Yet if my God prolong my breath, The saints may profit by 't; The saints, the glory of the earth, The men of my delight. Let heathens to their idols haste, And worship wood or stone; But my delightful lot is cast Where the true God is known. His hand provides my constant food, He fills my daily cup; Much am I pleased with present good, But more rejoice in hope. God is my portion and my joy, His counsels are my light; He gives me sweet advice by day, And gentle hints by night. My soul would all her thoughts approve To his all-seeing eye; Not death, nor hell, my hope shall move, While such a Friend is nigh. Scripture: Psalm 16:1-8 Languages: English

Then let his pride advance, And boast of all his store; The Lord is my inheritance, My soul can wish no more. I shall behold the face Of my forgiving God; And stand complete in righteousness, Washed in my Savior's blood. There's a new heav'n begun, When I awake from death, Dressed in the likeness of thy Son, And draw immortal breath. Scripture: Psalm 17 Languages: English

On the Death of a Saint

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XXVII (1791) Topics: Death and Resurrection First Line: Blessed are they (the Scriptures say) Lyrics: 1 Blessed are they (the Scriptures say) That dying win the Prize, For rest they shall, their good works all Do follow them likewise. 2 Death's but a Sleep, why should we weep For those in Christ who die? Since this we know to Peace they go, And Joys possess on High. 3 Altho' to dust their Bodies must Be turn'd beneath the Clod, Yet they shall rise above the Skies, And ever live with God. 4 Christ will aloud before the Crowd Cmpos'd of Adam's Race, Confess them dear, who own'd him here, And bore for him Disgrace. 5 Robes they shall have that will outbrave The Whiteness of the Snow; Most pure and bright, like shining Light; Such Jesus will bestow. 6 Then why need we dejected be? Our Loss is their great Gain; For they shall stand at Christ's right Hand, And with their Saviour reign. 7 Their happy Days are spent in praise, While here we sign and groan; could we but see how blest they be, 'Twould make us cease to moan. 8 If there was End, 'twould Trouble send, And would eclipse the Joy, But 'tis not so, they'll never go Out of that sweet Employ. 9 When they've been there ten Million Years, And Millions more are done, They've no less Days to sing God's Praise Than when they first begun.

We ask thine envoy to convey Our spirits in his stead. 3 Out souls are rising on the wing, To venture in his place; For when grim death has lost his sting, He has an angel's face. 4 Jesus, then purge my crimes away, 'Till guilt creates my fears; 'Tis guilt gives death his fierce array, And all the arms he bears. 5 Oh! if my threatning sins were gone, And death had lost his sting, I could invite the angels on, And chide his lazy wing. 6 Away these interpoling days, And let the loves meet; The angle has a cold embrace, But kind, and soft, and sweet. 7 I'd leap at once my seventy years, I'd rush into his arms, And lose my breath, and all my cares, Amid those heavenly charms, 8 Joyful I'd lay this body down, And leave this lifeless clay, Without a sigh, without a groan, And stretch and soar away.
