Dust to Dust, the Mortal Dies

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #97 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Dust to dust, the mortal dies, Both the foolish and the wise; None forever can remain, Each must leave his hoarded gain. Yet within their heart they say That their houses are for aye, That their dwelling places grand Shall for generations stand. 2 To their lands they give their name In the hope of lasting fame; But man's honor quickly flies, Like the lowly beast he dies. Though such folly mark their way, Men approve of what they say; Death their shepherd, they the sheep, He within his fold will keep. 3 O'er them soon shall rule the just, All their beauty turn to dust; God my waiting soul shall save, He will raise me from the grave. Let no fear disturb your peace Though one's house and wealth increase; Death shall end his fleeting day, He shall carry naught away. 4 Though in life he wealth attained, Though the praise of men he gained, He shall join those gone before, Where the light shall shine no more. Crowned with honor though he be, Highly gifted, strong and free, If he be not truly wise, Man is like the beast that dies. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHMAN

In Vision to His Saints God Spake

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #181 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 2 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And nevermore My grace remove. Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his power and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 3 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My firstborn son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure; His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain. 4 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove. Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake. 5 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away. On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down. 6 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway. Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 7 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 8 I sing of mercies that endure Forever builded firm and sure, Of faithfulness that never dies, Established changeless in the skies. Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

Lord, Through All the Generations

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #185 (1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, through all the generations Of the children of our race, In our fears and tribulations, Thou hast been our dwelling-place. Ere the vast and wide creation By Thy word was cased to be, Or the mountains held their station, Thou art God eternally. 2 Each succeeding generation At Thy mighty word appears; Thou dost count in time's duration One day as a thousand years. Death, with swift and sudden warning, Calls us from life's dream away, Like the grass, green in the morning, Withered ere the close of day. 3 Long the clouds of evil lower; Bless us now with gladsome days; Let Thy servants see Thy power, Let their children learn Thy praise. On us let the grace and beauty Of the Lord our God remain, Strengthen us for noble duty That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: EMMELAR (RICHARDS)

Thou, O Lord, Art God Alone

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #208 (1934) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Thou, O Lord, art God alone; Everlasting is Thy throne; Through the ages men shall sing Praise to heaven's eternal King. Thou, enthroned above the skies, Wilt for Zion's help arise; Let Thy grace to her appear, For the promised time is near. 2 If with love compassionate We, Thy servants, mourn her state, Wilt not Thou, O gracious Lord, Help in Zion's need afford? Lord, Thy glory shall appear, Kings and nations then shall fear; And Thy Name shall be adored When Thy Zion is restored. 3 This all ages shall record For the glory of the Lord; Thou dost hear the humble prayer, For the helpless Thou dost care. Thou eternal art, and great, Heaven and earth Thou didst create, Heaven and earth shall pass away, Changeless Thou shalt live for aye. 4 As one lays a garment by, Thou wilt change the starry sky Like a vesture worn and old; But Thy years shall ne'er be told. Thou wilt make Thy servants' race Ever live before Thy face, And forever at Thy side Children's children shall abide. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (ELVEY)

[Refrain] 3 Some day, when fades the golden sun Beneath the rosy-tinted west, My blessed Lord will say, “Well done!” And I shall enter into rest. [Refrain] 4 Some day: till then I’ll watch and wait, My lamp all trimmed and burning bright, That when my Savior opes the gate, My soul to Him may take its flight.
