A Funeral Hymn

Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCCXVIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Miscellaneous Hymns for Sundry Occasions First Line: Most precious in our Saviour's sight Lyrics: 1 Most precious in our Saviour's sight, Are all his saints unnotic'd death! He bears them to eternal light, When they resign their mortal breath. 2 Precious the soul by him redeem'd; From threat'ning evils snatch'd away, Precious their dust, by him esteem'd, He'll raise it at the latter day. 3 Free from this world's unnumber'd cares, From Satan's rage, and human spite, From sin's distress, and gloomy fears; How precious this in Jesus' sight! 4 All this, and more, our brother proves; Now he the Son of man can see; He sees, he feels, he joys, he loves, And all from intermission free. Scripture: Colossians 3:3-4 Languages: English

Their substance bless, and peace bestow, To sweeten all the rest. 4 In purest love their souls unite, That they with christian care, May make domestic burdens light, By taking mutual share. 5 True helpers may thy prove indeed, In prayer, and faith, and hope; And see with joy a godly seed To build their household up. 6 As Isaac and Rebecca give A pattern chaste and kind; So may this married couple live, And die in friendship join'd. 7 On ev'ry soul assembled here, O make thy face to shine; Thy goodness more our hearts can cheer, Than richest food or wine.

Streams of mercy never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise: Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount!—O fix me on it, Mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise mine Ebenezer, Hither by thy help I'm come; And I hope by thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home: Jesus sought me, when a stranger, Wand'ring from the fold of God; He to save my soul from danger, Interpos'd with precious blood. 3 O! to grace how great a debtor, Daily I'm constrain'd to be! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to thee! Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love— Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it, Seal it from thy courts above. Scripture: Genesis 9:22 Languages: English
