Stoop down, my Tho'ts, that use to rise
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XXVIII (1766) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1 Stoop down, my Tho'ts, that use to rise,
Converse awhile with Death;
Think how a gasping Mortal lies,
And pants away his Breath.
2 His quiv'ring Lip hangs feebly down,
His Pulses faint and few,
Then, speechless, with a doleful Groan,
He bids the World adieu.
3 But, O the Soul that never dies!
At once it leaves the Clay!
Ye Thoughts, pursue it where it flies,
And track its wond'rous Way.
4 Up to the Courts where Angels dwell,
It mounts triumphing there;
Or Devils plunge it down to Hell,
In infinite Despair.
5 And must my Body faint and die?
And must this Soul remove?
O! for some Guardian Angel nigh,
To bear it safe above!
6 Jesus, to thy dear faithful Hand
My naked Soul I trust,
And my Flesh waits for thy Command,
To drop into my Dust. Languages: English
Stoop down, my Tho'ts, that use to rise
For me to live is Jesus
Author: Anna, Countess of Stolberg Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #30 (1886) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus,
to die is gain for me;
to Him I gladly yield me,
and die right cheerfully.
2 From hence I go with gladness
To Christ, my Brother's side,
That I may soon be with Him,
And e'er with Him abide.
3 I have o'ercome life's crosses,
Grief, pain, and sorrow cease,
Through His five wounds most holy
With God I am at peace.
4 When all my powers are breaking,
My breath comes heavily,
Nor word more I can utter,
Lord, hear my sighs to Thee!
5 When reason, sense, and thinking
Fail, like a flickering light,
That to and fro doth waver,
Ere 'tis extinguished quite:
6 Then let me softly, gently,
Lord, fall asleep in Thee,
When by Thy will and counsel
My last hour comes to me.
7 As to the oak the ivy,
So let me cleave to Thee,
And live in heavenly glory
With Thee eternally.
8 Amen! this wilt Thou, Jesus,
Grant graciously to me.
Endow me with Thy Spirit,
That I fare happily. Languages: English Tune Title: [For me to live is Jesus]
For me to live is Jesus
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Author: J. Meyfart; C. Winkworth Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #33 (1911) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1 JERUSALEM, thou city fair and high,
Would God I were in thee!
My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly,
It will not stay with me;
Far over vale and mountain,
Far over field and plain,
It hastes to seek its Fountain
And quit this world of pain.
2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour,
When wilt thou come at last?
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render,
For surely will His hand
Lead her, with guidance tender,
To heaven, her fatherland.
3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously,
Released from earthly ties,
Elijah's chariot bears her up to thee,
Through all these lower skies,
To yonder shining regions,
Where down to meet her come
The blessed angel legions,
And bid her welcome home.
4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold
The gates of grace to me!
How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness,
Yon world of shadowy naught,
And God had given the gladness,
The heritage I sought.
5 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host,
Comes sweeping swiftly down?
The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most,
The Church's brightest crown,
Our Lord hath sent to meet me,
As in the far-off years
Their words oft came to greet me
In yonder land of tears.
6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train,
With all Christ's followers true,
Who bore the cross, and could the worst disdain
That tyrants dared to do,
I see them shine forever,
All glorious as the sun
'Mid light that fadeth never,
Their perfect freedom won.
7 And when within that lovely paradise
And last I safely dwell,
From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise,
What joy my lips shall tell,
While holy saints are singing
Hosannas o'er and o'er,
Pure Hallelujah's ringing
Around me evermore!
8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne
Their joyful anthems raise,
Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with tone
Of that great hymn of praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song. Languages: English
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Wake, awake, for night is flying
Author: Ph. Nicolai Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #63 (1911) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1. WAKE, awake, for night is flying,
The watchmen on the heights are crying:
Awake, Jerusalem, arise!
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
And at the thrilling cry rejoices;
O where are ye, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lamps with gladness take!
Hallelujah!
With bridal care
Yourselves prepare
To meet the Bridegroom, who is near!
2. Zion hears the watchmen singing,
And all her heart with joy is springing,
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious,
Her Star is ris'n, her Light is come!
Now come Thou Blessed One,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son,
Hail! Hosanna!
The joyful call
We answer all,
And follow to the nuptial hall.
3. Glory unto Thee be given,
By men and by the host of heaven,
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone;
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne.
Nor eye hath seen, nor ear
Hath yet attained to hear
Such great glory;
Therefore will we
Eternally
Sing hymns of joy and praise to Thee. Languages: English
Wake, awake, for night is flying
