The death of A Believer

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCCLVI (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In vain my fancy strives to paint Lyrics: 1 In vain my fancy strives to paint The moment after death, The glories that surround a saint, When yielding up his breath. 2 One gentle sigh his fetters breaks, We scarce can say, "he's gone!" Before the willing spirit takes Its mansions near the throne. 3 Faith strives, but all its efforts fail, To trace the spirit's flight; No eye can pierce within the veil Which hides that world of light. 4 Thus much (and this is all) we know, Saints are completely blest; Have done with sin, and care, and woe, And with their Saviour rest. 5 On harps of gold they praise his name, His face they always view; Then let us followers be of them, That we may praise him too.
