Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P16c (1766) Topics: Counsel and Support from God Lyrics: 1 When GOD is nigh, my Faith is strong, His Arm is my Almighty Prop: Be glad, my Heart; rejoice, my Tongue, My dying Flesh shall rest in Hope. 2 Though in the Dust I lay my Head, Yet, gracious GOD, thou wilt not leave My Soul for ever with the Dead, Nor lose thy Children in the Grave. 3 My Flesh shall thy first Call obey, Shake off the Dust, and rise on high; Then shalt thou lead the wond'rous Way Up to thy Throne above the Sky. 4 There Streams of endless Pleasure flow, And full Discov'ries of thy Grace, (Which we but tasted here below) Spread heav'nly Joys thro' all the Place.
