4 Sinner! canst thou forever dwell HYMN 580. L C. P. M. C. WESLEY. O! on a narrow neck of land, A point of time—a moment's space- 20 God, my inmost soul convert, Give me to feel their solemn weight, 3 Before me place, in bright array, 4 Be this my one great business here, RESURRECTION. THE HYMN 581. C. M. THE winter past, reviving flowers The woods shall hear the voice of Spring, 2 Shall man depart this earthly scene, 3'Shall life revisit dying worms, And spread the insect's wing? 4'Cease-all ye vain desponding fears; 5 The trump shall sound;-the gates of death Shall make his children way; From the cold tomb the sluinb'rers spring, And shine in endless day.' HYMN 582. C. M. H. K.WHITE. } HRO' Sorrow's night and danger's path. Amid the deep'ning gloom, We, soldiers of an injur❜d King, 2 There, when the turmoil is no more, 4 These ashes poor, this little dust, 5 Then love's soft dew o'er ev'ry eye 1 And the long silent dust shall burst TH HYMN 583. L. M. THE saints, who now in Jesus sleep, His own almighty pow'r shall keep, Till dawns the bright illustrious day, When death itself shall die away 2 How loud shall our glad voices sing, 3 When Jesus we in glory meet, 1 HYMN 584. L. M. UR life how short! a groan, a sigh, OUR a a les But Oh! how great a mercy this, 2 My soul! death swallows up thy fears, 3 Oh! how the resurrection light 4 My soul, my body I will trust, DAY OF JUDGMENT. 1 HYMN 585. C. M. ADDISON Werwhelm'd with guilt and fear, THEN rising from the bed of death, I see my Maker face to face Ob, how shall I appear! 2 If yet, while pardon may be found, My heart with inward horror shrinks, 3 When thou, O Lord! shalt stand disclos'd In Majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, Oh, how shall I appear! 4 Prepare me, Lord, to meet that day, Ere yet it be too late, When I shall view these solemn scenes, And feel their awful weight. 1 HYMN 586. C. M. WATTS. THA Everlasting absence of God intolerable. THAT awful day will surely come, Th' appointed hour makes hasteWhen I must stand before my Judge, And pass the solemn test. |
