Farewell! I say with gladness

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 FAREWELL! I say with gladness, False, evil world, farewell! Thy life is sin and sadness, With thee I would not dwell; In heaven are better pleasures, I long for that bright sphere Where God grants endless treasures To those that served Him here. 2 Do with me as it pleases Thy heart, O Son of God! When anguish on me seizes, Help me to bear my load; Nor then my sorrows lengthen, But take me hence on high; My fearful spirit strengthen, And let me calmly die. 3 When all around is darkling, Thy name and cross, still bright, Deep in my heart are sparkling, Like stars in blackest night. Appear Thou in Thy sorrow, For Thine was woe indeed, And from Thy cross I borrow All comfort heart can need. 4 Thou diedst for me,--O hide me When tempests round me roll; Through all my foes, O guide me, Receive my trembling soul. If I but grasp Thee firmer, What matters pain when past? Hath he a cause to murmur Who reaches heaven at last? 5 O write my name, I pray Thee, Now in the book of life; So let me here obey Thee, And there, where joys are rife, Forever bloom before Thee, Thy perfect freedom prove, And tell, as I adore Thee, How faithful was Thy love.

The Mid-Night Cry

Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: Death First Line: Ye virgin souls, arise Lyrics: 1 Ye virgin souls, arise, With all the dead awake, Unto salvation wise, Oil in your vessels take: Upstarting at the midnight-cry Behold the heavenly bridegroom nigh. 2 He comes, he comes to call The nations to his bar, And take to glory all Who meet for glory are; Made ready for your full reward, Go forth with joy to meet your Lord— 3 Go, meet him in the sky, Your everlasting friend; Your head to glorify, With all his saints ascend. Ye pure in heart obtain the grace To see, without a veil, his face. 4 Ye, that have here receiv'd The unction from above, And in his spirit liv'd, And thirsted for his love; Jesus shall claim you for His bride; Rejoice with all the sanctify'd. 5 Rejoice, in glorious hope Of that great day unknown, When you shall be caught up To stand before his throne; Call'd to partake the marriage feast, And lean on our Immanuel's breast. 6 The everlasting doors Shall soon the saints receive, Above those angel-powers In glorious joy to live; Far from a world of grief and sin, With God eternally shut in. 7 Then let us wait to hear The trumpet’s welcome sound; To see our Lord appear, May we be watching found; Enrob'd in righteousness divine, In which the bride shall ever shine.

My GOD, the Steps of pious Men

Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Death of saints and sinners Lyrics: 1 My GOD, the Steps of pious Men Are order'd by thy Will; Tho' they should fall, they rise again, Thy Hand supports them still. 2 The Lord delights to see their Ways, Their Virtue he approves; He'll ne'er deprive them of his Grace, Nor leave the Man he loves. 3 The heav'nly Heritage is theirs, Their Portion and their Home; He feeds them now, and makes them Heirs Of Blessings long to come. 4 Wait on the Lord, ye Sons of Men, Nor fear when Tyrants frown; Ye shall confess their Pride was vain, When Justice casts them down. Pause. 5 The haughty Sinner have I seen, Nor fearing Man nor God, Like a tall Bay-Tree fair and green, Spreading his Arms abroad. 6 And, lo! he vanish'd from the Ground, Destroy'd by Hands unseen; Nor Root, nor Branch, nor Leaf was found Where all that Pride had been. 7 But mark the Man of Righteousness, His sev'ral Steps attend; True Pleasure runs thro' all his Ways, And peaceful is his End. Scripture: Psalm 37:23-37
