Religion and Justice, Goodness and Truth; or, Duties to God and Man; or, the qualifications of a Christian

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #25 (1740) Topics: Duty to God and Man; Faithfulness of man First Line: Who shall ascend thy heavn'ly Place Lyrics: 1 Who shall ascend thy heav'nly Place, Great GOD, and dwell before thy Face? The Man that minds Religion now, And humbly walks with GOD below. 2 Whose Hands are pure, whose Heart is clean; Whose Lips still speak the Thing they mean; No Slanders dwell upon his Tongue; He hates to do his Neighbour Wrong. 3 [Scarce will he trust an ill Report, Nor vents it to his Neighbour's Hurt: Sinners of State he can despise, But Saints are honour'd in his Eyes.] 4 [Firm to his Word he ever stood, And always makes his Promise good; Nor dares to change the Thing he swears, Whatever Pain or Loss he bears.] 5 [He never deals in bribing Gold, And mourns that Justice should be sold; While others gripe and grind the Poor, Sweet Charity attends his door.] 6 He loves his Enemies, and prays For those that curse him to his Face: And doth to all Men still the same That he would hope or wish from them. 7 Yet, when his holiest Works are done, His Soul depends on Grace alone; This is the Man thy Face shall see, And dwell for ever, Lord, with Thee. Scripture: Psalm 15 Languages: English

Why doth the Man of Riches grow

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P49a (1766) Topics: Mortality of man 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 Languages: English

Ah, how shall fallen man

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #63 (1845) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Fall and Depravity of Man Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God! If He contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise. 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with Thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake! The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake! 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet him, and escape; But through the Savior's blood. Scripture: Job 9:2-6 Languages: English

Like Yesterday's departed Light, Or the last Watch of ending Night.] Pause. 5 Death, like an overflowing Stream, Sweeps us away; our Life's a Dream; An empty Tale; a Morning Flow'r, Cut down and wither'd in an Hour. 6 [Our Age to seventy Years is set; How short the Term! How frail the State! And if to Eighty we arrive, We rather sigh and groan, than live. 7 But O! how oft thy Wrath appears, And cuts off our expected Years! Thy Wrath awakes our humble Dread: We fear that Pow'r that strikes us dead.] 8 Teach us, O Lord, how frail is Man; And kindly lengthen out our Span, 'Till a wise Care of Piety Fit us to die, and dwell with Thee.
