5 Here will I rest, and build my hopes, Nor murmur at his rod; My health, my life, my God! 646. S. M.-Psalm cxxx. 1 FROM deeps so wild and drear I call thee, Lord, most high : my cry. All evil deeds, O Lord, With thee is pardon stor’d. 3 With thee is pardon stor’d, Thine holy fear to aid. My soul in quiet stay'd. I waited patiently; My sovereign Lord on high. Less eagerly they wait Who watch the morning,—watch till morn Unbar the glorious gate. 6 Thou, Israel, wait his hour, Thine own true God: for he Comes fraught with love; in him is power From every yoke to free. 7 The freedom he bestows Is perfect: he will win From all their shame and sin. 650. L. M.-Death a blessing to the saints. 1 Cor. iii. 22. 1 DO flesh and nature dread to die? And timorous thoughts our minds enslave? But grace can raise our hopes on high, And quell the terrors of the grave. Yet grieve to think the goal so near ? And finish this important war. 3 Do we not dwell in clouds below, And little know the God we love? Why should we like this twilight so When 'tis all noon in worlds above ? 4 There shall we see him face to face, There shall we know the GREAT UNKNOWN : And Jesus with his glorious grace, Shines in full light amidst the throne. 5 When we put off this fleshly load, We're from a thousand mischiefs free, Where we have long'd and wish'd to be. 6 No more shall pride or passion rise, Or envy fret, or malice roar, And sin defile our souls no more. , Where saints and angels ever blest Dwell and enjoy their heavenly home. 8 O for a visit from my God To drive my fears of death away, To realms of everlasting day!
