p.274 bottom

Tune: Roll Jordan - Charles Wesley, 1758 alt.

Text: AW and John G McCurry, 1855. (incomplete here)

He comes! He comes! the Judge severe!
Roll, Jordan, roll;
The seventh trumpet speaks Him near;
Roll, Jordan, roll;

I want to go to heav'n, I do, Hallelujah, Lord,
We'll praise the Lord in heav'n above
Roll, Jordan, roll.

His lightnings flash, His thunders roll;
Roll, Jordan, roll;
How welcome to the faithful soul!
Roll, Jordan, roll;

I want to go to heav'n, I do, Hallelujah, Lord,
We'll praise the Lord in heav'n above
Roll, Jordan, roll.

29b Death, 'tis a melancholy day

p.29 bottom

Tune: Tribulation

Text: Isaac Watts 1709

1 Death, ’tis a melancholy day
To those who have no God,
When the poor soul is forced away,
To seek her last abode.

2 In vain to heav’n she lifts her eyes,
For guilt, a heavy chain,
Still drags her downward from the skies
To darkness, fire, and pain.
