When bending o'er the brink of life
What is life, 'tis but a vapor
Hymnal: Church Pastorals, hymns and tunes for public and social worship #943 (1864) Topics: Life and Death Languages: English
What is life, 'tis but a vapor
The morning flowers display their sweets
Author: S. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #870 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 The morning flowers display their sweets,
And gay their silken leaves unfold,
As careless of the noontide heats,
As fearless of the evening cold.
2 Nipped by the wind's untimely blast,
Parched by the sun's directer ray,
The momentary glories waste,
The short-lived beauties die away.
3 So blooms the human face divine,
When youth its pride of beauty shows;
Fairer than spring the colors shine,
And sweeter than the virgin rose.
4 Or worn by slowly-rolling years,
Or broke by sickness in a day
The fading glory disappears,
The short-lived beauties die away.
5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb,
With luster brighter far shall shine!
Revive with ever-during bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
6 Let sickness blast, let death devour,
If heaven must recompense our pains;
Perish the grass, and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remains. Scripture: Isaiah 40:8
The morning flowers display their sweets
Beneath our feet and o'er our head
Author: Heber Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #871 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Beneath our feet and o'er our head
Is equal warning given;
Beneath us lie the countless dead,
Above us is the heaven.
2 Death rides on every passing breeze,
And lurks in every flower;
Each season has its own disease,
Its peril every hour.
3 Turn, mortal, turn! thy danger know;
Where'er thy food can tread,
The earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee of her dead.
4 Turn, Christian, turn! thy soul apply
To truths divinely given;
The forms which underneath thee lie
Shall live, for hell or heaven. Scripture: Genesis 3:19
Beneath our feet and o'er our head
Weep not for the saint that ascends
Author: Bacon Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #882 (1873) Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Weep not for the saint that ascends
To partake of the joys of the sky;
Weep not for the seraph that bends
With the worshiping chorus on high;
Weep not for the spirit now crowned
With the garland to martyrdom given;
Oh, weep not for him: he has found
His reward and his refuge in heaven.
2 But weep for their sorrows who stand
And lament o'er the dead by his grave;
Who sigh when they muse on the land
Of their home far away o'er the wave;
And weep for the nations that dwell
Where the light of the truth never shone,
Where anthems of peace never swell,
And the love of the Lord is unknown.
Weep not for the saint that ascends
Man dieth and wasteth away
Author: Morris Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #883 (1873) Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Man dieth and wasteth away,
And where is he?--hark! from the skies
I hear a voice answer and say,
The spirit of man never dies!
His body, which came from the earth,
Must mingle again with the sod;
His soul, which in heaven had birth,
Returns to the bosom of God.
2 No terror has death, or the grave,
To those who believe in the Lord--
Who know the Redeemer can save,
And lean on the faith of his word:
While ashes to ashes, and dust
We give unto dust, in our gloom
The light of salvation we trust,
Which hangs like a lamp in the tomb.
3 O Lord God Almighty, to thee
We turn as our solace above;
The waters may fail from the sea,
But never thy fountains of love:
Oh, teach us thy will to obey,
And sing with one heart and accord,--
He gave, and he taketh away,
And praised be the name of the Lord. Scripture: Job 1:21
Man dieth and wasteth away
Far from affliction, toil, and care
Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #890 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Far from affliction, toil, and care,
The happy soul is fled;
The breathless clay shall slumber here,
Among the silent dead.
2 The Gospel was his joy and song,
E'en to his latest breath;
The truth he had proclaimed so long
Was his support in death.
3 Now he resides where Jesus is,
Above this dusky sphere;
His soul was ripened for that bliss
While ye he sojourned here.
4 The church's loss we all deplore,
And shed the falling tear;
Since we shall see his face no more,
Till Jesus shall appear.
5 But we are hasting to the tomb;
Oh, may we ready stand;
Then, blessed Lord, receive us home,
To dwell at thy right hand.
Scripture: Romans 13:14
Far from affliction, toil, and care
Farewell, dear friend! a long farewell!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #894 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Farewell, dear friend! a long farewell!
For we shall meet no more
Till we are raised with thee to dwell
On Zion's happy shore.
2 Our friend and brother, lo! is dead!
The cold and lifeless clay
Has made in dust its silent bed,
And there it must decay.
3 Farewell, dear friend, again farewell,--
Soon we shall rise to thee;
And when we meet, no tongue can tell
How great our joys shall be.
4 No more we'll mourn thee, parted friend,
But lift our ardent prayer,
And every thought and effort bend
To rise and join thee there.
Farewell, dear friend! a long farewell!
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
Author: Mrs. Mackay Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #895 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep--
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! oh, how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet!
With holy confidence to sing,
That death has lost its venomed sting.
3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest:
No fear, no woe, shall dim the hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
4 Asleep in Jesus! oh, for me
May such a blissful refuge be:
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.
5 Asleep in Jesus! time nor space
Affects this precious hiding-place:
On Indian plains or Lapland snows
Believers find the same repose.
6 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be:
But thine is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep. Scripture: Acts 7:60
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
