In him she did firmly believe, But welcome her life or her grave. She follow'd the lamb upon earth, But now the possession is given; 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, Yet in flesh her God shall see ; Humbling thought to human pride, Greedy worms shall feed upon her, Here's the goal of fallen nature, But the soul like its Creator, Back returns again to God; Write from henceforth says the spirit, 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, Now the pilgrimage is ended, Number'd now among the dead; Here for full redemption groaning, Want of health which others know; 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, Notwithstanding grinders ceased, Speech and breath and pulse abating, 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, Sinners from eternal pain; Jesus hear thy children praying, Come, thy bride is also saying, Lord how long thy saints replying, BOOKS PUBLISHED BY J.
