HYMN 157. Mortality and Immortality.
Isa. 40.6, 7.
All flesh is grass, and soon must yield,for all the goodly show,Which is but as a flower in fieldthat some short time doth grow.The grass doth wither and is gone,the flower doth fade and pass:Because God's Spirit blows thereon;the people sure is grass.
8. 1 Cor. 15.53.
The grass doth change, the flower doth fadeat one rebuking blast;
descriptionPage 163
But loe! the word our Lord hath saidfor ever standeth fast.The corruptible must put ona state that cannot die;The mortal must be cloath'd uponwith immortality.
54, 56, 57.
The Scriptures sayings then shall befulfil'd for Saints to sing,O Grave! where is thy Victory?O Death! where is thy Sting?The Sting of Death Sin needs must be,the Law the strength of Sin,But thanks to God for Victorythrough Christ our Lord herein.
