The pious thoughts I feel,
Lest scoffers should th' occasion take
To mock my holy zeal.
Yet if some proper hour appear,
I'll not be overawed,
But let the scoffing sinners hear
That I can speak for God.

Teach me the measure of my days,
Thou Maker of my frame;
I would survey life's narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
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.
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.
Some walk in honor's gaudy show,
Some dig for golden ore;
They toil for heirs, they know not who,
And straight are seen no more.
What should I wish or wait for, then,
From creatures earth and dust?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.
Now I forbid my carnal hope,
My fond desires recall;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my all.

God of my life, look gently down,
Behold the pains I feel;
But I am dumb before thy throne,
Nor dare dispute thy will.
Diseases are thy servants, Lord,
They come at thy command;
I'll not attempt a murm'ring word
Against thy chast'ning hand.
Yet I may plead with humble cries,
Remove thy sharp rebukes;
My strength consumes, my spirit dies,
Through thy repeated strokes.
Crushed as a moth beneath thy hand,
We moulder to the dust;
Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand,
And all our beauty's lost.
[This mortal life decays apace,
How soon the bubble's broke!
Adam and all his num'rous race
Are vanity and smoke.]
I'm but a sojourner below,
As all my fathers were;
May I be well prepared to go,
When I the summons hear.
But if my life be spared awhile,
Before my last remove,
Thy praise shall be my business still,
And I'll declare thy love.

Now in the heat of youthful blood
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #592 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Afflictions submission to them; Humility and submission; Submission to sickness Lyrics:
Now in the heat of youthful blood
Remember your Creator God:
Behold, the months come hast'ning on,
When you shall say, "My joys are gone!"
Behold, the aged sinner goes,
Laden with guilt and heavy woes,
Down to the regions of the dead,
With endless curses on his head.
The dust returns to dust again;
The soul, in agonies of pain,
Ascends to God, not there to dwell,
But hears her doom, and sinks to hell.
Eternal King! I fear thy name;
Teach me to know how frail I am;
And when my soul must hence remove,
Give me a mansion in thy love.

Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #594 (1835) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Afflictions submission to them; Humility and submission; Submission to sickness Lyrics:
Lo! the young tribes of Adam rise,
And through all nature rove
Fulfil the wishes of their eyes,
And taste the joys they love.
They give a loose to wild desires;
But let the sinners know
The strict account that God requires
Of all the works they do.
The Judge prepares his throne on high,
The frighted earth and seas
Avoid the fury of his eye,
And flee before his face.
How shall I bear that dreadful day,
And stand the fiery test?
I give all mortal joys away,
To be for ever blessed.

Of heaven and earth and seas,
Thy providence confirms thy word,
And answers thy decrees.
2 The things so long foretold
By David are fulfill'd;
When Jews and Gentiles join'd to slay
Jesus, thine holy Child.]
3 Why did the Gentiles rage,
And Jews with one accord
Join all their councils to destroy
Th' Anointed of the Lord?
4 Rulers and Kings agree
To form a vain design;
Against the Lord their powers unite,
Against his Christ they join.
5 The Lord derides their rage,
And will support his throne;
He that hath rais'd him from the dead,
Hath own'd him for his son.
Pause.
6 Now he's ascended high,
To rule the subject earth;
The merit of his blood he pleads,
And pleads his heavenly birth.
7 Beneath his sovereign sway
The Gentile nations bend;
Far as the world's remotest bounds,
His kingdom shall extend.
8 The nations that rebel,
Must feel his iron rod;
He'll vindicate those honours well
Which he receiv'd from God.
9 [Be wise, ye rulers, now,
And worship at his throne;
With trembling joy, ye people bow,
To God's exalted Son.
10 If once his wrath arise,
Ye perish on the place;
Then blessed is the soul that flies
For refuge to his grace.] Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English
