Youth and Judgement

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XII (1786) First Line: Ye sons of Adam, vain and young Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of Adam, vain and young, Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue; Taste the delights your souls desire, And give a loose to all your fire. 2 Pursue the pleasures you design, And cheer your hearts with songs and wine; Enjoy the day of mirth — but know There is a day of judegment too! 3 God, from on high, records your thoughts, His book records your secret faults; The works of darkness you have done, Must rise unveil'd before his throne. 4 The vengeance, to your follies due, Should strike your hearts with terror through; How will ye stand before his face, Or answer for his injur'd grace? 5 Almighty God, turn off their eyes From works of vanity and lies; And let the thunder of thy word Awake their souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11 Languages: English

Advice to Youth

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XIII (1786) First Line: Now in the heat of youthful blood Lyrics: 1 Now, in the heat of youthful blood, Remember your Creator God: Behold, the months come hastening on, When you shall say — my joys are gone! 2 Behold the aged sinner goes, Laden with guilt and heavy woes, Down to the regions of the dead, With bitterest curses on his head. 3 The dust returns to dust again; The soul, in agonies of pain, Ascends to God; not there to dwell, But hears her doom, and sinks to hell. 4 Eternal king! I fear thy name; Teach me to know — how frail I am — And when my soul must hence remove, Give me a mansion in thy love. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 7:7 Languages: English

Justification by Faith, not by Works

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XIV (1786) First Line: Vain are the hopes, the sons of men Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes, the sons of men On their own works have built; Their hearts, by nature, all unclean, And all their actions guilt. 2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths, Without a murmuring word, And the whole race of Adam stand In guilt before the Lord. 3 In vain, we ask God's righteous law To justify us now; Since — to convince, and to condemn — Is all the law can do. 4 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace, When in thy name we trust! Our faith receives a righteousness That makes the sinner just. Scripture: Romans 3:19-21 Languages: English

Love to God and our Neighbours

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XIX (1786) First Line: Thus saith the first, the great, command Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the first, the great, command, Let all thy inward powers unite, To love thy Maker and thy God, With vigour and delight. 2 Then shall thy neighbour, next in place, Thy warm affections prove; And be thy kindness to thyself The measure of thy love. 3 This Moses and the prophets spoke, And Jesus from above; For want of this the law is broke, And all the law is love. 4 But oh, how base our passions are! How cold our blinded zeal! Lord, fill our hearts with warm desires, To learn and do thy will. Scripture: Matthew 22 Languages: English

Love to the Creatures is dangerous

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XL (1786) First Line: How vain are all things here below! Lyrics: 1 How vain are all things here below! How false, and yet how fair! Each pleasure hath its poison too, And ev'ry sweet — a snare. 2 The brightest things below the sky Give but a flattering light; We should suspect some danger nigh, Where we possess delight. 3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, The partners of our blood, How they divide our wavering minds, And leave but half for God! 4 The fondness of a creature's love, Allures the flattering sense! Thither the warm affections move, Nor can we call them thence. 5 Dear Saviour, let thy beauties be My soul's eternal food; And grace command my heart away From all created good. Languages: English

Shortness of Life and goodness of God

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XLI (1786) First Line: Time, what an empty vapour 'tis! Lyrics: 1 Time, what an empty vapuor 'tis! And days, how swift they are! Swift as a feather'd arrow flies, Or like a shooting star. 2 Our life is ever on the wing, And death is ever nigh; The moment when our lives begin, We all begin to die. 3 Yet, mighty God! our fleeting days Thy lasting favours share; And still the bounties of thy grace Enrich the rolling years. 4 'Tis sovereign mercy finds us food, And we are cloth'd by love; While grace stands pointing out the road, That leads our souls above. 5 Thus we begin the lasting song; And when we close our eyes, Let the next age thy praise prolong, 'Till time and nature dies.

God the Thunderer; Or, the last Judgment, and Hell

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XLII (1786) First Line: Sing to the Lord ye heavenly hosts Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord ye heavenly hosts, And let the earth, adore; Let death and hell, thro' all their coasts, Stand trembling at his power. 2 His sounding chariot shakes the sky, He makes the clouds his throne; There all his stores of lightning lie, 'Till vengeance darts them down. 3 Before him rolls a fiery stream — And from his awful tongue A sovereign voice divides the flame, And thunder roars along! 4 Think, O my soul, the dreadful day When this incensed God Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea, And fling his wrath abroad! 5 What shall the wretch, the sinner do? He once defy'd the Lord; But he shall dread the thunderer now, And sink beneath his word. 6 Tempests of angry fire shall roll To blast the rebel worm; And beat upon his naked soul In one eternal storm.

A Funeral Thought

Hymnal: DWIC1786 #XLIII (1786) First Line: Hark from the tombs, a doleful sound Lyrics: 1 Hark from the tombs, a doleful sound, My ears attend the cry — "Ye living men, come, view the ground "Where you must shortly lie. 2 "Princes this clay must be your bed, "In spite of all your towers; "The tall, the wise, the reverend head "Must lie as low as our's. 3 Great God, is this our certain doom? And are we still secure! Still walking downward to our tomb, And yet prepar'd no more! 4 Grant us the powers of quickening grace, To fit our souls to fly; Then, when we drop this dying flesh, We'll rise above the sky.
