Death & Dying
Psalm 116:8: Mv soul through my Redeemer's care
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Mv soul through my Redeemer's care
Saved from the second death I feel,
Mine eyes from tears of vain despair,
My feet from falling into hell:
Wherefore to Him my feet shall run.
Mine eyes on His perfections gaze,
My soul shall live for God alone.
And all within me shout His praise.
936. What reward shall Igive unto the Lord, & c.—cyL. II, 12. f
O WHAT shall I say?
What recompence pay,
To the Giver of all I possess?
I will gladly receive.
While He ofters to give
His unsearchable riches of grace.
I will call on His name.
And with singing proclaim
The perfection of Jesus's love;
I will drink the full cup,
Till He beckons me up,
To enjoy His salvation above.
