Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest;
The glories that compose thy name
Stand all engag'd to make me blest.
2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise,
Thou art my Father and my God;
And I am thine by sacred ties;
Thy son, thy servant bought with blood.
3 With heart and eyes and lifted hands
For thee I long, to thee I look,
As travellers in thirsty lands
Pant for the cooling water brook.
4 With early feet I love t' appear
Among thy saints, and seek thy face,
Oft have I seen thy glory there,
And felt the power of sovereign grace.
5 Not fruits nor vines that tempt our taste,
No pleasures that to sense belong,
Could make me so divinely blest,
Or raise so high my cheerful song.
6 My life itself without thy love
No taste or pleasure could afford,
'Twould but a tiresome burden prove,
If I were banish'd from the Lord.
7 Amidst the wakeful hours of night,
When busy cares afflict my head,
One thought of thee gives new delight,
And adds refreshment to my bed.
8 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice,
While I have breath to pray or praise;
This work shall make my heart rejoice,
And spend the remnant of my days. Scripture: Psalm 63 Languages: English

And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow.

With every blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord our righteousness,
And keeps his own in perfect peace
And everlasting rest.

Nor this side Jordan longer stop,
But the good land possess:
When shall we end our legal years,
Our sorrows, sins, and doubts, and fears,
An howling wilderness!

Display thy grace, forgive our sin,
Our unbelief remove:
The heavenly Canaan, Lord divide,
And, O, with all the sanctify'd,
Give us a lot of love! Scripture: Numbers 13:30 Languages: English

And wand'ring Swallows long
To find their wonted Rest:

With equal Zeal
To rise and dwell
Among thy Saints.

Where GOD appoints to hear!
O happy Men that pay
Their constant Service there!
They praise Thee still;
And happy they
That love the Way
To Zion's Hill!

Thro' this dark Vale of Tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in Heav'n appears:
O glorious Seat,
When GOD our King
Shall thither bring
Our willing Feet!

Mourning, and drooping, here I lie
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CLXXXI (1791) Topics: Longing after Christ Lyrics: 1 Mourning, and drooping, here I lie
Upon this earthly Clod,
While heav'nly Things invite my Eye,
And bring me to my GOD.
2 Transported with a glorious View
Of God's eternal Love,
Unto this World I bid adieu,
And long to be Above.
3 There all the Saints in Harmony
Do stand forevermore,
And to a vast Eternity
Their glorious Lord adore,
4 Hark! Hark! Methinks I hear the Sound;
Methinks the Angels sing;
The glorious Melody goes round,
Which makes the Heav'ns to ring.
5 The Saints above do sing a Song
(In a melodious Strain)
Which doth to God alone belong,
And to the Lamb once slain.
6 Wonder, and Love, and Joy, and Praise,
Fill all their happy Souls,
While the vast Flood of sov'reign Grace
Through all the Region rolls.
7 The Saints all cloth'd in white Array,
Their Saviour's Praise declare;
Through the bright Realms of endless Day
There's not one Mourner there.
8 But oh, the Glory of the Place,
No Mortal Tongue can tell!
Where they behold their Saviour's Face,
And in his Presence dwell.
9 Oh, how they each perform their Parts,
Thro' all the happy Train!
This glorious Song inspires their Hearts,
Worthy the Lamb, once slain!
10 Amen, they cry, Amen, Amen,
Thy Ways oh God are true;
Blessing and Glory, Wisdom, and
Thanksgiving is thy Due.
11 Honour, and Pow'r and endless Might,
Be giv'n to Thee, oh Lord!
In this sweet Song thy all unite,
And sing with One Accord.
12 Oh, how the bending Seraphs join
To praise the God Above!
While all the Saints, in Notes Divine,
Do sing redeeming Love.
13 Worthy, oh Lord, worthy art thou;
To wear the glorious Crown;
So all the Saints in glory bow,
And cast their Di'dems down.
14 The Song eternally goes round,
To him that made the Sky,
I'm lost, I'm lost, to view the Bound
Of vast Eternity.
15 When there have past more Million Years
Than Sands upon the Shore;
The Saints above will have not Fears
That the blest Space is o'er,
16 If all the Drops of Oceans wide
Were to be number'd o'er,
And then by Millions multiply'd,
And twice as many more;
17 And then as many Years should pass
As Water Drops in all;
Or Grains of Sand, or Spires of Grass,
Upon this earthly Ball.
18 Then add as many millions more
As Stars that fill the Sky;
Then all that Number doubled o'er
Can't mete Eternity.
19 Eternity will still remain;
'Twill be Eternity.
The Song to God the THREE IN ONE
Will last eternally.
20 Who can describe the Blessedness
Of Pleasure ever new?
I long the Glory to possess,
And bid all Sin adieu.
21 Farewell my Friends, I long to go;
Adieu Death, Sorrow, pain,
Adieu to Fears, Adieu to woe;
And Welcome endless Gain.
22 Oh, how my Soul doth long to quit
This Earth, and Soar away!
Oh Jesus, if it is most fit,
Let not thy Chariot stay.
23 Come take my longing Spirit up,
To dwell with Thee above;
I long with Thee, my Lord to sup,
On everlasting Love.
24 The Time seems long till Thou dost bring
My Soul unto that Place,
Where I thy Praise shall ever sing,
And rest in thine Embrace.
