And must this body die?
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 378 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must this body die?
This mortal frame decay?
And must these active limbs of mine
Lie mould'ring in the clay?
2 Corruption, earth, and worms,
Shall but refine this flesh,
Till my triumphant spirit comes
To put it on afresh.
3 God, my Redeemer, lives,
And ever, from the skies,
Looks down and watches all my dust,
Till He shall bid it rise.
4 Arrayed in glorious grace
Shall these vile bodies shine,
And ev'ry shape, and ev'ry face,
Look heav'nly and divine.
5 These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying love;
We would adore His grace below,
And sing His power above.
6 Dear Lord, accept the praise
Of these our humble songs,
Till tunes of nobler sound we raise
With our immortal tongues. Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Used With Tune: SHAWMUT

My Former Hopes Are Dead
Author: William Cowper Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 130 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My former hopes are dead,
My terror now begins;
I feel, alas! that I am dead
In trespasses and sins.
2 Ah whither shall I fly?
I hear the thunder roar;
The law proclaims destruction nigh,
And vengeance at the door.
3 When I review my ways,
I dread impending doom;
But sure a friendly whisper says,
"Flee from the wrath to come."
4 I see, or think I see,
A glimmering from afar;
A beam of day that shines for me,
To save me from despair.
5 Forerunner of the sun,
It marks the pilgrim’s way;
I’ll gaze upon it while I run,
And watch the rising day.

My Former Hopes Are Dead
Rest for the toiling hand
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rest for the toiling hand,
Rest for the anxious brow,
Rest for the weary, way-worn feet,
Rest from all labor now.
2 Rest for the fevered brain,
Rest for the throbbing eye;
Thro' these parched lips of thine no more
Shall pass the moan or sigh.
3 Soon shall the trump of God
Give out the welcome sound
That shakes thy silent chamber walls,
And breaks the turf-sealed ground.
4 Ye dwellers in the dust.
Awake! come forth and sing;
Sharp has your frost of winter been,
But bright shall be your spring.
5 'Twas sown in weakness here,
'Twill then be raised in power;
That which was sown an earthly seed,
Shall rise a heavenly flower! Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: SHAWMUT

And is there, Lord, a rest
O for the death of those
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 183 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, for the death of those
Who slumber in the Lord!
O, be like theirs my last repose,
Like theirs my last reward!
2 Their bodies in the ground
In silent hope may lie,
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound
Shall call them to the sky.
3 Then ransomed they will soar
On wings of faith and love.
To meet the Saviour they adore,
And reign with him above.
4 With us their names shall live
Through the remaining years,
Embalmed with all our hearts can give
Our praises and our tears.
5 O, for the death of those
Who slumber in the Lord!
O, be like theirs my last repose,
Like theirs my last reward! Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: SHAWMUT
