Naked As from the Earth We Came
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Naked as from the earth we came
And crept to life at first,
We to the earth return again
And mingle with our dust.
2. The dear delights we here enjoy
And fondly call our own
Are but short favors borrowed now,
To be repaid anon.
3. 'Tis God who lifts our comforts high
Or sinks them in the grave.
He gives, and (blessed be his name)
He takes but what he gave.
4. Peace, all our angry passions, then;
Let each rebellious sigh
Be silent at his sovereign will,
And every murmur die.
5. If smiling mercy crowns our lives,
Its praises shall be spread,
And we’ll adore the justice too
That strikes our comforts dead. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 22 Scripture: Job 1:21 Used With Tune: MONFORT
