| 1 'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope, That when my change shall come, Angels will hover round my bed, And waft my spirit home! 2 There shall my disimprison'd soul Behold Him and adore; Be with his likeness satisfied, And grieve and sin no more: 3 Shall see Him wear that very flesh On which my guilt was lain; His love intense, His merit fresh, As though but newly slain. 4 Soon, too, my slumbering dust shall hear The trumpet's quick'ning sound; And, by my Saviour's power rebuilt, At His right hand be found. 5 These eyes shall see Him in that day, The God that died for me! And all my rising bones shall say, Lord, who is like to Thee! 6 If such the views which grace unfolds, Weak as it is below, What raptures must the Church above, In Jesus' presence know. | Hymns, Selected and Original: for public and private worship (1st ed.) #474 (1828) Church Book: for the use of Evangelical Lutheran congregations #564 (1890) Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #469 (1870) |
