Far from affliction, toil, and care

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Death of their Minister Lyrics: 1 Far from affliction, toil, and care, The happy soul is fled; the breathless clay shall slumber here, Among the silent dead. 2 The gospel was his joy and song, E'en to his latest breath; The truth he had proclaim'd so long Was his support in death. 3 Now he resides where Jesus is, Above this dusky sphere; His soul was ripen'd for that bliss, While yet he sojourn'd here. 4 The Churches' loss we all deplore, And shed the falling tear; Since we shall see his face no more, Till Jesus shall appear. 5 But we are hasting to the tomb; Oh, may we ready stand; Then, dearest Lord, receive us home, To dwell at thy right hand.

Oft as the bell, with solemn toll

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Death Lyrics: 1 Oft as the bell, with solemn toll, Speaks the departure of a soul, Let each one ask himself, "Am I Prepar'd, should I be call'd to die?" 2 Only this frail and fleeting breath Preserves me from the jaws of death; Soon as it fails, at once I'm gone, And plung'd into a world unknown. 3 Then leaving all I lov'd below, To God's tribunal I must go; Must hear the judge pronounce my fate, And fix my everlasting state. 4 Lord Jesus! help me now to flee, And seek my hope alone in thee; Apply thy blood, thy Spirit give, Subdue my sin, and let me live. 5 Then when the solemn bell I hear, If sav'd from guilt, I need not fear; Now would the thought distressing be, Perhaps it next may toll for me.

Lord, thou hast rais'd his kingdom high, And given the world to his command. 3 Thy goodness grants whate'er he will, Nor doth the least request with-hold: Blessings of love prevent him still, And crowns of glory, not of gold. 4 Honour and majesty divine Around his sacred temples shine: Blest with the favour of thy face, And length of everlasting days. 5 Thine hand shall find out all his foes; And as a firey oven glows With raging heat and living coals, So shall thy wrath devour their souls.
