4 With what raptures he'll embrace us, Wipe away each falling tear! Near himself for ever place us, And with love our bosoms cheer: Hallelujah!
We shall with the Lamb appear!
Joy in the Prospect of Heaven. THE God that rules on high, And thunders when he please; That rides upon the stormy sky,
And manages the seas;
This awful God is ours,
Our Father and our love;
He shall send down his heavenly powers To carry us above.
There shall we see his face,
And never, never sin;
There, from the rivers of his grace,
Drink endless pleasures in.
To know my Jesus crucified, By far excels all things beside; All earthly good I count but loss, And triumph in my Saviour's cross. 2 Knowledge of all terrestrial things Ne'er to my soul true pleasure brings; No peace-but in the Son of God; No joy-but through his pardoning blood.
3 O could I know and love him more, And all his wondrous grace explore, Ne'er would I covet man's esteem, But part with all, and follow him. 4 Lord, may I bear my every loss; Be patient under every cross; Never may I my Saviour blame, Though I'm despised for his dear name. 5 Thus make me willing, glorious Lamb, To suffer all things for thy name; At last be where my Jesus is,
And rise to everlasting bliss.
Christ the Keeper of his Saints.
CHRIST is the keeper of his saints, He guards them by his power; Subdues their numerous complaints, In every gloomy hour.
2 What though they fear each dread alarm, Tried, and severely toss'd;
Held by the Saviour's mighty arm, None, none can e'er be lost.
8 He'll lead them on fair Zion's road, Though weary, weak, and faint;
For O! they ne'er shall lose their God, Or God e'er lose a saint.
4 How sure his great salvation shines! How full the vast reward!
How firm the promise e'er remains! How faithful is the Lord!
