Whence do our mournful thoughts arise?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Resurrection and death of Christ; Christ his death and resurrection; Courage in death; Death and resurrection of Christ; Death courage in it Lyrics: Whence do our mournful thoughts arise? And where's our courage fled? Have restless sin and raging hell Struck all our comforts dead? Have we forgot th' almighty name That formed the earth and sea? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? Treasures of everlasting might In our Jehovah dwell; He gives the conquest to the weak And treads their foes to hell. Mere mortal power shall fade and die, And youthful vigor cease: But we that wait upon the Lord Shall feel our strength increase. The saints shall mount on eagles' wings, And taste the promised bliss, Till their unwearied feet arrive Where perfect pleasure is. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-30

Go to thy rest, my child

Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Death Lyrics: 1 Go to thy rest, my child, Go to thy dreamless bed, Gentle and undefiled, With blessings on thy head. 2 Fresh roses in thy hand, Buds on thy pillow laid; Haste from this fearful land, Where flowers so quickly fade. 3 Before thy heart had learned In waywardness to stray; Before thy feet had turned The dark and downward way; 4 Ere sin had seared the breast, Or sorrow woke the tear; Rise to thy home of rest, In yon celestial sphere. 5 Because thy smile was fair, Thy lip and eye so bright, Because thy cradle-care Was such a fond delight,-- 6 Shall love, with weak embrace, Thy heavenward wing detain? No!--angel, seek thy place Amid heaven's cherub train.

My soul, the minutes haste away

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment; Sickness and death Lyrics: 1 My soul, the minutes haste away, Apace comes on th'important day, When in the icy arms of death I must give up my vital breath. 2 Look forward to the moving scene; How wilt thou be affected then? When from on high some sharp disease Resistless shall my vitals seize. 3 when all the springs of life are low, The spirits faint, the pulses slow; The eyes grow dim and short the breath, Presages of approaching death. 4 When clammy sweats thro' ev'ry part, Show life's retreating to the heart; Its last resistance there to make, And then the breathless frame forsake. 5 When all eternity's in sight; The brightest day, or blackest night; One shock will break the building down, And let thee into worlds unknown. 6 O come, my soul, the matter weigh! How wilt thou leave thy kindred clay! And how the unknown regions try, And launch into eternity!
