Pride and Death; or, The Vanity of Life and Riches

Hymnal: DWI21790 #84b (1790) First Line: Why doth the man of riches grow Lyrics: 1 Why doth the man of riches grow To insolence and pride, To see his wealth and honours flow With every rising tide. 2 [Why doth he treat the poor with scorn, Made of the self-same clay, And boast as though his flesh was born Of better dust than they?] 3 Not all his treasures can procure His soul a short reprieve, Redeem from death one guilty hour, Or make his brother live. 4 Eternal life can ne'er be sold, The ransom is too high; Justice will ne'er be brib'd with gold, That man may never die. 5 He sees the brutish and the wise, The timorous and the brave, Quit their possessions, close their eyes, And hasten to the grave. 6 Yet 'tis his inward thought and pride, "My house shall ever stand; "And that my name may long abide, "I'll give it to my land." 7 Vain are his thoughts, his hopes are lost, How soon his memory dies! His name is written in the dust, Where his own body lies. Pause. 8 This is the folly of their way And yet their sons as vain Approve the words their fathers say, And act their works again. 9 Men void of wisdom and of grace, Tho' honour raise them high, Live like the beast, a thoughtless race, And like the beast they die. 10 [Laid in the grave like silly sheep, Death triumphs o'er them there, Till the last trumpet breaks their sleep, And wakes them in despair.] Topics: Death of saints and sinners; Death and pride; Death and the resurrection; Envy and Unbelief cured; Life and Riches their Vanity; Mortality of man; Pride and death; Prosperous sinners cursed; Resurrection of the saints; Resurrection and death; Riches Their Vanity; Death of saints and sinners; Death and pride; Death and the resurrection; Envy and Unbelief cured; Life and Riches their Vanity; Mortality of man; Pride and death; Prosperous sinners cursed; Resurrection of the saints; Resurrection and death; Riches Their Vanity Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14 Languages: English

When shall the just revive, and reign O'er all that scorn'd them here? 3 God will my naked soul receive, Call'd from the world away, And break the prison of the grave, To raise my mouldering clay. 4 Heaven is my everlasting home, Th' inheritance is sure; Let men of pride their rage resume, But I'll repine no more.
