The death of the Sinner and the Saint
Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXXIII (1790) Topics: Funeral Occasions First Line: What scenes of horror and of death Lyrics: 1 What scenes of horror and of death
Await the sinner's dying bed!
Death's terrors all appear in sight,
Presages of eternal night.
2 His sins in dreadful order rise,
And fill his soul with sad surprise;
Mount Sinai's thunder stuns his ears
And not one ray of hope appears.
3 Tormenting pangs distract the breast,
Where'er he turns, he finds no rest;
Death strikes the blow, he groans and cries
And, in despair and horror, dies.
4 Not so the heir of heavenly bliss;
His soul is fill'd with conscious peace;
A steady faith subdues his fear;
He sees the happy Canaan near.
5 His mind is tranquil and serene,
No terrors in his looks are seen;
His Saviour's smile dispels the gloom,
And smooths his passage to the tomb.
6 Lord, make my faith and love serene,
My judgment sound, my conscience clean
And when the toils of life are past,
May I be found in peace at last. Languages: English
The death of the Sinner and the Saint
When blooming youth is snatch'd away
Author: Steel Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXX (1790) Topics: Funeral Occasions Lyrics: 1 When blooming youth is snatch'd away,
By death's resistless hand
Our hearts the mournful tribute pay,
Which pity must demand.
2 While pity prompts the rising sigh,
O may this truth, impress,
With awful power, I too must die,
Sink deep in every breast.
3 Let this vain world engage no more;
Behold the gaping tomb!
It bids us seize the present hour,
To morrow death may come.
4 The voice of this alarming scene,
May every heart obey;
Nor be the heav'nly warning vain,
Which calls to watch and pray.
5 O let us fly, to Jesus fly,
Whose powerful arm can save;
Then shall our hopes ascend on high,
And triumph o'er the grave.
6 Great GOD thy sovereign grace impart,
With cleansing, healing power;
This only can prepare the heart,
For death's surprising hour. Languages: English
When blooming youth is snatch'd away
Why do we mourn departed friends
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXXX (1790) Topics: Funeral Occasions Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departed friends
Or shake at death’s alarm?
’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends
To call them to his arms.
2 Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb?
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,
And left a long perfume:
3 The graves of all the saints he bless'd,
And soft'ned ev'ry bed;
Where should the living members rest
But with the dying head.
4 Thence he arose, and burst the chain,
To shew our feet the way.
From shades where death and darkness reign
To realms of endless day.
5 Then let the last loud trumpet sound,
And bid our kindred rise:
Awake, ye nations under ground;
Ye saints, ascend the skies.
Languages: English
Why do we mourn departed friends
Why should our mourning thoughts delight
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXXXI (1790) Topics: Funeral Occasions Lyrics: 1 Why should our mourning thoughts delight,
To grovel in the dust?
Or why should streams of tears unite,
Around th' expiring just?
2 Did not the Lord our Saviour die,
And triumph o'er the grave?
Did not our Lord ascend on high,
And prove his power to save?
3 Doth not the sacred Spirit come,
And dwell in all the saints?
And should the temples of his grace,
Resound with long complaints?
4 Awake, my soul, and like the sun,
Burst thro' each sable cloud;
And thou, my voice, tho' broke with sighs,
Tune forth thy songs aloud.
5 The spirit rais'd my Saviour up,
When he had bled for me;
And spite his death and hell shall raise
Thy pious friends and thee. Languages: English
Why should our mourning thoughts delight
Why should we start or fear to die
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXXVI (1790) Topics: Funeral Occasions Lyrics: 1 Why should we start or fear to die,
What tim’rous worms we mortals are,
Death is the gate to endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.
2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife,
Fright our approaching souls away;
And we shrink back again to life,
Fond of our prison and our clay.
3 O! if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul would stretch her wings in haste
Fly fearless thro' death’s iron gate,
Nor feel the terrors as she pass'd.
4 JESUS can make a dying bed,
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on His breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there. Languages: English
Why should we start or fear to die
Death's a Warning
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCXXII (1790) Topics: Funeral Occasions First Line: Vain man thy fond pursuits forbear Lyrics: 1 Vain man thy fond pursuits forbear,
Repent, thine end is nigh,
Death at the farthest can't be far;
Oh think before thou die!
2 Reflect thou hast a soul to save;
Thy sins how high they mount!
What are thy hopes beyond thy grave?
How stands that dark account!
3 Death enters and there's no defense,
His time there's none can tell,
He'll in a moment calls thee hence,
To Heaven or down to hell.
4 Thy flesh perhaps thy chiefest care,
Shall crawling worms consume,
But ah! destruction ends not there;
Sin kills beyond the tomb!
5 To day, the gospel calls, to day'
Sinners, it speaks to you;
Let every one forsake his way,
And mercy will ensue.
6 Rich mercy, dearly bought with blood,
How vile soe'er he be,
Abundant pardon, peace with GOD;
All giv'n entirely free. Languages: English
