless Race, And like the Beast they die. 10 [Laid in the Grave like silly Sheep, Death feeds upon them there, Till the last Trumpet breaks their Sleep In Terror and Despair.] Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14

A Vindication of God's Ways

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Pride First Line: God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure Lyrics: 1 God loveth the righteous, His goodness is sure, He never forsaketh the good and the pure; Yet once my faith faltered, I envied the proud, In doubt and disquiet my spirit was bowed. 2 The wicked are prospered and firm is their strength, No pangs do they suffer, though death come at length; They are not in trouble as other men are, The plagues of their fellows they view from afar. 3 In garments of boasting and violence decked, With wealth more abundant than heart could expect, They scoff, and the helpless they proudly oppress, The heav'ns and the earth they assume to possess. 4 Despising God's people, they cause them to drain The cup of oppression, injustice, and pain; They question God's knowledge and boldly defy The might and the justice of God the Most High. 5 The wicked, grown wealthy, have comfort and peace, While I, daily chastened, see troubles increase, And, wronging God's children, I cried in my pain, That clean hands are worthless and pure hearts are vain. 6 I went to God's temple: my doubts were dispelled, The end of life's journey I clearly beheld; I saw in what peril ungodly men stand With sudden destruction and ruin at hand. 7 As when one awaking forgetteth his dream, So God will despise them, though great they may seem; My envy was senseless, my grief was for nought, Because I was faithless, and foolish my thought. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: ST. DENIO
