If I in thy likeness, O Lord, may awake
Author: Anon. Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If I thy likeness, O Lord, may awake,
And shine, a pure image of thee,
Then I shall be satisfied, when I can break
The fetters of death, and be free.
2 I know this stained tablet must first be washed white,
To let thy bright features be drawn;
I know I must suffer the darkness of night,
To welcome the coming of dawn.
3 O, I shall be satisfied when I can cast
The shadow of nature all by,
When this dreary world from my vision is passed,
To live in an unclouded day.
4 I feel the blest morning begins to draw near,
When time's dreary fancy shall fade;
O, then in thy likeness may I but appear,
In glory and beauty arrayed!
5 When on thine own image in me thou hast smiled,
Within thy blest mansion, and when
The arms of my Father encircle his child,
Or I shall be satisfied then! Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: HOPE
If I in thy likeness, O Lord, may awake
Dark is the hour when death prevails
Author: U. Smith Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dark is the hour when death prevails,
And triumphs o'er the just,
A painful void within the breast,
When dust goes back to dust;
And solemn in is the pall, the bier,
That bears them from our presence here.
2 But there's a bright, a glorious hope,
That scatters death's dark gloom;
It cheers the saddened spirits up,
It gilds the Christian's tomb;
It brings the resurrection near,
When those we love shall re-appear.
3 Then mourn we not as those whose hopes
With fleeting life depart;
For we have heard a voice from heaven
To every stricken heart:
"Blest are the dead, forever blest,
Who from henceforth in Jesus rest."
4 With kind regard the Lord beholds
His saints when called to die,
And precious in his holy sight
Their sacred dust shall lie
Till all these storms of life are o'er,
And they shall rise to die no more.
5 A few more days, and we shall meet
The loved whose toil is o'er,
And plant with joy our bounding feet
On Canaan's radiant shore,
Where, free from all earth's cares and fears,
We'll part no more through endless years. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: HOPE
