Village Hymns for Social Worship

Farewell, my distress and my wo

The storms of existence are o'er; Tho' fiercely the tempest may blow,

Its fury appals me no more. 2 More quickly and shorter I breathe

The dew is o'erspreading my cheekI feel the approaches of death,

My heartstrings beginning to break;
A struggle or two and 'tis done

From earth and its anguish I fly;
The palm of the conqueror won,

I live by submitting to die.

HYMN 598. 8,7. C. WESLEY.
Sicilian. Northampton-Chapel.

The departing saint.
* ,

All thy mourning days below; Go, by angel-guards attended,

To the sight of Jesus, go! 2 Waiting to receive thy spirit,

Lo! the Saviour stands above, Shows the glory of his merit,

Reaches out the crown of love. 3 Struggle thro' thy latest passion

To thy dear Redeemer's breast,
To his uttermost salvation,

To his everlasting rest.
4 For the joy he sets before thee,

Bear a momentary pain;
Die, to live the life of glory-
Suffer, with thy Lord to reign.

HYMN 599. 8s. M. DE FLEURY.

Uxbridge. Dismission.

Panting for Heaven. 1 YE angels, who stand round the throne,

And view my Immanuel's face,
In rapturous songs make him known;

Tune, tune your soft harps to his praise: He form'd you the spirits you are,

So happy, so noble, so good;
When others sunk down in despair,

Confirm'd by his power, ye stood.
2 Ye saints, who stand nearer than they,

And cast your bright crowns at his feet, His grace and his glory display,

And all his rich mercy repeat:
He snatch'd you from hell and the grave--

,He ransom'd from death and despair
For you he was mighty to save,

Almighty to bring you safe there. 3 Oh, when will the period appear,

When I shall unite in your song?
I'm weary of lingering here,

And I to your Saviour belong!
I'm fetter'd and chain'd up in clay;

I struggle and pant to be free;
I long to be soaring away,

My God and my Saviour to see! 4 I want to put on my attire,

Wash'd white in the blood of the Lamb I want to be one of your choir,

And tune my sweet harp to his name; I wont-Oh, I want to be there,

Where sorrow and sin bid adieuYour joy and your friendship to shareTo wonder, and worship with you!

TIGH in yonder realms of light,

Dwell the raptur'd saints above,
Far beyond our feeble sight,

Happy in Immanuel's love!
Pilgrims in this vale of tears,

Once they knew, like us below,
Gloomy doubts, distressing fears,

Tort'ring pain and heavy wo.
2 Oft the big, unbidden tear,

Stealing down the furrow'd cheek,
Told, in eloquence sincere,

Tales of wo they could not speak.
But, these days of weeping o'er,

Past this scene of toil and pain,
They shall feel distress no more,

Never-never weep again!
3 'Mid the chorus of the skies,

'Mid th' angelic lyres above,
Hark--their songs melodious rise,

Songs of praise to Jesus' love!
Happy Spirits! ye are fled,

Where no grief can entrance find,
Lull'd to rest the aching head,

Sooth'd the anguish of the mind!
4 All is tranquil and serene,

Calm and undisturb'd repose-
There no cloud can intervene-

There no angry tempest blows!
Ev'ry tear is wip'd away,

Sighs no more shall heave the breast;
Night is lost in endless day-
Sorrow-in eternal rest!

And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honor, praise, and glory giv'n,
By all on earth, and all in heav'n.

Let God the Father, and the Son,

And Spirit be ador'd,
Where there are works to make him known,
Or saints to love the Lord.

Ye angels, round the throne,

And saints that dwell below,
Worship the Father, praise the Son,
And bless the Spirit too.

Perpetual honors raise,

Thy name we sing,
While faith adores.

Praise eternal as his love:

May the grace of Christ our Saviour,

And the Father's boundless love, With the Holy Spirit's favor,

Rest upon us from above! Thus may we abide in union

With each other and the Lord ! And possess, in sweet communion, Joys which earth cannot afford.
