Author: W. W. Horne Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Death First Line: Death is no more a frightful foe Lyrics: 1 Death is no more a frightful foe; Since I with Christ shall reign, With joy I leave this world of woe; For me to die is gain. 2 To darkness, doubts, and fears, adieu; Adieu, thou world so vain; Then shall I know no more of you; For me to die is gain. 3 No more shall Satan tempt my soul, Corruption shall be slain; And tides of pleasure o’er me roll; For me to die is gain. 4 Nor shall I know a Father’s frown, But ever with him reign, And wear an everlasting crown, For me to die is gain. 5 Sorrow for joy I shall exchange, For ever freed from pain; And o’er the plains of Canaan range; For me to die is gain. 6 Fain would my raptured soul depart, Nor longer here remain, But dwell, dear Jesus, where thou art; For me to die is gain.

The promis'd Jewish throne! But there's a nobler covenant seal'd To David's greater son. 4 His seed forever shall possess A throne above the skies; The meanest subject of his grace Shall to that glory rise. 5 Lord God of hosts, thy wondrous ways Are sung by saints above; And saints on earth their honours rase To thy unchanging love.
