HYMNS,  

TO BE SUNG AT THE  

CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP, SYDNEY,  

On the melancholy Comme moral ion of the much-lamented Death of  

Her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte.  

.?rilllicaiitt'  

S,INCE our good Friend is gone to rest,  

Within the silent Grave  

We hope HER Souls? among the blest,  

Let fruitless sorrows wave.  

Our loss is now Her greatest gain.  

Let no rude hand annoy  

Her dust now sleeps (exempt from pain)  

In hopes of future joy.  

We at the great and joyful day.  

Shall all together meet;  

And there our awful homage pay,  

At our kind Master?s feet.  

Then the great Judge from His high Throne,  

Bright crowns of Gold shall give  

To such as have his precepts known,  

And study?d well to live,  

Oh, let us then our hearts prepare.  

For that uncertain hour;  

Lest Death should end our pain and care.  

In sin, by Satin?s povy?r.  

Lord, give us grace our Time to spend.  

In Virtue?s prudent Way;  

That when our latter days do end.  

No guilt may us dismay.  

THS  

VING CHR IS TIA  

TO Hl3  

L.  

Vital spark of heav?nly flame!  

Quit, quit this mortal frame  

Trembling, hoping, ling?ring, flying,  

the pain, the bliss of dying!  

Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife,  

And let me languish into life.  

Hark! they whisper; angels say.  

Sister spirit, come away  

What is this absorbs me quite?  

Steals my senses, shuts my sight.  

Drowns my spirit, draws rny breath  

V-  

Tell me, my soul, can this be death  

.. � rf �  

The world recedes; it disappears  

Heav?n opens to my e\ es! my ears  

With sounds seraphic ring  

Lend, lend your wings! mount, fly  

grave where is thy victory  

death where is thy sting
