How do Thy mercies close me round!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Blessedness future, anticipated Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round! For ever be Thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant is above his Lord! 2 Inured to poverty and pain, A suff'ring life my Master led: The Son of God, the Son of man, He had not where to lay His head. 3 But lo! a place He hath prepared For me, whom watchful angels keep; Yea, He himself becomes my guard; He smooths my bed and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears, begone: What can the Rock of Ages move? Safe in Thine arms I lay me down, Thine everlasting arms of love. 5 I rest beneath th'Almighty's shade, My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stay'd, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. 6 Me for Thine own Thou lov'st to take In time and in eternity; Thou never, never wilt forsake A helpless worm that trusts in Thee.

Refrain: The hour of my departure My Savior knows, And in his love confiding, I dwell in sweet repose. 2 The hour of my departure I’ll keep in view, And strive, while here I linger, Some precious work to do; Some service for the Master, Or cross to bear, That I a crown unfading, And robe of white may wear. [Refrain] 3 The hour of my departure May soon be here; To me the thought is joyful, And yonder light is clear; I see the sunlit mountains Where I shall stand, I hear the songs enchanting Of yon celestial band. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [The hour of my departure I may not know]

'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Blessedness future, anticipated; Death anticipation of; Hope in anticipation of death Lyrics: 1 'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope, That when my change shall come, Angels will hover round my bed, And waft my spirit home! 2 There shall my disimprison'd soul Behold Him and adore; Be with his likeness satisfied, And grieve and sin no more: 3 Shall see Him wear that very flesh On which my guilt was lain; His love intense, His merit fresh, As though but newly slain. 4 Soon, too, my slumbering dust shall hear The trumpet's quick'ning sound; And, by my Saviour's power rebuilt, At His right hand be found. 5 These eyes shall see Him in that day, The God that died for me! And all my rising bones shall say, Lord, who is like to Thee! 6 If such the views which grace unfolds, Weak as it is below, What raptures must the Church above, In Jesus' presence know.
