Lord’s Day 18, 2008
I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. Psalms 122:1 (Geneva Bible)

HYMN 18. (C. M.)
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. Rev. xiv. 13.
by Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

HEAR what the voice from heav’n proclaims,
   For all the pious dead;
Sweet is the savor of their names,
   And soft their sleeping bed.

They die in Jesus, and are blest;
   How kind their slumbers are!
From suff’rings and from sins released,
   And freed from every snare.

Far from this world of toil and strife,
   They’re present with the Lord;
The labors of their mortal life
   End in a large reward.

—from The Psalms & Hymns of Isaac Watts. Hymns and Spiritual Songs. Book I: Collected from the Holy Scriptures

Psalme 46 Geneva Bible.
To him that excelleth upon Alamoth.
A song committed to the sonnes of Korah.
1 God is our hope and strength, and helpe in troubles, ready to be found.
2 Therefore will not we feare, though the earth be moued, and though the mountaines fall into the middes of the sea.
3 Though the waters thereof rage and be troubled, and the mountaines shake at the surges of the same. Selah,
4 Yet there is a Riuer, whose streames shall make glad the citie of God: euen the Sanctuarie of the Tabernacles of the most High.
5 God is in the middes of it: therefore shall it not be moued: God shall helpe it very earely.
6 When the nations raged, and the kingdomes were moued, God thundred, and the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, and behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh warres to cease vnto the endes of the world: he breaketh the bowe and cutteth the speare, and burneth the chariots with fire.
10 Be still and knowe that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I wil be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of hostes is with vs: the God of Iaakob is our refuge. Selah.
