The Sinner's Portion and Saint's Hope; or, the Heaven of separate Souls, and the Resurection
Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: Souls in separate state; Souls in separate state First Line: Lord, I am thine; but thou wilt prove Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am thine: but thy wilt prove
My faith, my patience, and my love;
When men of spite against me join,
They are the sword, the hand is thine.
2 Their hope and portion lie below;
’Tis all the happiness they know,
’Tis all they seek; they take their shares,
And leave the rest among their heirs,
3 What sinners value, I resign;
Lord, ’tis enough that thou art mine:
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.
4 This life’s a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world, to which I go,
Hath joys substantial and sincere;
When shall I wake and find me there?
5 O glorious hour! O blest abode!
I shall be near, and like my God?
And flesh and sin no more controul
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
6 My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound:
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour’s image rise. Scripture: Psalm 17

Praise to God for his Goodness and Truth
Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Souls in separate state; Souls in separate state First Line: Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, my heart shall join
In work so pleasant, so divine;

While immortality endures;
My days of praise shall ne’er be past,
While life and thought and being last.

And thoughts all vanish in an hour.
4 Happy the man, whose hopes rely
On Israel’s God: He made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train,
And none shall find his promise vain.
5 His truth forever stands secure;
He saves th’ opprest, he feeds the poor;
He sends the labouring conscience peace,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
6 The Lord to sight restores the blind;
The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless.
7 He loves his saints, he knows them well;
But turns the wicked down to hell;
Thy God, O Zion, ever reigns;
Praise him in everlasting strains. Scripture: Psalm 146

Praise to God for his Goodness and Truth
Lift up your eyes to th' heavenly seats
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Souls in separate state Lyrics:
Lift up your eyes to th' heav'nly seats
Where your Redeemer stays;
Kind Intercessor, there he sits,
And loves, and pleads, and prays.
'Twas well, my soul, he died for thee,
And shed his vital blood;
Appeased stern justice on the tree,
And then arose to God.
Petitions now, and praise may rise,
And saints their off'rings bring;
The Priest, with his own sacrifice,
Presents them to the King.
[Let papists trust what names they please,
Their saints and angels boast;
We've no such advocates as these,
Nor pray to th' heav'nly host.]
Jesus alone shall bear my cries
Up to his Father's throne;
He, dearest Lord! perfumes my sighs,
And sweetens every groan.
[Ten thousand praises to the King,
"Hosannah in the highest!"
Ten thousand thanks our spirits bring
To God and to his Christ.]
Scripture: Psalm 17
Lift up your eyes to th' heavenly seats
O 'tis a lovely thing to see
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Souls in separate state Lyrics:
O 'tis a lovely thing to see
A man of prudent heart,
Whose thoughts, and lips, and life agree
To act a useful part.
When envy, strife, and wars begin
In little angry souls,
Mark how the sons of peace come in,
And quench the kindling coals.
Their minds are humble, mild, and meek,
Nor let their fury rise;
Nor passion moves their lips to speak,
Nor pride exalts their eyes.
Their frame is prudence mixed with love,
Good works fulfil their day;
They join the serpent with the dove,
But cast the sting away.
Such was the Savior of mankind,
Such pleasures he pursued;
His flesh and blood were all refined,
His soul divinely good.
Lord, can these plants of virtue grow
In such a heart as mine?
Thy grace my nature can renew,
And make my soul like thine.
Scripture: Matthew 10:16
O 'tis a lovely thing to see
God is the Refuge of his Saints
Appears in 462 hymnals Topics: Souls in a separate State Lyrics: 1 God is the Refuge of his Saints,
When Storms of sharp Distress invade;
E'er we can offer our Complaints,
Behold him present with his Aid.
2 Let Mountains from their Seats be hurl'd
Down to the Deep, and buried there:
Convulsions shake the solid World,
Our Faith shall never yield to Fear.
3 Loud may the troubl'd Ocean roar,
In sacred Peace our Souls abide,
While ev'ry Nation, ev'ry Shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling Tide.
4 There is a Stream, whose gentle Flow
Supplies the City of our GOD;
Life, Love, and Joy still gliding through,
And wat'ring our divine Abode.
5 That sacred Stream, thine holy Word,
That all our raging Fear controuls:
Sweet Peace thy Promises afford,
And give new Strength to fainting Souls.
6 Sion enjoys her Monarch's Love,
Secure against a threat'ning Hour;
Nor can her firm Foundations move,
Built on his Truth, and arm'd with Pow'r. Scripture: Psalm 46
God is the Refuge of his Saints
Let Sion in her King rejoice
Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Souls in a separate State Lyrics: 1 Let Sion in her King rejoice
Though Tyrants rage, and Kingdoms rise;
He utters his Almighty Voice,
The Nations melt, the Tumult dies.
2 The Lord of old for Jacob fought,
And Jacob's GOD is still our Aid:
Behold the Works his Hand has wrought,
What Desolations he has made.
3 From Sea to Sea, through all the Shores,
He makes the Noise of Battle cease;
When from on high his Thunder roars,
He awes the trembling World to Peace.
4 He breaks the Bow, he cuts the Spear
Chariots he burns with heav'nly Flame;
Keep Silence all the Earth, and hear
The Sound and Glory of his Name.
5 "Be still, and learn that I am GOD,
"I'll be exalted o'er the Lands;
"I will be known and fear'd abroad,
"But still my Throne in Sion stands."
6 O Lord of Hosts, Almighty King,
While we so near thy Presence dwell,
Our Faith shall sit secure, and sing
Defiance to the Gates of Hell. Scripture: Psalm 46
Let Sion in her King rejoice
