An Answer to Distrust

Hymnal: PS1912 #95 (1912) First Line: Fret not thyself, nor envious be Lyrics: 1 Fret not thyself, nor envious be, When wicked workers thou shalt see, Who prosper in their way; For like the grass they perish soon, And, like the herb cut down at noon, They wither in a day. 2 Trust in the Lord and still do well, Within the land securely dwell, Feed on His faithfulness; Delight thee also in the Lord, And to thy heart He will accord The good it would possess. 3 Yea, to the Lord thy way is know; Confide in Him Who on the throne Abides in pow'r divine; Thy righteousness He shall display; Resplendent as the light of day, It shall unclouded shine.

Fret not tho' sinners' gains increase; forsake thy wrath, from anger cease; It will to evil tend. 2 The evildoer soon shall die, But those that on the Lord rely Shall all the land obtain; A little while and thou shalt see That wicked men cut off shall be, They shall be sought in vain. 3 Yea, thou shalt soon consider well The place where they were wont to dwell, And it shall not be found; But saints shall all the land possess, And find delight and happiness where fruits of peace abound. 4 The vile may plot against the just who in the Lord Jehovah trust, But God will scorn them all; The Lord their coming day shall see, When broken all their pow'r shall be, And ruin on them fall.

The Righteous and the Evil-Doer

Hymnal: PS1912 #99 (1912) First Line: The wicked, watching for their prey Lyrics: 1 The wicked, watching for their prey, Desire the righteous man to slay, But God is on his side; He will not leave him in their hands, Nor count him guilty when he stands In judgment to be tried. 2 Wait on the Lord and keep His way; He will exalt thee, nor delay To give the land to thee; And when the wicked are cut off, The wicked who against thee scoff, Their judgment thou shalt see. 3 The wicked in great pow'r are seen, Like spreading tree with foliage green That grows in native ground. I looked again, they were no more; I sought the men so proud before, But they could not be found. 4 Mark thou the upright day by day, Behold the perfect in his way; His journey ends in peace. Destroyed at once shall rebels be; Cut off from all posterity, Their very name shall cease. 5 Salvation is from God, alone, Whom as their covert saints have known When by sore troubles tried; The Lord Who helped in troubles past Will save them to the very last, For they in Him confide.

The Frailty of Life

Hymnal: PS1912 #104 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: With firm resolve I held my peace Lyrics: 1 With firm resolve I held my peace And spake not either bad or good, Lest I should utter sinful thoughts While wicked men before me stood. 2 While I was dumb my grief was stirred, My heart grew hot with thought suppressed; The while I mused the fire increased, Then to the Lord I made request. 3 Make me, O Lord, to know my end, Teach me the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am And turn from pride and sinful ways. 4 My time is nothing in Thy sight, Behold, my days are but a span; yea, truly at his best estate, A breath, a fleeting breath, is man. 5 Man's life is passed in vain desire If troubled years be spent for gain; He knows not whose his wealth shall be, And all his toil is but in vain. 6 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? I have no nope except in Thee; Let not ungodly men reproach, From all transgression set me free. 7 Because Thou didst it I was dumb, I spoke no word of rash complaint; Remove Thy stroke away from me, Beneath Thy chastisement I faint. 8 When Thou for his iniquity Rebukest and correctest man, His beauty is consumed away, How weak his strength, how vain his plan. 9 Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry, I weep, be Thou my comforter; I am a stranger here below, A pilgrim as my fathers were. 10 O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath, Deal gently with me, I implore, That I may yet recover strength Ere I go hence and be no more.
