The Crown coming

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Soul, then know thy full salvation Lyrics: 1 Soul, then know thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father's smiles are thine; Think that Jesus died to win thee! Child of heaven, canst thou repine? 2 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer! Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there: Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

O happy soul that lives on high!

While men lie grov'ling here, His hopes are fix'd above the sky, And faith forbids his fear. 2 His conscience knows no secret stings; While grace and joy combine To form a life, whose holy springs Are hidden and divine. 3 He waits in secret on his God, His God in secret sees, Let earth be all in arms abroad, He dwells in heav'nly peace. 4 His pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world and time, Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of mortals climb. 5 He looks to heav'n's eternal hill, To meet that glorious day, When Christ his promise shall fulfil And call his soul away.

All my times are in thy hand, All events at thy command. 2 Thou didst form me in the womb, Thou wilt guide me to the tomb; All my times shall ever be Order'd by thy wise decree: 3 Times of sickness, times of health; Times of penury and wealth; Times of trial and of grief; Times of triumph and relief: 4 Times temptation's power to prove, Times to taste a Saviour's love; All is fix'd--the means and end, As shall please my heavenly Friend. 5 Plagues and deaths around me fly; Till he bids I cannot die; Not a single shaft can hit, Till the God of love sees fit.

While on the verge of life I stand

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Christian in the prospect of death Lyrics: 1 While on the verge of life I stand, And view the scene on either hand, My spirit struggles with my clay, And longs to wing its flight away. 2 Where Jesus dwells my soul would be, And faints my much-lov'd Lord to see; Earth, twine no more about my heart! For 'tis far better to depart 3 Come, ye angelic convoys! come, And lead the willing pilgrim home; Ye know the way to Jesus' throne,-- Source of my joys, and of your own. 4 The blissful interview, how sweet! To fall transported at his feet! Rais'd in his arms, to view his face Through the full beamings of his grace! 5 As with a seraphs voice to sing! To fly as on a cherub's wing! Performing, with unwearied hands, The present Saviour's high commands. 6 Yet, with these prospects full in sight, We'll wait thy signal for the flight, For, while thy service we pursue, We find a heaven in all we do. Scripture: Philippians 1:23

Happy the hours, the golden days

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Doubts and Fears Lyrics: 1 Happy the hours, the golden days, When I could call my Jesus mine, And sit, and view his smiling face, And melt in pleasures all divine. 2 But now he's gone (O mighty wo!) Gone from my soul and hides his love! I hate the sins that griev'd him so, The sins that forc'd him to remove! 3 Yet let my hope look through my tears, And spy afar his rolling throne, His chariot through the cleaving spheres Shall bring the bright Beloved down. 4 Swift as a roe flies o'er the hills, My soul springs out to meet him high: Then shall the conqu'ror turn his wheels And climb the mansions of the sky.
