Desiring to depart, and to be with Christ

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #310 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Philippians 1:23 First Line: While on the verge of life I stand Lyrics: 1 While on the verge of life I stand, And view the scene on either hand, My spirit struggles with my clay, And longs to wing its flight away. 2 Where Jesus dwells my soul would be, And faints my much-lov'd Lord to see; Earth, twine no more about my heart! For 'tis far better to depart. 3 Come, ye angelic convoys! come, And lead the willing pilgrim home; Ye know the way to Jesus' throne,-- Source of my joys, and of your own. 4 The blissful interview, how sweet! To fall transported at his feet! Rais'd in his arms, to view his face Through the full beamings of his grace! 5 As with a seraphs voice to sing! To fly as on a cherub's wing! Performing, with unwearied hands, The present Savior's high commands. 6 Yet, with these prospects full in sight, We'll wait thy signal for the flight, For, while thy service we pursue, We find a heaven in all we do.

Never separated

Author: Richard Massie Hymnal: Laudes Domini #405 (1888) Scripture: Philippians 1:21 First Line: I know no life divided Lyrics: 1 I know no life divided, O Lord of life, from thee; In thee is life provided For all mankind and me: I know no death, O Jesus, Because I live in thee; Thy death it is that frees us From death eternally. 2 I fear no tribulation, Since whatsoe'er it be, It makes no separation Between my Lord and me. If thou, my God and Teacher, Vouchsafe to be my own, Though poor, I shall be richer Than monarch on his throne. 3 If, while on earth I wander, My heart is right and blest, Ah, what shall I be yonder, In perfect peace and rest? Oh, blessed thought! in dying We go to meet the Lord, Where there shall be no sighing, A kingdom our reward.

Faith

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #427 (1888) Scripture: Philippians 1:21 First Line: By faith in Christ I walk with God Lyrics: 1 By faith in Christ I walk with God, With heaven, my journey's end, in view; Supported by his staff and rod, My road is safe and pleasant too. 2 Though snares and dangers throng my path, And earth and hell my course withstand, I triumph over all by faith, Guarded by his almighty hand. 3 The wilderness affords no food, But God for my support prepares, Provides me every needful good, And frees my soul from wants and cares. 4 With him sweet converse I maintain; Great as he is, I dare be free; I tell him all my grief and pain, And he reveals his love to me.
