Oh, what is life?--'tis like a flower

Author: J. Taylor Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #869 (1873) Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Oh, what is life?--'tis like a flower That blossoms and is gone; It flourishes its little hour, With all its beauty on: Death comes, and, like a wintry day, It cuts the lovely flower away. 2 Oh, what is life?--'tis like the bow That glistens in the sky: We love to see its colors glow; But, while we look, they die: Life fails as soon,--to-day 'tis here; To-morrow it may disappear. 3 Lord, what is life?--if spent with thee, In humble praise and prayer, How long or short our life may be, We feel no anxious care: Though life depart, our joys shall last When life and all its joys are past.

Nothing into this world we brought

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #218 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and death and judgment Lyrics: Nothing into this world we brought, And nothing can we take away; Oft be the themes of earnest thought, Man's birth, man's death, man's judgment-day. 218 For each belongs to each of us; Time past, time present, time to be, To young and old, determine thus The issues of eternity, All are born poor, howe'er unlike, Their lot through life; and all go down Poor to the dust:--the darts that strike The slave, strike him who wears a crown, That name which each on earth has borne, Renown'd, inglorious, or obscure, E'en from his gravestone shall be worn; Nought under heaven can endure. In the Lamb's book of life alone, The everlasting page records, In open view before the throne, The names of those who are the Lord's. When on the volume of that book While small and great are gathered round, The Judge of quick and dead shall look, Be all our names unblotted found. Languages: English

O where shall rest be found

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #214 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: O where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole; The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live; Nor all of death to die. 214 Beyond this vale of tears, There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love;-- There is a death, whose pang Ontlasts the fleeting breath; O what eternal horrors hang Around "the second death!" Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun, Lest we be banish'd from Thy face, And evermore undone: Here would we end our quest; Alone are found in Thee, The life of perfect love,--the rest Of immortality.

Thy life I read, my gracious Lord

Author: Stennett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #868 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Thy life I read, my gracious Lord, With transport all divine; Thine image trace in every word, Thy love in every line. 2 Methinks I see a thousand charms Spread o'er thy lovely face, While infants in thy tender arms Receive the smiling grace. 3 I take these little lambs, said he, And lay them in my breast; Protection they shall find in me, In me be ever blest. 4 Death may the bands of life unloose, But can't dissolve my love; Millions of infant souls compose The family above. 5 His words the happy parents hear, And shout, with joys divine, O Saviour, all we have and are Shall be for ever thine.

Why should we start, and fear to die?

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #897 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Why should we start, and fear to die? What timorous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate of endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there. 2 The pains, the groans, and dying strife Fright our approaching souls away; Still, we shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay. 3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet, My soul should stretch her wings in haste, Fly fearless through death's iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she passed. 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.

Thy everlasting truth

Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXLI (1789) Topics: Life, Death, and a future State God our Guardian in Life and Death Lyrics: 1 Thy everlasting truth, Father, thy ceaseless love, Sees all thy chldren's wants, and knows What best for each will prove. 2 And whatso'er thou will'st Thou do'st, O King of Kings! What thine unerring wisdom chose, Thy power to being brings. 3 Thou every where hast way, And all things serve thy might; Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light. 4 When thou arisest, Lord, What shall thy work withstand? When all thy children want thou giv'st, Who, who shall stay thy hand? 5 Thou seest our weakness, Lord; Our hearts are known to thee; O lift thou up the sinking hand, confirm the feeble knee. 6 Let us, in life, in death, Thy stedfast truth declare, And publish, with our latest breath, Thy love and guardian care.
