Death & Dying
On the Death of Thomas Beard, Hymn 17
From Hymns and Sacred Poems (1749) · Osborn ed., vol. 5 (1869)
Death & Dying
What is the reason of my hope,
My hope to live and sin no more?
After His likeness to wake up,
And God in spirit and truth adore,
To serve Him as the hosts above
In perfect peace, and perfect love?
