Hope in the Resurrection

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #390 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Consummation of Things Resurrection First Line: Thro' sorrow's night and danger's path Lyrics: 1 Thro' sorrow's night and danger's path, Amid the deepening gloom, We soldiers of an injur'd King Are marching to the tomb. 2 There, when the turmoil is no more, And all our powers decay, Our cold remains in solitude Shall sleep the years away. 3 Our labors done, securely laid In this our last retreat, Unheeded o'er our silent dust The storms of life shall beat. 4 Yet not thus lifeless, thus inane, The vital spark shall lie, For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise To seek its kindred sky. 5 These ashes too, this little dust, Our Father's care shall keep, Till the last angel rise, and break The long and dreary sleep. 6 Then life's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays, And the long silent dust shall burst With shouts of endless praise.

"ye dead arise;" And lo! the graves obey; And waking saints with joyful eyes Salute th'expected day. 4 They leave the dust, and on the wing Rise to the mid-way air; In shining garments meet their King, And bow before him there. 5 O may our humble spirits stand Among them cloth'd in white! The meanest place at his right hand Is infinite delight. Languages: English

Correct my passions, mend my heart, And all my fears control. 6 And may I taste thy richer grace In that decisive hour, When Christ to judgment shall descend, And time shall be no more.
