But there's a nobler covenant seal'd To David's greater son. 4 His seed forever shall possess A throne above the skies; The meanest subjects of his grace Shall to that glory rise. 5 Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways Are sung by saints above; And saints on earth their honors raise To thy unchanging love.

While truth and mercy, join'd in one, Invite us near thy face. Scripture: Psalm 89:7-14 Languages: English

Are not thy servants, day by day Sent to their graves and turn'd to clay? Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? 3 Hast thou not promis'd to thy Son And all his seed, a heavenly crown! But flesh and sense indulge dispair; For ever blessed be the Lord, That faith can read his holy word, And find a resurrection there. 4 For ever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his saints a long reward, For all their toil, reproach and pain; Let all below, and all above, Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, And each repeat their loud Amen.

Man mortal, and God eternal

Hymnal: PCSC1791 #181 (1791) First Line: Thro' ev'ry age, eternal God Lyrics: 1 Thro' ev'ry age, eternal God, Thou art our rest, our safe abode: High was thy throne e'er heav'n was made, Or earth thy humble footstool laid. 2 Long had'st thou reign'd ere time began, Or dust was fashion'd to a man: And long thy kingdom shall endure When earth and time shall be no more. 3 But man, weak man, is born to die, Made up of guilt and vanity: Thy dreadful sentence, Lord, was just, "Return ye sinners, to your dust." [4 A thousand of our years amount Scarce to a day in thine account, 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 sev'nty years is set; How short the time! how frail the state! And if to eighty we arrive, We rather sigh, and groan than live. 7 But oh how oft thy wrath appears, And cuts off our expected years! Thy wrath awakes our humble dread! We fear the power 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. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English

Man frail, and God eternal

Hymnal: PCSC1791 #182 (1791) First Line: Our God, our help in ages past Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. 2 Beneath the shadow of thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is thine arm alone, And my defence is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth receiv'd her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 Thy word commands our flesh to dust, "Return ye sons of men;" All nations rose from earth at first, And turn to earth again. 5 A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising dawn. [6 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all their lives and cares, Are carried downwards by the flood, And lost in following years. 7 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 8 Like flow'ry fields the nations stand Pleas'd with the morning light; The flowers beneath the mower's hand Lie withering ere 'tis night.] 9 Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English

Hymnal: PCSC1791 #183 (1791) First Line: Lord, if thine eyes survey our faults Lyrics: 1 Lord, if thine eyes survey our faults, And justice grow severe, Thy dreadful wrath exceeds our thoughts, And burns beyond our fear. 2 Thine anger turns our frame to dust; By one offence to thee, Adam, with all his sons, have lost Their immortality. 3 Life, like a vain amusement flies, A fable or a song; By swift degrees our nature dies, Nor can our joys be long. 4 'Tis but a few whose days amount To three score years and ten; And all beyond that short account Is sorrow, toil, and pain. [5 Our vitals with laborious strife Bear up the crazy load, And drag these poor remains of life Along the tiresome road.] 6 Almighty God, reveal thy love, And not thy wrath alone; Oh let our sweet experience prove The mercies of thy throne. 7 Our souls would learn the heav'nly art T' improve the hours we have, That we may act the wiser part, And live beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 90:8 Languages: English
