5 Jesus, Thou Prince of Life,

Thy chosen cannot die :

Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,

To reign with Thee on high.

Rev. H. A. César Malan, 1832. Tr. Rev. George W. Bethune, 1847

Are enough for life's woes, full e -nough for its cheer.

AMEN.

2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin;
Temptation without, and corruption within :
E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears,
And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears.
I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb:
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom;
There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise
To hail Him in triumph descending the skies.

4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God,
Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode,

Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains,
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns;

5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their Saviour and brethren, transported, to greet;
While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll,
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul?

A-long the star-ry road. A-MEN.

2 No, no, it is not dying

Heaven's citizen to be; A crown immortal wearing, And rest unbroken sharing,

From care and conflict free.

3 No, no, it is not dying
To hear this gracious word,
"Receive a Father's blessing,
For evermore possessing

The favor of Thy Lord."

4 No, no, it is not dying

The Shepherd's voice to know:
His sheep He ever leadeth,
His peaceful flock He feedeth
Where living pastures grow.
5 No, no, it is not dying

To wear a lordly crown ;
Among God's people dwelling,
The glorious triumph swelling
Of Him whose sway we own.
