In him she did firmly believe,
Who is able and willing to save,
Neither anxious to die nor to live,

But welcome her life or her grave.

She follow'd the lamb upon earth,
And now she beholds him in heaven,
An heir of a kingdom by birth,

But now the possession is given;
Triumphant she's taken her flight,
To the mansions of glory above,
To drink with eternal delight,
Of the fullness of Jesus' love.

Oh! when our probation is o'er,

Like her may we finish with joy, When trials and time are no more, May we enter on better employ; May we join the angelic choir,

Increasing the glorified throng, Where love shall each bosom inspire, And grace be for ever the song.

HYMN II.

EARTH to earth, we now commit her,
Dust, thy kindred ashes see;
Tho' corruption call her sister,

Yet in flesh her God shall see ;
Sown this body in dishonour,

Humbling thought to human pride,

Greedy worms shall feed upon her,
"Till this flesh is all destroy'd.

Here's the goal of fallen nature,
Eas'd of every worldly good,

But the soul like its Creator,

Back returns again to God;

Write from henceforth says the spirit,
Blessed they in Jesus dead,

Rest and glory they inherit,

With their Lord and living head.

Mourn not then at what's before ye,

Weep not o'er your breathless friend, Would you bring her back from glory? Would ye have her pleasures end? Envy you her situation,

Grieve ye not that she's no more, Think not this a sad occasion,

But with her your God adore.

HYMN III.

HAPPY spirit now ascended,
Into everlasting rest,

Now the pilgrimage is ended,

Number'd now among the dead;
Here thy days were few and evil,
There thy years for ever roll,
Free'd from flesh, the world, and devil,
They no more thy peace controul.

Here for full redemption groaning,
Travelling here in pain below,
Patient suffering scarce bemoaning,

Want of health which others know;
Comforts flowing from that favour,
Which a God of love made known,
Through a sin-atoning Saviour,
By the spirit made her own.

Happy in the fiery trial,

Happy when the summons came,

Faith in God, fear'd no denial,

Life or death to her the same;

Shakes her earthly habitation,

While she cries "thy will be done,"

Precious Jesus, great salvation,

Perfect Lord what thou'st begun.

Agonies and pains betoken,

That the silver cord is loos'd

That the Golden bowl is broken,
Nature's music all confus'd;

Notwithstanding grinders ceased,
And the windows darkened be,
She, as vital strength decreased,
Has put off mortality.

Speech and breath and pulse abating,
As she closed her languid eyes,
Friends sorrounding angels waiting,
Wafts her soul above the skies;
Ope ye gates ye beauteous portals,
Entrance to the blest abode,
Now she wings her way from mortals,
Evermore to dwell with God.

Like the sound of many waters,

Hosts of heaven their voices raise, Angels, cherubs, saints and martyrs. Join in sweet harmonious lays; Hark! the eternal arches ringing, While they bow before the throne, While the blood-bought throng is singing, Glory be to God alone.

Glory be to God for ever,

To the Lamb that once was slain,
Strong and mighty to deliver,

Sinners from eternal pain;
True and faithful to accomplish,
That for which he bled and died,
Sin to pardon, death to vanquish,
And to purify his bride."

Jesus hear thy children praying,
Hear the Spirit crying, come!

Come, thy bride is also saying,
Jesus come and take her home;
Lord how long those souls are crying,
That beneath the altar lay,

Lord how long thy saints replying,
Ere the work of endless day.
