Can thy terrors, Death, appall me; From the dead he will recall me ; 2 Jesus lives! to him the throne I shall where he is gone, go Live and reign with him in heaven: God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence. 3 Jesus lives! I know full well, Naught from him my heart can sever; Life nor death, nor powers of hell, Joy nor grief, henceforth, forever: God will power and grace dispense, This shall be my confidence. 4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death Entrance into life immortal; Calmly I can yield my breath, Fearless tread the frowning portal ; Lord, when faileth flesh and sense, Thou wilt be my confidence! 1225 89 & 45.

The soul, of origin divine, God's glorious image, freed from clay, In heaven's eternal sphere shall shine, A star of day. 5 The sun is but a spark of fire, A transient meteor in the sky: The soul, immortal as its Sire, Shall never die. Where the many mansions be; Nearer the great white throne; Nearer the crystal sea ;— 3 Nearer the bound of life, CAREY. |
