EN 553 When God Is Nigh
Ps.16.8
Versi Version 1
1
When God is nigh, my faith is strong;
His arm is my almighty prop:
Be glad, my heart; rejoice, my tongue;
My dying flesh shall rest in hope.
2
Though in the dust I lay my head,
Yet, gracious God, Thou wilt not leave
My soul for ever with the dead,
Nor lose Thy children in the grave.
3
My flesh shall thy first call obey,
Shake off the dust, and rise on high;
Then shalt Thou lead the wondrous way
Up to Thy throne above the sky.
4
There streams of endless pleasures flow;
And full discoveries of Thy grace,
Which we but tasted here below,
Spread heav’nly joys through all the place.
