Portion of saints and sinners;
or, Hope and despair in death. 1 Arise, my gracious God, And make the wicked flee; They are but thy chastising rod To drive thy saints to thee. 2 Behold the sinner dies, His haughty words are vain; Here in this life his pleasure lies, And all beyond is pain. 3 Then let his pride advance, And boast of all his store: The Lord is my inheritance, My soul can wish no more. 4 I shall behold the face Of my forgiving God, And stand complete in righteousness, Wash'd in my Saviour's blood. 5 There's a new heaven begun, When I awake from death, Drest in the likeness of thy Son, And draw immortal breath. Psalm 17:2. L. M. |
