My warfare now will soon be o'er

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Visitation of the Sick For such as are supposed to be just expiring Lyrics: 1 My warfare now will soon be o'er, My struglings will be past, And I shall pant and groan no more, But be reliev'd at last. 2 I soon shall breathe my latest breath, And see an end to pain; Therefore I will submit to death! For I shall live again. 3 Sure I can never be deceiv'd By him who died for me; By him I was from death repriev'd And set at liberty. 4 Not all the pow'rs of sin and death Against me can prevail; Nor all the force from Hell beneath, Shall cause his word to fail. 5 My Saviour bears me safely through, And brings me to that place; Where all his glories I shall view, And ever see his face. 6 Why should I fear to go from hence, This present life to end; I have establish'd confidence, That Jesus is my friend. 7 My troubles and my sorrows cease, And I shall be at rest; My soul shall enter into peace, And be with Jesus bless'd. 8 My soul desires to leave this clay, And find a better home; And wait that bless'd and happy day: To see my Saviour come.

Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say; Set thou a seal upon my lips Through all today. Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season gay: Let me be faithful to thy grace, Dear Lord, today. And if today this life of mine Should ebb away, Give me thy Sacrament divine, Father, today. So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray: Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Through each today. Amen. Used With Tune: RAYMOND

Let the land mourn through all its coasts

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Cholera visitation of Lyrics: Let the land mourn through all its coasts, The king lay by his state; Princes and rulers, at their posts, Awhile sit desolate. Let priests and people, high and low, Rich, poor, and great, and small, Invoke, in fellowship of woe, The Maker of them all. For God hath summon'd from his place Death, in a direr form, To waken, warn, and scourge our race, Than earthquake, fire, or storm. Let Churches weep within their pale, And families apart; Let each in secresy bewail The plague of his own heart. So, while the land bemoans its sin, The pestilence may cease, And mercy, tempering wrath, bring in Not health alone, but peace:-- The peace of God, which passeth thought, Keep every heart and mind, Till all, by this affliction taught, Be to His will resign'd.

Jesus, the patient's surest friend

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Visitation of the Sick Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the patient's surest friend, Will ever to his case attend; He was in all, like man distress'd, And bore the curse to make us bless'd. 2 In all afflictions we must bear, We are the objects of his care; Tho' we are made to feel the rod, It is to draw us nearer God. 3 Sure we have reason to believe, He knows the time when to relieve; When to remove distress and pain, And to restore our health again. 4 He guards us with his watchful eye, While we do live, and when we die; His word and promises are sure, Nor can thy fail for ever more. 5 If thus the Sons of God we be, We must not seek from him to flee, When his afflicting hand we feel, We must submit unto his will. 6 What tho' we suffer for a while, Distress, and grief, and pain, and toil: Since ev'ry rod and ev'ry smart, Is to remorse the hard'ned heart. 7 Then ye distress'd be not afraid, Nor let your minds be so dismay'd; Christ your physician makes you whole, Can cure the body and the soul.
