While on the Verge of Life I Stand

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7636 Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 loved Lord to see: Earth, twine no more about my heart, For ’tis far better to depart. 3. Come, ye angelic envoys, come, And lead the willing pilgrim home! Ye know the way to Jesus’ throne— Source of my joys and of your own. 4. That blissful interview, how sweet, To fall transported at His feet: Raised in His arms to view His face, Thro’ the full beamings of His grace. Languages: English Tune Title: HEAVENLY FLIGHT

As, when the weary trav'ller gains

Hymnal: Juvenile Choir #52 (1840) First Line: As when the weary trav'ller gains Lyrics: 1 As when the weary trav'ller gains, The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives, if o'er the plains He sees his home, tho' distant still. 2 So, when the Christian pilgrim views By faith his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize. 3 The hope of heaven his spirit cheers; No more he grieves for sorrows past; Nor any future conflict fears, So he may safe arrive at last. 4 O Lord, on thee our hopes we stay, To lead us on to thine abode; Assur'd thy love will far o'erpay The hardest labours of the road.
