When rising from the bed of death

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #IX (1790) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I view my Maker face to face O how shall I appear! 2 If yet while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought; My soul with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought! 3 When thou, O Lord shalt stand disclos'd, In majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, O how shall I appear! 4 O may my broken contrite heart, Timely my sins lament, And early with repentant tears, Eternal woe prevent. 5 Behold the sorrows of my Heart, Ere yet it be too late; And hear my Saviour’s dying groan; To give those sorrows weight. 6 For never shall my soul despair Her Pardon to secure, Who knows the only Son hath dy'd To make that pardon sure.

And am I born to die?

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #X (1790) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown! A land of deepest shade, Unpierc'd by human thought! The dreary regions of the dead, Where all things are forgot. 2 Soon as from earth I go, What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be! Wak'd by the trumpet's sound, I from my grave must rise, And see the Judge with glory crown'd, And see the flaming skies! 3 How shall I leave my tomb! With triumph or regret? A fearful or a joyful doom, A curse or blessing meet? Will angel-bands convey Their brother to the bar? Or devils drag my soul away To meet its sentence there? 4 Who can resolve the doubt That tears my anxious breast? Shall I be with the damn'd cast out, Or number'd with the blest? I must from God be driv'n, Or with my Saviour dwell: Must come at his command to heav'n, Or else depart to hell. 5 O thou that wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who dy'dst thyself, my soul to save From endless misery! Shew me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe, That when thou comest on thy throne, I may with joy appear. 6 Thou art thyself the way, Thyself in me reveal: So shall I spend my life's short day Obedient to thy will; So shall I love my God, Because he first lov'd me, And praise thee in thy bright abode, To all eternity.

And am I only born to die?

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn-book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #XI (1790) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die? And must I suddenly comply With nature’s stern decree? What after death for me remains? Celestial joys, or hellish pains, To all eternity. 2 How then ought I on earth to live, While God prolongs the kind reprieve, And props the house of clay; My sole concern, my single care, To watch, and tremble, and prepare Against the fatal day! 3 No room for mirth or trifling here, For worldly hope, or worldly fear, If life so soon is gone; If now the Judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand before Th' inexorable throne! 4 No matter which my thoughts employ, A moment’s misery, or joy; But oh! when both shall end, Where shall I find my destin'd place, Shall I my everlasting days With fiends or angels spend? 5 Nothing is worth a thought beneath, But how I may escape the death That never, never dies! How make mine own election sure, And, when I fail on earth, secure A mansion in the skies. 6 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Be thou my guide, be thou my way To glorious happiness! Ah! write the pardon on my heart, And whensoe’er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace. Languages: English

O may we thus ensure A lot among the blest, And watch a moment, to secure An everlasting rest! Languages: English

Thou God of glorious majesty
