Thy chosen cannot die; Like thee, they conquer in the strife, To reign with thee on high. Used With Tune: GREENWOOD

The God of love will sure indulge

Author: Anon. Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 The God of love will sure indulge The flowing tear, the heaving sigh, When death inflicts his fatal wound, When tender friends and kindred die. 2 Yet not one anxious, murmuring thought Should with our morning passions blend, Nor would our bleeding hearts forget The almighty, ever-living Friend. 3 Beneath a numerous train of ills Our feeble flesh and heart may fail; Yet shall our hope in thee, our God, O'er every gloomy fear prevail. 4 Our Father, God! to thee we look, Our Rock, our Portion, and our Friend; And on thy covenant love and truth, Our sinking souls shall still depend.

Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 933 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Time, Death, Eternity Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest; I know not, O I know not What social joys are there! What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesu, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Used With Tune: EWING

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Appears in 3,389 hymnals Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Death Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stay'd; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity. Amen. Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE

Like shadows gliding o'er the plain

Author: Jane Taylor Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Like shadows gliding o'er the plain, Or clouds that roll successive on, Man's busy generations pass, And while we gaze, their forms are gone. 2 We live, we die: behold the sum Of good or ill on life's fair page; Alike in God's all-seeing eye, The infant's day, the patriarch's age. 3 O Father, in whose mighty hand The boundless years and ages lie, Teach us thy boon of life to prize, And use the moments as they fly.
