Death is no more among our foes
Vital spark of heavenly flame
Author: Pope Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #881 (1873) Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Vital spark of heavenly flame,
Quit, oh, quit this mortal frame!
Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying!
Oh, the pain, the bliss of dying!
Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife,
Let me languish into life!
2 Hark! they whisper--angels say,
Sister spirit, come away!
What is this absorbs me quite,
Steals my senses, shuts my sight,
Drowns my spirits, draws my breath?
Tell me, soul, can this be death?
3 The world recedes; it disappears;
Heaven opens on my eyes; my ears
With sounds seraphic ring:
Lend, lend your wings! I mount! I fly!
O grave, where is thy victory?
O death, where is thy sting? Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
Vital spark of heavenly flame
When the vale of death appears
Hymnal: Church Pastorals, hymns and tunes for public and social worship #899 (1864) Topics: Life and Death Languages: English
When the vale of death appears
When mortal man resigns his breath
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #673 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and Death in the Hands of God Lyrics: 1 When mortal man resigns his breath,
'Tis God directs the shafts of death,
Casual howe'er the stroke appear,
He sends the fatal messenger:
2 The keys are in that hand divine;
That hand must first the warrant sign,
And arm the death, and wing the dart,
Which speeds his message to our heart.
3 Who first inspir'd the breath of lives,
The living kills, the dead revives,
Brings to the margin of the grave,
And shows us thence his power to save:
4 From hence if thou my body raise,
I'll publish my Restorer's praise,
My life at thy dear hands receive,
And only for thy glory live. Scripture: Job 14:5-6
When mortal man resigns his breath
Friend after friend departs
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #889 (1873) Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Friend after friend departs:
Who has not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end.
Were this frail world our only rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
2 Beyond the flight of time,
Beyond this vale of death,
There surely is some blessed clime
Where life is not a breath,
Nor life's affections transient fire
Whose sparks fly upward to expire.
3 There is a world above
Where parting is unknown;
A whole eternity of love
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere.
4 Thus star by star declines
Till all are passed away,
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day.
Nor sink those stars in empty night;
They hide themselves in heaven's own light.
Friend after friend departs
I cannot bear thy Absence, Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.CXVII (1766) Topics: Presence in Life and Death Lyrics: 1 I cannot bear thy Absence, Lord,
My Life expires if Thou depart;
Be thou, my Heart, still near my God,
And Thou, my God, be near my Heart.
3 I was not born for Earth and Sin,
Nor can I live on Things so vile;
Yet I would stay my Father's Time,
And hope and wait for Heav'n a while.
3 Then, dearest Lord, in thine Embrace
Let me resign my fleeting Breath;
And, with a Smile upon my Face,
Pass the important Hour of Death. Languages: English
I cannot bear thy Absence, Lord
One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phebe Cary Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #877 (1873) Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er:
I'm nearer home to-day
Than I have been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne;
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the cross,
Nearer to gain the crown.
4 But lying dark between,
And winding through the night,
The deep and unknown stream!
Crossed ere we reach the light.
5 Jesus, confirm my trust;
Strengthen the hand of faith,
To feel thee when I stand
Upon the shore of death.
6 Be near me when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink,
For I am nearer home,
Perhaps, than now I think. Scripture: Romans 13:11-12
One sweetly solemn thought
