PSALM 90. L. M. Carthage. Worship. [*b]^ Man mortal, and Gon Eternal.

1 THROUGH ev'ry age, eternal God,

THR

Thou art our rest, our safe abode; High was thy throne, e'er heav'n was made, Or earth thy humble footstool laid.

2 Long hadst thou reign'd, ere time began,
Or dust was fashion'd into man;

And long thy kingdom shall endure,
When earth and time shall be no more.

e 3 But man, weak man, is born to die,
Made up of guilt and vanity;

a Thy dreadful sentence, Lord, was just,-
d “Return, ye sinners, to your dust.”

-4 [A thousand of our years amount
Scarce to a day in thine account;"
Like yesterday's departed light,
Or the last watch of ending night.]
PAUSE.

-5 Death, like an overflowing stream,
Sweeps us away; our life's a dream;
p An empty tale; a morning flow'r,
Cut down and wither'd in an hour.

6 [Our age to seventy years is set:
How short the term! how frail the state!
And if to eighty we arrive,

We rather sigh and groan than live,
