1 There is an hour when I must part
With all I hold most dear;

And life, with its best hopes, will then
As nothingness appear.

2 There is an hour when I must sink
Beneath the stroke of death;
And yield to him who gave it first,
My struggling vital breath.

3 There is an hour when I must stand
In resurrection state;

And all my sins before me come,
However small or great.

4 O Saviour, then, in all my need
Be near, be near to me :

And let my soul, by steadfast faith,
Find peace and life in thee.

The trees, that crown the mountain's brow

1 When blooming youth is snatched away 5 The trumpshall sound; the gates of death By death's resistless hand,

Our hearts the mournful tribute pay Which pity must demand.

Shall make his children way;

From the cold tomb the slumb'rers spring, And shine in endless day.
