Stoop down, my Tho'ts, that use to rise
Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1 Stoop down, my Tho'ts, that use to rise,
Converse awhile with Death;
Think how a gasping Mortal lies,
And pants away his Breath.
2 His quiv'ring Lip hangs feebly down,
His Pulses faint and few,
Then, speechless, with a doleful Groan,
He bids the World adieu.
3 But, O the Soul that never dies!
At once it leaves the Clay!
Ye Thoughts, pursue it where it flies,
And track its wond'rous Way.
4 Up to the Courts where Angels dwell,
It mounts triumphing there;
Or Devils plunge it down to Hell,
In infinite Despair.
5 And must my Body faint and die?
And must this Soul remove?
O! for some Guardian Angel nigh,
To bear it safe above!
6 Jesus, to thy dear faithful Hand
My naked Soul I trust,
And my Flesh waits for thy Command,
To drop into my Dust.
Stoop down, my Tho'ts, that use to rise
'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Resurrection 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 disimprisoned 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 quickening sound;
And, by my Saviour's power rebuilt,
At His right hand be found.
5 These eyes shall see Him in that day,
The Lord 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!

That Awful Day Will Surely Come
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 371 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 That awful day will surely come,
Th’appointed hour makes haste,
When I must stand before my Judge,
And pass the solemn test.
2 Thou lovely Chief of all my joys,
Thou Sovereign of my heart,
How could I bear to hear Thy voice
Pronounce the sound, "Depart!"
3 O, wretched state of deep despair,
To see my God remove
And fix my dreadful station where
I must not taste His love!
4 Jesus, I throw my arms around
And hang upon Thy breast:
Without one gracious smile from Thee
My spirit cannot rest.
5 O, tell me that my worthless name
Is graven on Thy hands;
Show me some promise in Thy book
Where my salvation stands.

Hear what God the Lord hath spoken
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.7 Appears in 201 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven Lyrics: 1 Hear what God the Lord hath spoken:
O my people, faint and few,
Comfortless, afflicted, broken,
Fair abodes I build for you.
Thorns of heartfelt tribulation,
Shall no more perplex your ways:
You shall name your walls salvation,
And your gates shall all be praise.
2 There, like streams that feed the garden,
Pleasures without end shall flow;
For the Lord, your faith rewarding,
All His bounty shall bestow.
Still in undisturbed possession,
Peace and righteousness shall reign:
Never shall you feel oppression,
Hear the voice of war again.
3 Ye no more your suns descending,
Waning moons no more shall see;
But, your griefs for ever ended,
Find eternal noon in Me.
God shall rise, and shining o'er you,
Change to day the gloom of night;
He, the Lord, shall be your Glory,
God your everlasting Light. Used With Tune: WELT ADE, ICH BIN DEIN MÜDE
