O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #161 (2005) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Bereavement Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of thy throne
thy saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all our years away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANNE

Give rest, O Christ
Author: William John Birkbeck (1869-1916) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #351 (2013) Topics: Death and Bereavement Lyrics: Give rest, O Christ,
to thy servant with thy saints,
where sorrow and pain are no more;
neither sighing, but life everlasting.
Thou only art immortal,
the Creator and Maker of man;
and we are mortal, formed of the earth,
and unto earth shall we return;
for so thou didst ordain
when thou createdst me, saying:
'Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.'
All we go down to the dust,
and, weeping o'er the grave we make our song:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Give rest, O Christ,
to thy servant with thy saints,
where sorrow and pain are no more;
neither sighing, but life everlasting. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:7 Languages: English Tune Title: KONTAKION OF THE DEAD
Give rest, O Christ
Lord, if faith is disenchanted
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #528 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Death and Bereavement Lyrics: 1 Lord, if faith is disenchanted,
if our pain persists too long,
show us that your love is planted
deeper far than all time's wrong.
2 If we feel ourselves forsaken,
overwhelmed by sin and grief,
prove your love, though faith is shaken,
deeper than our unbelief.
3 Where injustice and oppression
make the poor and weak despair,
prove your love's profound compassion,
deeper than their deepest prayer.
4 When the children, Lord, are dying,
anguished parents asking, 'Why?',
prove your love, in grief and crying,
deeper than grief's deepest cry.
5 Let the cross, your love's perfection,
present with us all along,
prove itself, in resurrection,
deeper far than all time's wrong. Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-4 Languages: English Tune Title: OTTERY ST MARY
Lord, if faith is disenchanted
Eternal God, before whose face we stand
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #577 (2013) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Topics: Death and Bereavement Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, before whose face we stand,
your earthly children, fashioned by your hand,
hear and behold us, for to you alone
all hearts are open, all our longings known:
so for our world and for ourselves we pray
the gift of peace, O Lord, in this our day.
2 We come with grief, with thankfulness and pride,
to hold in honour those who served and died;
we bring our hurt, our loneliness and loss,
to him who hung forsaken on the cross;
who, for our peace, our pains and sorrows bore,
and with the Father lives for evermore.
3 O Prince of Peace, who gave for us your life,
look down in pity on our sin and strife.
May this remembrance move our hearts to build
a peace enduring, and a hope fulfilled,
when every flag of tyranny is furled
and wars at last shall cease in all the world.
4 From earth's long tale of suffering here below
we pray the fragile flower of peace may grow,
till cloud and darkness vanish from our skies
to see the Sun of Righteousness arise.
When night is past and peace shall banish pain,
all shall be well, in God's eternal reign. Scripture: Micah 4:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: UNDE ET MEMORES
Eternal God, before whose face we stand
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side

bear patiently the cross of grief and pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake,
all now mysterious shall be clear at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
his voice, who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then you shall better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears.
Be still, my soul: for Jesus can repay
from his own fullness all he takes away.
4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be for ever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgotten, love's pure joy restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Scripture: Psalm 124 Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side
