"The End"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in long meter)

"The End"

1. Have I by grace set out for heav'n?
Has life divine to me been given?
Then Jesus, as my constant Friend,
Will guard and guide me to the end.

2. My toils and conflicts soon shall cease,
The end is everlasting peace;
Sorrows and sighs shall flee away,
The end is bliss - eternal day!

3. My path is rough - and foes assail,
But I shall over all prevail;
For Jesus, my almighty Friend,
Is with me always to the end.

4. The road is safe - the journey short,
And Jesus says, I shall be brought,
Through floods and flames, to heav'nly rest,
And in the end with Him be blest.

5. Grace, mercy, life, and righteousness,
I have in Him, and shall possess,
All that in cov'nant love is stor'd,
All that is promis'd in His word.

6. All that my highest hopes expect,
All that's prepar'd for God's elect,
And more than thought can comprehend,
Is waiting for me at THE END.
