HYMN 46. The happy Death of the Godly: Sung at the Funeral of Mr. JOHN TREDWEL.
1
Return to God, your resting place,ye sinners with all speed;
By Christ, to God you must approach,
for all things you do need.
2
Lord there's no rest for to be foundbut in thy self alone;
High Praises therefore forth shall sound
to Thee the holy One!
3
We sing below, but they above,in Crowns excelling Gold,
Triumph in their eternal bliss,
amazing to behold:
4
And each of them in Majestydo represent a King;
Yea, Angels like in dignity;
and with the Cherubs sing.
5
Immortal Robes they all have on,and shine like to the Sun;
Let us prepare to follow them;
our Glass will soon be run,
52
6
Death is a sleep, it is a restfrom all our sorrows here;
Let's so believe that we with Christ
in glory may appear.
