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. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-11 Used With Tune: ST LEONARD

Yet God shall raise his head on high

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 12 Yet God shall raise his head on high, though thus he brought him low; his sacred off’ring, when complete, shall terminate his woe. 13 For, saith the Lord, my pleasure then shall prosper in his hand; his shall a num’rous off-spring be, and still his honours stand. 14 His soul, rejoicing, shall behold the purchase of his pain; and all the guilty whom he sav'd shall bless Messiah’s reign. 15 He with the great shall share the spoil, and baffle all his foes; though rank'd with sinners, here he fell, a conqueror he rose. 16 He dy'd to bear the guilt of men, that sin might be forgiv’n: he lives to bless them and defend, and plead their cause in heav’n. Scripture: Isaiah 53 Used With Tune: ST LEONARD

Lord, keep me, for I trust in thee

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, keep me, for I trust in thee; to God this was my cry, 2 thou art my Lord, and above thee not any good have I. 3 To saints on earth, the excellent, there my delight’s all placed; 4 their sorrows shall be multiplied to other gods that haste: Of their drink-offerings of blood no offering will I make; their very names into my lips I will not even take. 5 Of mine inheritance and cup the Lord's the portion sure; the lot that fallen is to me thou dost maintain secure. 6 Unto me happily the lines in pleasant places fell; yea, the inheritance I have in beauty doth excel. 7 I bless the Lord, because he doth by counsel me conduct, and in the seasons of the night my reins do me instruct. 8 Before me still the Lord I set: since it is so that he doth ever stand at my right hand, I shall not moved be. 9 Because of this my heart is glad, and joy shall be expressed even by my glory; and my flesh in confidence shall rest. 10 Because my soul unto grave shall not be left by thee; and thou will not thine Holy One corruption give to see. 11 Thou wilt me show the path of life: of joy there is full store before thy face; at thy right hand are pleasures evermore. Scripture: Psalm 16 Used With Tune: ST LEONARD
