59. Truly, Still in God Is Hidden

1. Truly still in God is hidden
The Christian’s life, but soon shall redden
The morn that heraldeth His Day:
When its dawn on earth ascendeth,
When all reproach and weeping endeth
In joy and happiness for aye,
It will be known and seen
What here our life has been.
Hallelujah!
Come soon, O Lord;
Fulfill Thy Word,
And crown us all with faith’s reward.

2. Here we walk in weakness ever,
Yet He exalts into His favor,
If He but see a faithful heart.
All His foes shall fear and tremble,
When we, His loyal friends, assemble,
Whom nothing from His love can part.
Thine own, O Lord, are we,
Both near and dear to Thee,
Jesus Savior!
Thou didst ordain,
That we obtain
Thy joy through grief, reproach, and pain.

3. Thou before us art ascended
And we, unto Thy grace commended,
Will follow firmly bound to Thee,
By Thy mighty power surrounded,
And all our enemies confounded,
We then Thy Kingdom’s heirs shall be.
My brethren, shall not there
Our Lord be wondrous fair?
Amen! Amen!
When death doth call,
God takes us all
To live with Him in heav’n’s bright hall!
