Christ, my rock, my sure defence

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Of Heaven and Future Happiness Lyrics: 1 Christ, my rock, my sure defence, Jesus, my Redeemer liveth; O! what pleasing hopes from thence My believing heart deriveth! Else death's long and gloomy night Would my guilty soul affright. 2 Christ is risen from the dead, Thou shalt rise too, saith my Saviour; Of what should I be afraid, I with him shall live forever. Can the head forsake his limb, And not draw it after him? 3 No, my soul he cannot leave, This, this is my consolation; And my body in the grave Rests in hope and expectation, That this mortal flesh shall see Incorruptibility. 4 Flesh I bear, and therefore must Unto dust be once reduced, This I own, but from the dust I shall be to life produced, And convey'd to endless bliss Live where my Redeemer is! 5 In my body, when restor'd To the likeness of his Body, I shall see my God, my Lord, My beloved in his glory; In my flesh eternally My Redeemer I shall see. 6 These mine eyes most certainly Shall behold and know my Saviour, I, no stranger, no, ev'n I, Him to see shall have the favour: Grieving pining in the clay Ever shall be done away. 7 What here sickens, sighs and groans, There o'er death shall prove victorious: Earthly here are sown my bones, Heav'nly they shall rise and glorious: What is natural sown here, Shall rise spiritual there. 8 Let us raise our minds above This world's lust, vain, transitory, Cleave to him ev'n here in love, Whom we hope to see in glory: May our minds tend constantly Where we ever wish to be.

And let this feeble body fail

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 351 hymnals Topics: Happiness of hope Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain, And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain. I suffer on my threescore years Till my deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 Oh, what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravish'd eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who taste the pleasures there! They all are robed in spotless white, And conq'ring palms they bear. 4 Oh, what are all my suff'rings here If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day.

Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 224 hymnals Topics: Happiness of love and trust Lyrics: 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares; Its aid in ev'ry duty brings, And softens all my cares; 2 Extinguishes the thirst of sin, And lights the sacred fire Of love to God and heavenly things, And feeds the pure desire. 3 The wounded conscience know its power The healing balm to give; That balm the saddest heart can cheer, And make the dying live. 4 Wide it unveils celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign; And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain: 5 Shows me the precious promise seal'd With my Redeemer's blood; And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God. 6 There, there unshaken would I rest, 'Till this vile body dies, And then on faith's triumphant wings At once to glory rise.

'Tis by the faith of joys to come

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Happiness of love and trust Lyrics: 1 ’Tis by the faith of joys to come We walk through deserts dark as night; Till we arrive at heaven our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light. 2 The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear; Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near. 3 Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith inspires a heavenly ray, Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way. 4 So Abra’m, by divine command, Left his own house to walk with God; His faith beheld the promised land, And cheer'd him on his toilsome road.

Sometimes a light surprises

Appears in 407 hymnals Topics: Happiness of love and trust Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, Who rises With healing in His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens Will give His children bread. 4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, Yis praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.
