Forever with the Lord!

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #113 (1898) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Sickness, Death, and Burial Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be! Life from the dead is in that word, And immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times, to faith's foreseeing eye, The golden gates appear. 4 Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 Then, then I feel that He, Remembered or forgot, The Lord, is never far from me, Though I perceive Him not. 6 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain.

My life is hid in Jesus

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #117 (1898) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: Sickness, Death, and Burial Lyrics: 1 My life is hid in Jesus, And death is gain to me; Then, whensoe'er He pleases, I meet it willingly. 2 For Christ, my Lord and Brother, I leave this world so dim, And gladly seek that other, Where I shall be with Him. 3 My woes are nearly over, Though long and dark the road; My sin His merits cover, And I have peace with God. 4 Lord, when my powers are failing, My breath comes heavily, And words are unavailing, O hear my sighs to Thee! 5 When mind, and thought, O Saviour, Are flickering, like a light That to and fro doth waver, Ere 'tis extinguished quite; 6 In that last hour, O grant me To slumber soft and still, No doubts to vex or haunt me, Safe anchored on Thy will; 7 And so to Thee still cleaving Through all death's agony, To fall asleep believing, And wake in heaven with Thee. 8 Amen! Thou Christ, my Saviour, Wilt grant this unto me: Thy Spirit lead me ever, That I fare happily. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDE WITH US, OUR SAVIOUR

Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #149 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Sickness, Death, and Burial Lyrics: 1 Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O’er the spoils that death has won, We would at this solemn meeting Calmly say, Thy will be done. 2 Though cast down, we’re not forsaken, Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give, and Thou hast taken: Blessed Lord, Thy will be done. 3 Though to-day we’re filled with mourning, Mercy still is on the throne; With Thy smiles and love returning, We can sing, Thy will be done. 4 By Thy hands the boon was given, Thou hast taken but Thine own: Lord of earth, and God of heaven, Evermore, Thy will be done.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #155 (1898) Topics: Sickness, Death, and Burial Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings, Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 4 Thou on my head in every youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee; On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 5 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 6 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 7 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Tho' death o'ertakes me, Christ ne'er forsakes me, To everlasting life He surely wakes me. 3 More radiant there than sun e'er shone in brightness, My soul shall shine before God's throne in whiteness. My God, who knows me, In glory clothes me, As He declared when for His own He chose me. 4 O may I come where strife and grief are ended, Where all Thy saints shall meet, with peace attended! Lord, grant Thy favor And mercy ever, And turn my sorrow into joy forever. 5 Lord Jesus Christ, keep me prepared and waking, Till from the vale of tears Thy bride Thou'rt taking To dwell in heaven, Where joy is given, And clouds of darkness are forever riven.

There Is A Land Of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #298 (1930) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Life Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides And never-with'ring flow'rs; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger shiv'ring, on the brink And fear to launch away. A-men. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And view the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes: 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Could fright us from the shore.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #375 (1893) Topics: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds, There pardon for my sins abounds; Yea, Jesus' blood and righteousness My jewels are, my glorious dress.

Now hush your cries and shed no tear

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #379 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 NOW hush your cries and shed no tear, On such death none should look with fear; He died a faithful Christian man, And with his death true life began. 2 Coffin and grave we deck with care, His body reverently we bear, It is not dead, but rests in God, And softly sleeps beneath the sod. 3 It seems as all were over now,-- The heavy limbs, the souless brow,-- Yet through these rigid limbs once more A nobler life, ere long, shall pour. 4 These bones now dead, again shall feel New warmth and vigor through them steal, And reunited they shall soar On high to live for evermore. 5 This body, lying stiff and stark, Shall soon rise upward from the dark, And swiftly mount up through the skies, Even as the spirit heavenwards flies, 6 The buried grain of wheat must die, Withered and worthless long must lie, Yet springs to light all sweet and fair, And proper fruits shall richly bear. 7 Even so this body, made of dust, To earth we once again entrust, Where it shall slumber free from pain, Till from the dead it rise again. 8 God breathed into this house of clay The spirit that hath passed away; The righteous mind, the noble heart, The living faith did Christ impart. 9 Now earth has hid it from our eyes, Till God shall bid it wake and rise, Who ne'er the creature will forget, On whom His image He hath set. 10 Ah! would that promised day were here, When Christ shall once again appear, And bring them to their heavenly home Who have been buried in the tomb.
