Find the ease for which I pant, Gain the only good I want; Quietly lay down my head, Sink into my earthy bed. There my flesh shall rest in hope, Till the quickened dust mount up, When to glorious life I'll rise, To meet my husband in the skies. PART II. Happy they who trust in Jesus, Jesus turns our loss to gain; Still his balmy mercies ease us, Sweeten all our grief and pain. When he calls our friends t' inherit All the glories of the blest, He assures the widowed spirit, "Thou shalt quickly be at rest." Though my flesh and spirit languish, Let me not too much complain; Sure at last t' outlive my anguish, Sure to find my friend again. Ransomed from a world of sorrow, He to-day is taken home; I shall be released to-morrow-- Come, my dear Redeemer, come. From my sanctified distresses, Now, or when thou wilt, receive; Grant with him in thine embraces, After all my deaths, to live. PART III. Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord, Mysterious Three in One! For ever be thy name adored, Thy will for ever done. For this alone on earth I wait, To glorify my God; And suffer, since thou will'st, the state Of sacred widowhood. And may I, in thy strength, fulfil My awful character; And prove thine acceptable will, And do thy pleasure here; The children to thyself restore, Whom thou to me hast given; And rule my house with all my power, And train them up for heaven. Be this my hospitable care: The stranger to receive, The burden of thy church to bear, And all their wants relieve; My labor of unwearied love With pleasure to repeat, My faith unto thy saints to prove, And gladly wash their feet. The servant of thy servants bless With active earnest zeal; And every work of righteousness I shall with joy fulfil. LINES,
