9:* D. C. 1168. 7s & 8s. 2. Pour not thou the bitter tear; But as one who always hopeth; 3. They who die in Christ are blest; Ours then be no thought of grieving; All their toils and troubles leaving; 1169. 7s & Ss.* DOANE. 1. JESUS lives! thy terrors now Better life will then commenceThis shall be my confidence. 2. Jesus lives! to Him the throne Over all the world is given: I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven; God is pledged, weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence. 3. Jesus lives! I know full well, Nought from Him my heart can sever; 4. Jesus lives! henceforth is death Entrance into life immortal; Calmly I can yield my breath; Fearless tread the frowning portal; Thou, when faileth flesh and sense, Lord, wilt be my confidence!
