When, rising from the bed of death
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #479 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 When, rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelm'd with guilt and fear,
I see my Maker face to face,
Oh, how shall I appear?
2 If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought:--
3 When Thou, O Lord! shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgment on my soul,
Oh, how shall I appear!
4 But there's forgiveness, Lord, with Thee;
Thy nature is benign:
Thy pard'ning mercy I implore
For mercy, Lord, is Thine.
5 Oh, let Thy boundless mercy shine
On my benighted soul!
Correct my passions, mend my heart,
And all my fears control.
6 And may I taste Thy richer grace,
In that decisive hour.
When Christ to judgment shall descend
And time shall be no more. Languages: English
When, rising from the bed of death
Oh, where shall rest be found
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #480 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul?
'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
2 The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
'Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years--
And all that life is love.
4 There is a death whose pang
Outlasts the fleeting breath:
Oh, what eternal horrors hang
Around the second death!
5 Lord God of truth and grace!
Teach us that death to shun:
Lest we be driven from Thy face,
And evermore undone.
6 Here would we end our quest;
Alone are found in Thee
The life of perfect love, the rest
Of immortality. Languages: English
Oh, where shall rest be found
