Lord, what is man, poor feeble man

by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Ps 144:3-6

1

Lord, what is man, poor feeble man,
Born of the earth at first?
His life a shadow, light and vain,
Still hasting to the dust.

2

O what is feeble, dying man,
Or any of his race,
That God should make it his concern
To visit him with grace?

3

That God who darts his lightnings down,
Who shakes the worlds above,
And mountains tremble at his frown,
How wondrous is his love!
