3 And ere upon the old man’s dust
The grass is seen to wave,
We look through falling tears, to trust
Hope’s sunshine on the grave.
4 O, no, it is no flattering lure,
No fancy weak or fond,
When hope would bid us rest secure
In better life beyond.
5 Nor love, nor shame, nor grief, nor tears,
Her promise may gainsay;
The voice divine speaks through our years,
To cheer us on our way.

The Rock of Salvation.
If life’s pleasures charm you, give them not your heart,
Lest the gift ensnare you from your God to part;
His favor seek, his praises speak;
Fix here your hope’s foundation;
Serve him, and he will ever be
The Rock of your Salvation.
2 If distress befall you, painful though it be,
Let not grief appall you—to your Saviour flee;
He ever near, your prayer will hear,
And calm your perturbation;
The waves of woe shall ne’er o’erflow
The Rock of your Salvation.
3 When earth’s prospects fail you, let it not distress,
Better comforts wait you—Christ will surely bless;
To Jesus flee—your prop he’ll be,
Your heavenly consolation;
For griefs below can not o’erthrow
The Rock of your Salvation.
4 Dangers may approach you; let them not alarm;
Christ will ever watch you, and protect from harm,
He near you stands, with mighty hands
To ward off each temptation;
To Jesus fly; he’s ever nigh,
The Rock of your Salvation.
5 Let not death alarm you, shrink not from his blow;
For your God shall arm you, and victory bestow,
For death shall bring to you no sting,
The grave no desolation:
’Tis sweet to die with Jesus nigh,
The Rock of your Salvation.

Jesus is mine.
Now I have found a friend,
Jesus is mine;
His love shall never end,
Jesus is mine.
Though earthly joys decrease;
Though human friendships cease,
Now I have lasting peace;
Jesus is mine.
2 Though I grow poor and old,
Jesus is mine;
He will my faith uphold,
Jesus is mine;
He shall my wants supply,
His precious blood is nigh,
Nought can my hope destroy,
Jesus is mine!
3 When earth shall pass away,
Jesus is mine.
In the great Judgment day,
Jesus is mine.
O! what a glorious thing
Then to behold my King,
On tuneful harp to sing,
Jesus is mine.
4 Farewell mortality!
Jesus is mine.
Welcome eternity!
Jesus is mine,
He my Redemption is,
Wisdom and Righteousness,
Life, Light and Holiness,
Jesus is mine.
