God Is for Us

Author: Joseph Gelineau Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #640 (1995) Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life First Line: Strong is God's love for us Lyrics: [Response:] Strong is God's love for us, Alleluia. R We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to God's purpose. What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? God, who did not withhold God's own Son, but gave him up for all of us-- will God not also give us all things with him? Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will hardship, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Who knows how near my end may be?

Author: Emilie Juliana v. Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt; C. Winkworth Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #115 (1911) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1. WHO knows how near my end may be? Time speeds away, and death comes on; How swiftly, ah! how suddenly, May death be here, and life be gone! My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 2. The world that smiled when morn was come May change for me ere close of eve; So long as earth is still my home In peril of my death I live. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 3. Teach me to ponder oft my end, And ere the hour of death appears, To cast my soul on Christ, her Friend, Nor spare repentant cries and tears. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 4. And let me now so order all, That ever ready I may be To say with joy, Whate’er befall, Lord, do Thou as Thou wilt with me. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 5. Let heav'n to me be ever sweet, And this world bitter let me find, That I, 'mid all its toil and heat, May keep eternity in mind. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 6. Then death may come, or tarry yet, I know in Christ I perish not, He never will His own forget, He gives me robes without a spot. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 7. And thus I live in God at peace, And die without a thought of fear, Content to take what God decrees, For through His Son my faith is clear, His grace shall be in death my stay, And peace shall bless my dying day.

Jesus Christ, my sure Defense

Author: Louise Henreitte v. Brandenbrugh; C. Winkworth Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #113 (1911) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1. JESUS Christ, my sure Defence And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2. Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I, too, unto life must waken; Endless joy my Saviour gives; Shall my courage, then, be shaken? Shall I fear? or could the Head Rise, and leave His members dead? 3. Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope forever; Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4. I am only flesh and blood, And on this corruption senzeth; But I know my Lord and God From the grave my body raiseth, That with Him eternally In His glory I may be. 5. Glorified I shall again With this skin then be enshrouded, In this body I shall then See my God with eyes unclouded, In this flesh I then shall see Jesus Christ eternally. Languages: English

When my last hour is close at hand

Author: Edgar Alfred Bowring; Nikolaus Hermann Hymnal: Church Book #547 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, My last sad journey taken, Do Thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand, Let me not be forsaken. O Lord, my spirit I resign Into Thy loving hands divine; 'Tis safe within Thy keeping. 2 Countless as sands upon the shore, My sins may then appall me; Yet, though my conscience vex me sore, Despair shall not enthrall me: For as I draw my latest breath, I'll think, Lord Christ! upon Thy Death, And there find consolation. 3 I shall not in the grave remain, Since Thou death's bonds hast severed; But hope with Thee to rise again, From fear of death delivered, For where Thou art, there I shall be. That I may ever live with Thee: This is my joy in dying. 4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go, My longing arms extending; So fall asleep in slumber deep, Slumber that knows no ending, Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Opens the gates of bliss, leads on To heaven, to life eternal.

Let Hope and Sorrow Now Unite

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #639 (1995) Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 Let hope and sorrow now unite to consecrate life's ending, and praise good friends now gone from sight, though grief and loss are rending. The story in a well-loved face the years and days our thoughts retrace, are treasures worth defending. 2 With faith, or doubt, or open mind we whisper life's great question. The ebb and flow of space and time surpass our small perception. Yet knowledge grows with joyful gains and finds out wonders far more strange than hopes of resurrection. 3 Be glad for life, in age or youth; its worth is past conceiving. And stand by justice, love, and truth as patterns for believing. Give thanks for all each person gives - as faith comes true, and Jesus lives, there'll be an end to grieving.
