The Frailty and Shortness of Life
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #159a (1786) Topics: Frailty of Man; Frailty of Man First Line: Lord, what a feeble piece Lyrics: 1 Lord, what a feeble piece
Is this our mortal frame!
Our life how poor a trifle 'tis,
That scarce deserves the name!
2 Alas, the brittle clay
That built our body first!
And every month and every day,
'Tis mouldering back to dust.
3 Our moments fly apace,
Our feeble powers decay,
Swift like a flood our hasty days
Are sweeping us away.
4 Yet, if our days must fly,
We'll keep their end in sight,
We'll spend them all in wisdom's way,
And let them speed their flight.
5 They'll waft us sooner o'er
This life's tempestuous sea;
Soon we shall reach the peaceful shore
Of blest eternity. Scripture: Psalm 90:5 Languages: English

To visit him with grace?

How few his hours, how short his span!
Short from the cradle to the grave:
Who can secure his vital breath
Against the bold demands of death
With skill to fly, or power to save?
2 Lord, shall it be forever said,
"The race of man was only made
"For sickness, sorrow, and the dust?"
Are not thy servants day by day
Sent to their graves and turn'd to clay?
Lord, where's thy kindness to the just?
3 Hast thou not promis'd to thy son
And all his seed a heavenly crown?
But flesh and sense indulge dispair;
Forever blessed be the Lord,
That faith can read his holy word,
And find a resurrection there.
4 Forever blessed be the Lord,
Who gives his saints a long reward,
For all their toil, reproach and pain;
Let all below, and all above,
Join to proclaim thy wondrous love,
And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52 Languages: English
