Death! 'Tis An Awful Word
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Death! ’tis an awful word Lyrics:
1 Death! ’tis an awful word,
And fills the mind with fear;
But joyful is a dying bed,
If Thou, oh God, art near.
2 Let but my numerous sins
Behind Thy back be cast.
The poisonous sting of death is gone,
The bitterness is past.
3 To unbelieving man,
Wrath quickly follows death;
The dreaded portion he receives,
When he resigns his breath.
4 To mortals all around,
He looks for help in vain;
Nor means, nor ministers, nor friends
Can mitigate his pain.
5 But let sufficient grace
In my last hours be giv’n,
Twill spread a luster over death,
And be the dawn of Heav’n.

What cheering words are these!
Author: John Kent Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these!
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and to eternity,
’Tis with the righteous well.
2 In every state secure,
Kept by Jehovah’s eye,
’Tis well with them while life endures,
And well when called to die.
3 ’Tis well when joys arise,
’Tis well when sorrows flow;
’Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
And strong temptations blow.
4 ’Tis well when on the mount
They feast on dying love;
And ’tis as well, in God’s account,
When they the furnace prove.
5 'Tis well when Jesus calls:
"From earth and sin, arise,
Join with the hosts of virgin souls,
Made to salvation wise!"
Amen.

The Best That Heav'n Could Bring
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The best that Heav’n could bring Lyrics: 1 The best that Heav’n could bring—
First fruits, an offering free—
Was brought from far, when by the star,
The wise men came to Thee.
2 No scepter, and no throne!
The magi were amazed,
As, with surprise, on humble guise
And poverty, they gazed.
3 But there Thy God-head shone,
Despite the manger bed;
O Christ, the Lord, Incarnate Word!
’Twas there Thou laid’st Thy head. Used With Tune: LAKE ENON Text Sources: Hymns from the East (Paisley, Scotland: Alexander Gardner, 1907)
