Withering As Grass Is Humankind

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11103 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Withering as grass is humankind, And fleeting as the short lived flower; The goodliness today we find Tomorrow fades, and is no more. 2 Man, foolish man, his virtue shows, Which for a moment charms our eyes; The sin-convincing Spirit blows, Withers the flower, and fades, and dies. 3 Die the gay flower of human pride: The Word of God shall stand secure; The Word of God shall still abide, And firm from age to age endure. 4 Sion, ascend the mountain top, Jerusalem, the grace proclaim; Herald of God, thy voice lift up, And strongly shout the Savior’s name. 5 Good tidings show to Judah’s race, Publish throughout the earth abroad Good tidings of redeeming grace, And cry to all, "Behold your God!" 6 Behold, the Lord your God shall come, And bow the world to His command; HIs outstretched arm shall make Him room: Who can His outstretched arm withstand? 7 Lo! an exceeding great reward, Himself, to humbled souls He gives; He fills whom first He has prepared, And all in all for ever lives. 8 Shepherd of souls, His tender care Shall kindly for His flock provide; The lambs He in His arms shall bear, And sweetly in His bosom hide. 9 His sheep He shall protect, and feed, Bind up the maimed, support the weak; The great with young shall gently lead, And seek the lost, and heal the sick.
