Tho' the night falls weary, saints of God march on! And He'll raise our banner in the morning.

Death of the Righteous

Author: Mrs. Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 470 hymnals Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: How blest the righteous when he dies Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies, When sinks a weary soul to rest! How mildly beam the closing eyes! How gently heaves the expiring breast! 2 So fades a summer-cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shores. 3 A holy quiet reigns around, A calm which life nor death destroys; And naught disturbs that peace profound, Which his unfettered soul enjoys. 4 Life's labor done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies; While heaven and earth combine to say, "How blest the righteous when he dies!"

Praise be thy new employ; And, while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour's joy.

Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light 3 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I, to-day, are nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death.
