Happy the Men Who Jesus Knows

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. Happy the men who Jesus knows, Who humbly walk with God below, His secret voice attend. From all tumultuous passion free, Their Guide invisible they see, And commune with their Friend. 2. O that I thus on Christ reclined, His quiet, meek, and even mind Might with Himself possess: I want the faith which works by hope, Which calmly to its Lord looks up, And waits for perfect peace. 3. Jesus, on me the power bestow To work, or rest, stand still, or go, As Thy design I feel: Redeemed from nature's hurrying strife, I would not take one step in life Without a beck from Thee. 4. No longer rash to act, or speak, To think or judge, I only seek To know Thine utmost will. I set my God a time no more, The Kingdom when Thou wilt restore, And all Thy love reveal.

And Am I Only Born to Die?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. And am I only born to die? And must I suddenly comply With nature’s stern decree? What after death for me remains? Celestial joys, or hellish pains, To all eternity? 2. How then ought I on earth to live, While God prolongs the kind reprieve And props the house of clay? My sole concern, my single care, To watch, and tremble, and prepare Against the fatal day. 3. No room for mirth or trifling here, For worldly hope, or worldly fear, If life so soon is gone: If now the Judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand before The inexorable throne! 4. No matter which my thoughts employ, A moment’s misery, or joy; But O! when both shall end, Where shall I find my destined place? Shall I my everlasting days With fiends, or angels spend? 5. Nothing is worth a thought beneath But how I may escape the death That never, never dies; How make mine own election sure, And, when I fail on earth, secure A mansion in the skies. 6. Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way To glorious happiness; Ah, write the pardon on my heart, And whensoe’er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace.
