Man's mortality, and Christ's eternity; or, Saints die, but Christ and the Church lives

Weakens our strength amidst the race;
Disease and death at his command
Arrest us, and cut short our days.
2 Spare us, O Lord, aloud we pray,
Nor let our sun go down at noon;
Thy years are one eternal day,
And must thy children die so soon?
3 Yet in the midst of death and grief
This thought our sorrow should assuage;
"Our Father and our Saviour live;
:Christ is the same through every age."
4 'Twas he this earth's foundation laid;
Heaven is the building of his hand;
This earth grows old, these heavens shall fade;
And all be chang'd at his command.
5 The starry curtains of the sky,
Like garments, shall be laid aside:
But still thy throne stands firm on high;
Thy church forever must abide.
6 Before thy face thy church shall live;
And on thy throne thy children reign;
This dying world shall they survive,
And the dead saints be rais'd again. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28 Languages: English

How short are ages in thy sight!

Cut down ere night to fill the tomb.

And Justice grows severe,
Thy dreadful Wrath exceeds our Thoughts,
And burns beyond our Fear.
2 Thine Anger turns our Frame to Dust,
By one Offence to Thee
Adam, with all his Sons, have lost
Their Immortality.
3 Life, like a vain Amusement, flies,
A Fable or a Song;
By swift Degrees our Nature dies,
Nor can our Joys be long.
4 'Tis but a few whose Days amount
To threescore Years and ten;
And all beyond that short Account
Is Sorrow, Toil and Pain.
5 [Our Vitals with laborious Strife
Bear up the crazy Load,
And drag those poor Remains of Life
Along the tiresome Road.]
6 Almighty GOD, reveal thy Love,
And not thy Wrath alone;
Oh! let our sweet Experience prove
The Mercies of thy Throne.
7 Our Souls would learn the heav'nly Art
T' improve the Hours we have,
That we may act the wiser Part,
And live beyond the Grave. Scripture: Psalm 90:8-12 Languages: English

Earth is a tiresome Place:
How long shall we, thy Children, mourn
Our Absence from thy Face?
2 Let Heav'n succeed our painful Years,
Let Sin and Sorrow cease,
And in Proportion to our Tears
So make our Joys increase.
3 Thy Wonders to thy Servants show,
Make thy own Work complete,
Then shall our Souls thy Glory know,
And own thy Love was great.
4 Then shall we shine before thy Throne
In all thy Beauty, Lord;
And the poor Service we have done
Meet a divine Reward. Scripture: Psalm 90:13-17 Languages: English

Thou maker of my frame;
I would survey life's narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
2 A span is all that we can boast,
An inch or two of time:
Man is but vanity and dust
In all his flower and prime.
3 See the vain race of mortals move
Like shadows o'er the plain;
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all the noise is vain.
4 Some walk in honour's gaudy show,
Some dig for golden ore,
They toil for heirs, they know not who,
And strait are seen no more.
5 What should I wish or wait for then
From creatures, earth and dust?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.
6 Now I forbid my carnal hope,
My fond desires recal;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my all. Scripture: Psalm 39:4-7 Languages: English
