The rich sinner's Death, and the Saint's Resurrection
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.) #86 (1786) Topics: Life and Riches their Vanity; Riches Their Vanity; Life and Riches their Vanity; Riches Their Vanity First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics: 1 Why do the proud insult the poor,
And boast the large estates they have!
How vain are riches to secure
Their haughty owners from the grave!
2 They can’t redeem one hour from death
With all the wealth in which they trust;
Nor give a dying brother breath,
When God commands him down to dust.
3 There the dark earth and dismal shade
Shall clasp their naked bodies round;
That flesh so delicately fed
Lies cold, and moulders in the ground.
4 Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies,
And leaves his glories in the tomb;
The saints shall in the morning rise,
And find th’ oppressor's awful doom.
5 His honours perish in the dust,
And pomp and beauty, birth and blood;
That glorious day exalts the just
To full dominion o’er the proud.
6 My Saviour shall my life restore,
And raise me from my dark abode;
My flesh and soul shall part no more,
But dwell forever near my God. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English

The Mercies of the Lord;
And make succeeding Ages know
How faithful is his Word.
2 The sacred Truths his Lips pronounce
Shall firm as Heav'n endure;
And if he speak a Oromise once,
Th' eternal Grace is sure.
3 How long the Race of David held
The promis'd Jewish Throne!
But there's a nobler Cov'nant seal'd
To David's greater Son.
4 His Seed for ever shall possess
A Throne above the Skies;
The meanest Subjects of his Grace
Shall to that Glory rise.
5 Lord GOD of Hosts, thy wond'rous Ways
Are sung by Saints above;
And Saints on Earth their Honours raise
To thy unchanging Love. Scripture: Psalm 89 Languages: English
