HYMN 126.

What sinners value I resign;
Lord, 'tis enough that Thou art mine;
I shall behold Thy glorious face,
And stand complete in righteousness.

This life's a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world to which we go
Hath joys substantial and sincere;
When shall I wake and find me there?

O glorious hour; O blest abode!
I shall be near and with my God;
And flesh and sin no more control
The joys eternal of the soul.

My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound;
Then burst its chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour's image rise.
