Asleep in Jesus, blesséd sleep
Bless'd are the humble souls, who see
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit From the Happiness of the Christian in the Present and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Bless'd are the humble souls, who see
Their ignorance and poverty;
Treasures of grace to them are giv'n,
And crowns of joy laid up in heav'n.
2 Bless'd are the men of broken heart,
Who mourn for sin with inward smart
For them divine compassion flows,
A healing balm for all their woes.
3 Bless'd are the meek, who stand afar
From rage and passion, noise and war:
God will secure their happy state,
And plead their cause against the great.
4 Bless'd are the souls, who thirst for grace,
Hunger and long for righteousness:
They shall be well supplied and fed
With living streams and living bread.
5 Bless'd are the men whose hearts still move
And melt with sympathy and love;
They shall themselves from God obtain
Like sympathy and love again.
6 Bless'd are the pure, whose hearts are clean
From the defiling power of sin:
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.
7 Bless'd are the men of peaceful life,
Who quench the coals of growing strife:
They shall be call'd the heirs of bliss,
The sons of God, the God of peace.
8 Bless'd are the suff'rers who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus' sake:
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord,
Glory and joy are their reward.
Bless'd are the humble souls, who see
Blest are the undefil'd in heart
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 83 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit From the Happiness of the Christian in the Present and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Blest are the undefil'd in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean;
Who never from thy law depart,
But fly from ev'ry sin.
2 Blest are the men who keep thy Word
And practice thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek the Lord,
And serve thee with their hands.
3 Great is their peace, who love thy law;
How firm their souls abide!
Nor can a bold temptation draw
Their steady feet aside.
4 Then shall my heart have inward joy,
And keep my face from shame,
When all thy statutes I obey,
And honour all thy name.
Blest are the undefil'd in heart
Through shades and solitudes profound
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit From the Happiness of the Christian in the Present and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Through shades and solitudes profound,
The fainting traveller winds his way;
Bewildering meteors glare around,
Ad tempt his wandering feet astray.
2 Welcome, thrice welcome, to his eye,
The sudden moon's inspiring light,
When forth she sallies through the sky,
The guardian angel of the night!
3 Thus mortals, blind and weak, below
Pursue the phantom bliss, in vain;
The world's a wilderness of wo,
And life a pilgrimage of pain!
4 Beyond the narrow vale of time,
Where bright celestial ages roll,
To scenes eternal, scenes sublime,
She points the way, and leads the soul.
5 At her approach the grave appears
The gate of Paradise restor'd;
Her voice the watching cherub hears,
And drops his double-flaming sword.
6 Baptiz'd with her renewing fire,
May we the crown of glory gain:
Rise when the hosts of heaven expire,
And reign with God, for ever reign!
Through shades and solitudes profound

O fair is our Lord's own city

O fair is our Lord's own city
Death calls our friends, our neighbors, hence
Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Life, Death and the future State Death the Lot of all Mankind Lyrics: 1 Death calls our friends, our neighbours, hence,
And none resist the fatal dart;
Continual warnings trike our sense —
And shall they fail to reach our heart?
2 That awful hour will soon appear,
(Swift on the wings of time it flies)
When all that pains or pleases, here,
Shall vanish from our closing eyes.
3 Lord of our life, inspire our heart
With heav'nly ardour, grace divine;
Nor let thy presence e'er depart,
For strength, and life, and death, are thine.
4 O teach us the celestial skill
Each awful warning to improve;
And, while our days are short'ning still,
Prepare us for the joys above.
Death calls our friends, our neighbors, hence
