John 14

SONG 42

^{1-2-3-4-5-6-7}Let not your hearts with anxious thoughts

be troubled or dismay’d;

But trust in Providence divine,

and trust my gracious aid.

2 I to my Father’s house return;

there num’rous mansions stand,

And glory manifold abounds

through all the happy land.

3 I go your entrance to secure,

and your abode prepare;

Regions unknown are safe to you,

when I, your friend, am there.

4 Thence shall I come, when ages close,

to take you home with me;

There we shall meet to part no more,

and still together be.

5 I am the way, the truth, the life:

no son of human race,

But such as I conduct and guide,

shall see my Father’s face.

SONG 43

^25-26-27-28You now must hear my voice no more;

my Father calls me home;

But soon from heav’n the Holy Ghost,

your Comforter, shall come.

2 That heav’nly Teacher, sent from God,

shall your whole soul inspire;

Your minds shall fill with sacred truth,

your hearts with sacred fire.

3 Peace is the gift I leave with you;

my peace to you bequeath;

Peace that shall comfort you through life,

and cheer your souls in death.

4 I give not as the world bestows,

with promise false and vain;

Nor cares, nor fears, shall wound the heart

in which my words remain.
