Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #552 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims
For all the pious dead!
Sweet is the savour of their names,
And soft their dying bed.
2 They die in Jesus, and are blest;
How calm their slumbers are!
From sufferings and from woes released,
And freed from every snare:
3 Till that illustrious morning come,
When all Thy saints shall rise,
And, decked in full immortal bloom,
Attend Thee to the skies.
4 Their tongues, great Prince of Life, shall join
With their recovered breath,
And all the immortal host ascribe
Their victory to Thy death. Topics: The Christian Life Time, Death, Eternity; Death Fear of removed; Fear of death removed Languages: English Tune Title: WARWICK
