HYMN XIII.
[Thrice happy estate of the dead]
Thrice happy estate of the dead,
Who die on Immanuel's breast!
From trouble and misery freed,
From pain they eternally rest;
Pursued by their labours of love,
By mercy assign'd their reward,
They mount to the mansions above,
And heaven enjoy in their Lord.
Who die on Immanuel's breast!
From trouble and misery freed,
From pain they eternally rest;
365
By mercy assign'd their reward,
They mount to the mansions above,
And heaven enjoy in their Lord.
O how shall a sinner like me
That blissful enjoyment obtain?
To Jesus's bowels I flee,
Oppress'd with affliction and pain.
My burden of guilt I confess,
Just ready from earth to depart:
O Saviour, in pity release,
And pardon inscribe on my heart.
That blissful enjoyment obtain?
To Jesus's bowels I flee,
Oppress'd with affliction and pain.
My burden of guilt I confess,
Just ready from earth to depart:
O Saviour, in pity release,
And pardon inscribe on my heart.
That rest from oppression bestow,
That faith in a crucified God,
And, freely forgiven, I know
The mercy procured by Thy blood;
Thy easy command I receive,
Affix'd to the infamous tree,
And daily expiring I live,
I suffer and triumph with Thee.
That faith in a crucified God,
And, freely forgiven, I know
The mercy procured by Thy blood;
Thy easy command I receive,
Affix'd to the infamous tree,
And daily expiring I live,
I suffer and triumph with Thee.
Then lowly I enter the rest
For lowly believers design'd,
The people in Jesus possess'd
Of pardon and purity join'd:
Then, faithful and just to Thy word,
Permit me in peace to remove,
Dissolved by a sight of my Lord,
And bless'd with a heaven of love.
For lowly believers design'd,
The people in Jesus possess'd
Of pardon and purity join'd:
Then, faithful and just to Thy word,
Permit me in peace to remove,
Dissolved by a sight of my Lord,
And bless'd with a heaven of love.
