Happy the man whose wishes climb

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Confidence in God Lyrics: 1 Happy the man whose wishes climb To mansions in the skies! He looks on all the joys of time With undesiring eyes. 2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms, And throws her silken chain; And wealth and fame invite his arms, And tempt his ear in vain. 3 He knows that all these glitt'ring things Must yield to sure decay; And sees on time's extended wings How swift they flee away. 4 To things unseen by mortal eyes, A beam of sacred light Directs his view; his prospects rise All permanent and bright. 5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come: Those blissful scenes on high Shall flourish in immortal bloom, When time and nature die.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 367 hymnals Topics: Confidence in God Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On Thee when sorrows rise, On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief For ev'ry pain I feel. 3 But, oh! when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call Thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail. And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to Thee, Though prostrate in the dust.
