The Evils That Beset Our Path

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9209 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The evils that beset our path Who can prevent or cure? We stand upon the brink of death When most we seem secure. 2 If we today sweet peace possess, It soon may be withdrawn; Some change may plunge us in distress, Before tomorrow’s dawn. 3 Disease and pain invade our health And find an easy prey; And oft, when least expected, wealth Takes wings and flies away. 4 A fever or a blow can shake Our wisdom’s boasted rule; And of the brightest genius make A madman or a fool. 5 The gourds, from which we look for fruit, Produce us only pain; A worm unseen attacks the root, And all our hopes are vain. 6 I pity those who seek no more Than such a world can give; Wretched they are, and blind, and poor, And dying while they live. 7 Since sin has filled the earth with woe, And creatures fade and die; Lord wean our hearts from things below, And fix our hopes on high. Languages: English Tune Title: ASCRIPTION

The evils that beset our path

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #465 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The evils that beset our path, Who can prevent or cure? We stand upon the brink of death, When most we seem secure. 2 If we to-day sweet peace possess, It soon must be withdrawn; Some change may plunge us in distress, Before to morrow's dawn. 3 Disease and pain invade our health, And find an easy prey; And oft, when least expected, wealth Takes wings and lilies away. 4 Since sin has fill'd the world with woe, And creatures fade and die; Lord! wean our hearts from things below, And fix our hopes on high!
