Hymn 1:47 [Must Friends And Kindred Drop And Die?]

Title:     Hymn 1:47 [Must Friends And Kindred Drop And Die?]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Death of kindred improved.

Must friends and kindred drop and die?
And helpers be withdrawn?
While sorrow with a weeping eye
Counts up our comforts gone?

Be thou our comfort, mighty God!
Our helper and our friend:
Nor leave us in this dangerous road,
Till all our trials end.

O may our feet pursue the way
Our pious fathers led!
With love and holy zeal obey
The counsels of the dead.

Let us be wean'd from all below,
Let hope our grief expel,
While death invites our souls to go
Where our best kindred dwell.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 1:47 [Must Friends And Kindred Drop And Die?]
