Death & Dying
Deuteronomy 30:19: I have set before you life and death, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Death & Dying
WouLDST Thou insult the fallen man,
The work of Thy own hands,
Or mock us, Lord, with offers vain,
If Thy decree withstands?
Thou canst not thus our souls deceive,
(Though men their God behe,)
Thou canst not bid us choose to live.
Whom Thou hast doom'd to die.
