Hymn 27
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 97 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:18 First Line: Death may dissolve my body now Lyrics:
[Death may dissolve my body now,
And bear my spirit home;
Why do my minutes move so slow,
Nor my salvation come?
With heav'nly weapons I have fought
The battles of the Lord;
Finished my course, and kept the faith,
And wait the sure reward.]
God has laid up in heav'n for me
A crown which cannot fade;
The righteous Judge at that great day
Shall place it on my head.
Nor hath the King of grace decreed
This prize for me alone;
But all that love and long to see
Th' appearance of his Son.
Jesus the Lord shall guard me safe
From every ill design;
And to his heav'nly kingdom keep
This feeble soul of mine.
God is my everlasting aid,
And hell shall rage in vain;
To him be highest glory paid
And endless praise--Amen.

with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 Oh, may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever-joyful hearts
and blessèd peace to cheer us,
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
in this world and the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God
who reigns in highest heaven --
the Father and the Son
and Spirit -- now be given:

Who would true valour see
Author: John Bunyan (1628-1688) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 160 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:16-18 Lyrics: 1 Who would true valour see,
let him come hither;
one here will constant be,
come wind, come weather;
there's no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset him round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound;
his strength the more is.
No lion can him fright;
he'll with a giant fight,
but he will have a right
to be a pilgrim.
3 Hobgoblin nor foul friend
can daunt his spirit;
he knows he at the end
shall life inherit.
Then fancies fly away;
he'll fear not what men say;
he'll labour night and day
to be a pilgrim. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Conflict; Courage; Pilgrimage Used With Tune: MONK'S GATE

What a friend we have in Jesus
Author: Joseph Scriven (1819-1886) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,789 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:16 Lyrics: 1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
oh, what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations,
is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged:
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness:
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy-laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Jesus is our only refuge:
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Assurance; Grief; Prayer; Temptation Used With Tune: CONVERSE

My race is run; my warfare's o'er
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:18 Lyrics:
My race is run; my warfare’s o’er;
the solemn hour is nigh,
When, offered up to God, my soul
shall wing its flight on high.
With heav’nly weapons I have fought
the battles of the Lord;
Finished my course, and kept the faith,
depending on his word.
Henceforth there is laid up for me
a crown which cannot fade;
The righteous Judge at that great day
shall place it on my head.
Nor hath the Sov’reign Lord decreed
this prize for me alone;
But for all such as love like me
th’ appearance of his Son.
From ev’ry snare and evil work
his grace shall me defend,
And to his heav’nly kingdom safe
shall bring me in the end.
My race is run; my warfare's o'er

In Heavenly Love Abiding
Author: Anna Laetitia Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 590 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:18 Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever He may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure,
The path to life is free;
My Saviour has my treasure,
And He will walk with me.
Amen. Topics: Cheerfulness; Christ Guide; Christ Way, The; Contentment; Peace, Spiritual; Walking with God; Life in Christ Peace Used With Tune: NYLAND
