Hymn Context Compare
Lies with feet to­ward the morn;
They fade up­on the sight;
The in­car­nate Son of God.
Dear grave in the garden; hope smiled at its door
Come swift­ly press­ing on,
Be of good cheer, saith the Sav­ior,
This is the day that God has blest,
start
When Thou dost deign to use;
Where I shall His beau­ty be­hold.
Every knee to Him shall bow;
For one day He’ll bear you safe­ly
Where I shall His beau­ty be­hold.
Wood and field and gar­den
He will sus­tain me un­til the end;
A pass­ing cloud, a me­te­or beam;
The Son of the High­est, how low­ly His birth!
Where Je­sus sits ex­alt­ed,
He will sus­tain me un­til the end;
Adieu to all my doubts and fears,

bright­est

Day be born.
Be lost in end­less night.
Never can such glo­ry show;
Christ lives! and His life will His peo­ple re­store;
Just glist­en and are gone.
I will be near to sus­tain thee;
Type of that ev­er­last­ing rest
Of things be­yond our sight,
Our dear­est—all are thine;
His blood as a ran­som He gave,
Heav’n pro­claims Him King of kings.
Marvel not, oh! un­be­liev­er,
His blood as a ran­som He gave,
When the wheat is gold­en,
No long­er lone­ly! He is my friend.
And leave my heart un­sa­tis­fied.
He stoops to re­deem thee, He reigns up­on earth.
The el­ders fall be­fore Him,
No long­er lone­ly! He is my friend.
