HYMN 47.
Psal. 17. 15.—I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy Likeness. Sung at the Funeral of Mrs. SARAH WILMOT, July 14th, 1694.
1
Sing to the Lord, ye Saints of his,
and thankfully express
How sweet the due remembrance is
of His pure Holiness:
2
And tho' his Anger burns apace
it quickly slacks again;
But, Lord, thy Favour and thy Grace
for ever doth remain.
3
Tho' Sorrows lodge with us all Night,
which makes us Weep and Mourn,
Yet Joy comes in at Morning Light,
and makes a Sweet return.
4
By Death thy Saints enter to joys
prepar'd for them above;
And the're for ever shall remain
in endless Life and Love.
5
O there they see as they are seen,
with clear unclouded views!
O there they hear Lord! nothing else
but sweet and Glorious News!
6
Anthems of Joy, of Love, and Praise;
and Hallelujahs sing;
Who would be fond of this vain World,
from whence such Sorrows spring?
7
We shall be fully satisfied
when we awake and rise:
If we do Sleep in Jesus Christ
we then shall win the Prize.
