The Brevity of Human Life

Hymnal: PS1912 #105 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: I constant care will take Lyrics: 1 I constant care will take, Lest sinful words they hear; My lips their silence shall not break While wicked men are near. 2 I dumb and silent stood, No words of mine were heard; I e'en refrained from speaking good, Till sorrow's deeps were stirred. 3 My heart was all on fire, With burning tho'ts suppressed; My tongue was loosed, my soul's desire I then to God addressed. 4 My end, Lord, make me know, My days, how soon they fall; And to my thoughtful spirit show How weak I am and frail. 5 To Thy eternal thought My days are but a span; To Thee my years appear as nought, A breath at best is man. 6 Man lives in empty show, His anxious care is vain, He hoards his wealth, and does not know Who shall possess his gain.

My hope is in thy Name; From all my sins deliver me, Nor put my soul to shame. 2 I suffered silently, Because Thy will is best; Remove Thy heavy stroke from me, For I am sore distressed. 3 When sin thou dost repay And chasten and restrain, Man's beauty quickly fades away; Yea, human life is vain. 4 O Lord, regard my fears, And answer my request; Turn not in silence from my tears, But give the mourner rest. 5 I am a stranger here, Dependent on Thy grace, A pilgrim, as my fathers were, With no abiding place. 6 O spare me and restore My failing strength, I pray; Ere I go hence and be no more, The hand of judgment stay.

Be those who seek to hurt my soul Dismayed and put to flight, And they themselves be put to shame Who in my woe delight. 3 Let all who seek Thee now rejoice, Yea, glad in Thee abide.

The Friend of the Poor

Hymnal: PS1912 #113 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How blest the man who thoughtfully Lyrics: 1 How blest the man who thoughtfully The poor and weak befriends; Deliv'rance in the evil day To him Jehovah sends. 2 The Lord will keep him, guard his life, On earth he shall be blest; The Lord will not surrender him By foes to be distressed. 3 Upon the bed of suffering Jehovah will sustain, And in his sickness God will soothe The weariness and pain. 4 O Lord, to Thee my cry ascends, Let me Thy mercy see; Heal Thou my soul, for I have sinned, I have offended Thee. 5 My enemies against me speak, And they my life have scorned; They wish my name to pass away, Unhonored and unmourned. 6 My foe, deceitful, visits me, By seeming kindness led, His heart intent on gathering Some hurtful news to spread. 7 My foes, together whispering, Their evil plans devise; Disease, they say, cleaves fast to him, Laid low, he shall not rise. 8 Yea, he who was my chosen friend, In whom I put my trust, Who ate my bread, now turns in wrath To crush me in the dust. 9 Do Thou, Jehovah, show me grace, And raise me up again, That I with justice may requite These base and wicked men. 10 By this I know assuredly That I am loved by Thee, Because my foe does not exult In triumph over me. 11 And as for me, in uprightness Thou dost uphold me well, And settest me before Thy face For evermore to dwell. 12 Blest be Jehovah, Israel's God For evermore. Amen. Let age to age eternally Repeat His praise. Amen.

Thristings for God

Hymnal: PS1912 #114 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: As thirsts the hart for water brooks Lyrics: 1 As thirsts the hart for water brooks, So thirsts my soul, O God for Thee; It seeks for God, and ever looks And longs the living God to see, And longs the living God to see. 2 Far from the courts of God, my tears Have been my food by night and day, While constantly with bitter sneers, Where is thy God, the scoffers say, Where is thy God, the scoffers say. 3 With grief I think of days gone by, when oft I trod the hallowed way To Zion, praising God on high With throngs who kept the holy day, With throngs who kept the holy day. 4 O why art thou cast down, my soul, And why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me. 5 Since, O my God, my soul is bowed, In exile far, with bitter grief, I turn my thoughts to Thy abode For consolation and relief, For consolation and relief. 6 With mighty voice deep calls to deep, While raging storms Thy judgments tell; The angry billows o'er me leap, The waves of sorrow near me swell, The waves of sorrow near me swell. 7 Thought troubles surge, yet through the day The Lord His gracious help will give, And in the night my heart shall pray And sing to Him in Whom I live, And sing to Him in Whom I live. 8 To God my Rock I cry and say, O why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I mourning on my way, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee, Oppressed by foes that know not Thee? 9 With anguish as from piercing sword Reproach of bitter foes I hear, While day by day, with taunting word Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer, Where is thy God, the scoffers sneer. 10 O why art thou cast down, my soul, And why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and Him extol, Who gives His saving help to me, Who gives His saving help to me.
