Happy the man whose wishes climb

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Happy the man whose wishes climb To mansions in the skies! He looks on all the joys of time With undesiring eyes. 2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms, And throws her silken chain; And wealth and fame invite his arms, And tempt his ear in vain. 3 He knows that all these glitt'ring things Must yield to sure decay; And sees on time's extended wings How swift they flee away. 4 To things unseen by mortal eyes, A beam of sacred light Directs his view; his prospects rise All permanent and bright. 5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come: Those blissful scenes on high Shall flourish in immortal bloom, When time and nature die.

As long as we are His, We never can be poor: In vain do earth and hell oppose, For God is stronger than His foes. 4 The Lord our Shepherd is, He knows our ev'ry need; And since we now are His, His care our souls will feed: In vain do sin and death oppose, For God is stronger than His foes. 5 Our God our Father is, Our names are on His heart; We ever will be His, He ne’er from us will part: In vain the world and flesh oppose, For God is stronger than His foes.

As pants the hart for cooling springs

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling springs, So longs my soul, O King of kings, Thy face in near approach to see, So thirsts, great Source of life, for Thee. 2 With ardent zeal, with strong desires, To Thee, to Thee my soul aspires; When shall I reach Thy blest abode? When meet the presence of my God? 3 God of my strength, attend my cry, Say why, my great Preserver, why Excluded from Thy sight I go, And bend beneath a weight of woe? 4 Why thus, my soul, with care opprest? And whence the woes that fill my breast? In all Thy cares, in all Thy woes, On God thy steadfast hope repose. 6 To Him my thanks shall still be paid, My sure defence, my constant aid; His name my zeal shall ever raise, And dictate to my lips His praise.
