There is an hour of peaceful rest
Author: William Bingham Tappan Appears in 566 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wand’rers giv'n:
There is a joy for souls distressed,
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast,
’Tis found above in heav'n.
2 There is a soft, a downy bed,
'Tis fair as breath of even;
A couch for weary mortals spread,
Where they may rest the aching head,
And find repose in heaven.
3 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The ev'ning shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.
5 There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There, joys divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven. Used With Tune: TAPPAN
There is an hour of peaceful rest
And must this body die?
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 376 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 And must this body die?
This mortal frame decay?
And must these active limbs of mine
Lie mould'ring in the clay?
2 Corruption, earth, and worms,
Shall but refine this flesh,
Till my triumphant spirit comes
To put it on afresh.
3 God, my Redeemer, lives,
And ever, from the skies,
Looks down and watches all my dust,
Till He shall bid it rise.
4 Arrayed in glorious grace
Shall these vile bodies shine,
And ev'ry shape, and ev'ry face,
Look heav'nly and divine.
5 These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying love;
We would adore His grace below,
And sing His power above.
6 Dear Lord, accept the praise
Of these our humble songs,
Till tunes of nobler sound we raise
With our immortal tongues. Used With Tune: SHAWMUT
And must this body die?
Let thoughtless thousands chose the road
Author: Rev. Joseph Hoskins Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
2 On Christ, by faith, I fain would live,
From Him, my life, my all receive;
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my powers.
3 Christ is my everlasting all;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my ev'ry want supply,
In time, and through eternity.
4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here;
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain;
To live is Christ--to die is gain.
5 Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through ev'ry golden street,
And sing on ev'ry blissful plain,
To live is Christ--to die is gain. Used With Tune: MENDON
Let thoughtless thousands chose the road

There is an hour of hallowed peace
Author: William Bingham Tappan Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace,
For those with care oppress'd,
When sighs and sorr'wing tears shall cease,
And all be hushed to rest:
2 ‘Tis then the soul is freed from fears,
And doubts here here annoy:
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.
3 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no more;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
On that celestial shore:
4 There purity with love appears,
And bliss without alloy;
Then they that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES (Durham)
There is an hour of hallowed peace
There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,402 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-with'ring flowers:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav’nly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dressed in living green:
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
But tim'rous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering, on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And view the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes!
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Used With Tune: VARINA
There is a land of pure delight
