Lyics

LET others boast how strong they be,

Nor death nor danger fear;

But we'll confess, O Lord, to thee,

What feeble things we are.



Fresh as the grass our bodies stand,

And flourish bright and gay;

A blasting wind sweeps o'er the land,

And fades the grass away.



Our Maker, God, supports our frame;

In God alone we trust!

Salvation to th' almighty name

That reared us from the dust.
