Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolv'd

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolv'd, in death and ruins lie; but better mansions wait the just, prepar'd above the sky. 2 An house eternal, built by God, shall lodge the holy mind; When once those prison-walls have fall’n by which ‘tis now confined. 3 Hence, burden'd with a weight of clay, we groan beneath the load, waiting the hour which sets us free, and brings us home to God. 4 We know, that when the soul, uncloth'd, shall from this body fly, ’twill animate a purer frame with life that cannot die. 5 Such are the hopes that cheer the just; these hopes their God hath giv’n; his Spirit is the earnest now, and seals their souls for heav’n. 6 We walk by faith of joys to come, faith grounded on his word; but while this body is our home, we mourn an absent Lord. 7 What faith rejoices to believe, we long and pant to see; we would be absent from the flesh, and present, Lord! with thee. 8 But still, or here, or going hence, to this our labours tend, that, in his service spent, our life may in his favour end. 9 For, Lo! before the Son, as judge, th’ assembled world shall stand, to take the punishment or prize from his unerring hand. 10 Impartial retributions then our different lives await; our present actions, good or bad, shall fix our future fate.

To render thanks unto the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To render thanks unto the Lord it is a comely thing, and to thy name, O thou Most High, due praise aloud to sing: 2 thy loving-kindness to show forth when shines the morning light; and to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure every night. 3 upon a ten-stringed instrument, and on the psaltery, upon the harp with solemn sound and grave sweet melody. 4 For thou, Lord, by thy mighty deeds hast gladness to me brought; and I will triumph in the works which by thy hands are wrought. 5 How great and wondrous, Lord, thy works! thy thought how deep it is! 6 A brutish man discerneth not, fools understand not this. 7 When even like unto the grass springs up the wicked race, and workers of iniquity do flourish all apace; 'Tis that cut off and quite destroyed they may for ever be: 8 but thou, O Lord, art throned on high, unto eternity. 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, thine enemies perish shall; the workers of iniquity shall be dispersed all. 10 But like the unicorn's, my horn exalted is by thee: anointed also with fresh oil I am abundantly. 11 Mine eyes shall also my desire see on mine enemies; mine ears shall of the wicked hear, that do against me rise. 12 But like the palm-tree flourishing shall be the righteous one; he shall like to the cedar grow that is in Lebanon. 13 Those that within the house of God are planted by his grace, they shall grow up, and flourish all in our God’s holy place. 14 And in old age, when others fade, they fruit still forth shall bring; they shall be fat and full of sap, and aye be flourishing; 15 to show that upright is the Lord: he is a rock to me; and he from all unrighteousness is altogether free.
