Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb!

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #872 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: At the Grave Lyrics: 1 Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb! Take this new treasure to thy trust; And give these sacred relics room To seek a slumber in the dust. 2 Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear Invade thy bounds; no mortal woes Can reach the peaceful sleeper here, While angels watch the soft repose. 3 So Jesus slept; God's dying Son Passed through the grave, and blessed the bed; Rest here, blessed saint! til from his throne The morning break, and pierce the shade. 4 Break from his throne, illustrious morn! Attend, O earth! his sovereign word; Restore thy trust; a glorious form Shall then ascend and meet the Lord. Scripture: Matthew 27:59-60

Man dieth and wasteth away

Author: Morris Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #883 (1873) Topics: The Grave Disarmed of its Terrors 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

Shall man, O God of light and life

Author: Dewitt Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #925 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Day Dawns on the Night of the Grave Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, For ever molder in the grave? Canst thou forget thy glorious work, Thy promise and thy power to save? 2 In those dark, silent realms of night Shall peace and hope no more arise? No future morning light the tomb, Nor day-star gild the darksome skies? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears: When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprang, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heaven with praise and wonder rang. 4 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold, to make his children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 5 The trump shall sound, the dead shall wake; From the cold tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heaven, with joy, their myriads rise, And hail their Saviour and their King.

Death and Eternity

Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DL (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Grave First Line: My thoughts, that often mount the skies Lyrics: 1 My thoughts, that often mount the skies, Go, search the world beneath, Where nature all in ruin lies, And owns her sovereign, death. 2 The tyrant how he triumphs here*, His trophies spread around! And heaps of dust and bones appear Thro' all the hollow ground. 3 Those skulls, what ghastly figures now! How loathsome to the eyes! These are the heads we lately knew So beauteous and so wise. 4 But where the souls those deathless things, That left their dying clay? My thoughts, now stretch out all your wings, And trace eternity! 5 O that unfathomable sea! Those deeps without a shore! Where living waters gently play, Or fiery billows roar. 6 There we shall swim in heavenly bliss, Or sink in flaming waves, While the pale carcase breathless lies Among the silent graves. 7 "Prepare us, Lord, for thy right hand, "Then come the joyful day, "Come, death, and some celestial band, "To bear our souls away."
