Hymn
Our Consolation Aboundeth
When languor and disease invade
This trembling house of clay,
'Tis sweet to look beyond my pain,
And long to fly away;
Sweet on his faithfulness to rest,
Whose love can never end;
Sweet on his covenant of grace
For all things to depend;
Sweet, in the confidence of faith,
To trust his firm decrees;
Sweet to lie passive in his hands,
And know no will but his.
