The tempter to my soul hath said

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The tempter to my soul hath said, "There is no help in God for thee;" Lord! lift thou up thy servant's head; My glory, shield, and solace be. 2 Thus to the Lord I raised my cry; He heard me from his holy hill; At his command the waves rolled by; He beckoned, and the winds were still. 3 I laid me down and slept, I woke; Thou, Lord, my spirit didst sustain; Bright, from the east, the morning broke; Thy comforts rose on me again. 4 I will not fear, though armed throngs Compass my steps in all their wrath; Salvation to the Lord belongs; His presence guards his people's path.

How blest the righteous when he dies

Appears in 471 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies, When sinks a weary soul to rest! How mildly beam the closing eyes! How gently heaves th' expiring breast! 2 So fades a summer cloud away, So sinks the gale when storms are o'er, So gently shuts the eye of day, So dies a wave along the shore. 3 A holy quiet reigns around, A calm which life nor death destroys; Nothing disturbs that peace profound Which his unfetter'd soul enjoys. 4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears, Where lights and shades alternate dwell! How bright the unchanging morn appears! Farewell, inconstant world! farewell! 5 Life’s labor done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies; While heaven and earth combine to say, "How blest the righteous when he dies!"
