Happy the man whose wishes climb
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience; Confidence in God; Faith overcoming the world; Faith Blessedness of; Goodness of God a ground of trust; Happiness of love and trust; Happiness of hope; Pilgrimage of life; Resignation 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.
Happy the man whose wishes climb

Lyrics: 1 What wait I for but Thee?
My hope is in thy Name;
From all my sins deliver me,
Nor put my soul to shame.
2 I suffered silently,
Because Thy will is best;
Remove Thy heavy stroke from me,
For I am sore distressed.
3 When sin thou dost repay
And chasten and restrain,
Man's beauty quickly fades away;
Yea, human life is vain.
4 O Lord, regard my fears,
And answer my request;
Turn not in silence from my tears,
But give the mourner rest.
5 I am a stranger here,
Dependent on Thy grace,
A pilgrim, as my fathers were,
With no abiding place.
6 O spare me and restore
My failing strength, I pray;
Ere I go hence and be no more,
The hand of judgment stay.
Scripture: Psalm 39 Used With Tune: DULCE DOMUM

Author: Johann Wilhelm Meinhold, D. D.; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast still'd
Now Thy little lamb’s last weeping;
Ah! how peaceful, pale and mild
In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping!
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
2 In this world of care and pain,
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny heavenly plain
Dost Thou now in joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light. Used With Tune: SAXONY (Meinen Jesum lass ich nicht)
Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast still'd

Life is the time to serve thee, Lord
Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!
Author: Thomas of Celano, 14th Century; Dr. William Josiah Irons Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' warning,
Heav'n and earth in ashes burning!
2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth!
3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth;
Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.
4 Death is struck, and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded:
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
6 When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.
7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?
8 King of Majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us!
9 Think, kind Jesus, my salvation
Caused Thy wondrous incarnation;
Fount of pity, then befriend us!
10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suffering bought me;
Shall such grace in vain be brought me?
11 Righteous Judge of retribution,
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that day's dread execution.
12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning!
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning!
13 Thou the woman gav'st remission,
Heardst the dying thief's petition:
Hopeless else were my condition.
14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying!
15 With Thy favored sheep, O place me!
Nor amid the goats abase me:
But to Thy right hand upraise me.
16 While the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me, with Thy saints surrounded.
17 Bows my heart in meek submission,
Strewn with ashes of contrition;
Succor Thou my lost condition!
18 Day of sorrow, Day of weeping,
When in dust no longer sleeping,
Man awakes in Thy dread keeping!
19 To the rest Thou didst prepare me,
On Thy Cross, O Christ, upbear me!
Spare, O God, in mercy spare me! Used With Tune: DIES IRAE
Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!
My faith securely buildeth
Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 My faith securely buildeth
On Christ who shed His blood;
This, and this only, yieldeth
The true eternal good.
The life that my soul liveth,
Finds nothing on the earth;
What Christ, the Savior, giveth
Of all our love is worth.
2 No angel, nought that gladdens,
No throne nor majesty,
No love, nor aught that saddens,
No grief nor misery,
Nor aught that man discovers,
Now be it small or great,
From Thee, my heavenly Lover's
Embrace can separate.
3 My heart with joy is springing,
And sad I cannot be;
'Tis full of joy and singing,
The sunshine doth it see.
The Sun that looks with pleasure
On me is Christ my King;
The glory beyond measure
That waits me, makes me sing.
My faith securely buildeth
O Joyful Sound of Gospel Grace
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 135 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Hope and Aspiration First Line: O joyful sound of gospel grace! Lyrics: 1 O joyful sound of gospel grace!
Christ shall in me appear,
Christ shall in me appear!
I, even I, shall see His face;
I shall be holy here,
I shall be holy here.
2 The glorious crown of righteousness
To me reached out, I view,
To me reached out, I view;
Conqueror through Him, I soon shall seize
And wear it as my due,
And wear it as my due.
3 The promised land from Pisgah’s top
I now exult to see,
I now exult to see;
My hope is full, O glorious hope!
Of immortality,
Of immortality.
4 With me, I know, I feel, Thou art;
But this cannot suffice,
But this cannot suffice,
Unless Thou plantest in my heart
A constant paradise,
A constant paradise.
Scripture: Romans 14:8 Used With Tune: OLMSTED

Oh, may I call Thee mine?
Give me with humble hope to claim
A portion so divine.
2 Whate'er Thy will denies,
I calmly would resign;
For Thou art just, and good, and wise:
O bend my will to Thine!
3 Whate'er Thy will ordains,
O give me strength to bear;
Still let me know a Father reigns,
And trust a Father's care.
4 Thy ways are little known
To my weak, erring sight;
Yet shall my soul, believing, own,
That all Thy ways are right. Used With Tune: PARAH Text Sources: New York Collection, 1830, Isaac Watts of Anna Steele

Mourn not ye whose child hath found
Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Mourn not ye whose child hath found
Purer skies and holier ground;
Flow'rs of bright and pleasant hue,
Free from thorns and fresh with dew.
2 Mourn not ye whose child hath fled
From this region of the dead,
To yon winged angel-band,
To a better, fairer land.
3 Knowledge in that clime doth grow
Free from weeds of toil and wo,
Joys which mortals may not share;
Mourn ye not, your child is there. Used With Tune: MOZART Text Sources: Union S. S. Hymn-book, 1845
Mourn not ye whose child hath found
