Psalms, Hymns, and Scripture Chants for Christians ‎#533

533. O Lord, whate'er disease invades

1 O Lord what'er disease invades
This trembling house of clay,
'Tis sweet to look beyond my pains
And long to soar away.

2 Sweet to look inward and attend
The whispers of Thy love;
Sweet to look upward to the place
Were Jesus pleads above.

3 Sweet to look back, and see my name
In Life's fair book set down;
Sweet to look forward, and behold
Eternal joys my own.

4 Sweet in Thy faithfulness to rest,
Whose love can never end;
Sweet on Thy covenant of grace
For all things to depend.

5 If such the sweetness of the streams,
What must the fountain be,
Where saints and angels draw their bliss
Immediately from Thee?
