Let others boast how strong they be
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #540 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 Let others boast how strong they be,
Nor death nor danger fear;
While we'll confess, O Lord, to Thee,
What feeble things we are.
2 Fresh as the grass our bodies stand,
And flourish bright and gay;
A blasting wind sweeps o'er the land,
And fades the grass away.
3 Our life contains a thousand springs,
And dies if one be wrong;
Strange, that a harp of thousand strings
Should keep in tune so long.
4 But 'tis our God supports our frame,
The God that formed us first,
Salvation to the almighty Name
That reared us from the dust!
5 While we have breath, or life, or tongues,
Our Maker we'll adore.
His Spirit moves our heaving lungs,
Or they would breathe no more. Languages: English Tune Title: MANCHESTER
Let others boast how strong they be
I know my end must surely come
Author: Solomon Frank; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #545 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 I know my end must surely come,
But know not when, or where, or how;
It may be I shall hear my doom
To-night, to-morrow, nay, or now;
Ere yet this present hour is fled,
This living body may be dead.
2 Lord Jesus, let me daily die,
And at the last Thy presence give;
Then Death his utmost power may try,
He can but make me truly live.
Then welcome my last hour shall be,
When, where, and how it pleases Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER IN HIMMELREICH
I know my end must surely come
The precious seed of weeping
Author: Miss Winkworth; Charles John Spitta Hymnal: Church Book #554 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 The precious seed of weeping
To-day we sow once more,
The form of one now sleeping,
Whose pilgrimage is o'er.
Ah, death but safely lands him
Where we too would attain;
Our Father's voice demands him,
And death to him is gain.
2 He has what we are wanting,
He sees what we believe;
The sins on earth so haunting
Have there no power to grieve;
Safe in His Saviour's keeping
Who sent him calm release;
'Tis only we are weeping,
He dwells in perfect peace.
3 The crown of life he weareth.
He bears the shining palm,
The "Holy, holy," shareth,
And joins the angels' psalm;
But we poor pilgrims wander
Still through this land of woe,
Till we shall meet him yonder,
And all his joy shall know. Languages: English Tune Title: O HAUPT VOLL BLUT Y. WUNDEN
The precious seed of weeping
My life's a shade, my days
Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Church Book #562 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Resurrection Lyrics: 1 My life's a shade, my days
Apace to death decline:
My Lord is Life; He'll raise
My dust again, even mine.
Sweet truth to me!
I shall arise
And with these eyes
My Saviour see.
2 My peaceful grave shall keep
My form till that sweet day;
I shall awake from sleep
And leave my bed of clay.
Sweet truth to me!
I shall arise,
And with these eyes
My Saviour see.
3 Then welcome, harmless grave!
By thee to heaven I'll go:
My Saviour's Death shall save
Me from the flames below.
Sweet truth to me!
I shall arise,
And with these eyes
My Saviour see. Languages: English Tune Title: CROSSMAN

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams; Peter Williams Hymnal: Voices Together #606 (2020) Topics: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy pow’rful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed till I want no more,
feed till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing waters flow.
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliv’rer, strong Deliv’rer,
be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death and hell’s destruction,
land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee. Scripture: Exodus 13:17-22 Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
O Lord, I love Thee from my heart
Author: M. Schelling Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #54 (1911) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1 O LORD, I love Thee from my heart;
I pray Thee, ne'er from me depart,
With tender mercy cheer me;
I scorn the richest earthly lot,
E'en heaven and earth attract me not,
If only Thou be near me.
Yea, though my heart be like to break,
Thou shalt my Trust that naught can shake,
My Portion and my Comfort be.
Who by Thy blood has purchased me,
Lord Jesus Christ!
My God and Lord! my God and Lord!
Forsake me not who trust Thy Word.
2 Yea, Lord, 'twas Thy free bounty gave
By body, soul, and what I have
In this poor life of labor;
O grant that I may through Thy grace
Use all my powers to show Thy praise,
And serve and help my neighbor.
From all false doctrine keep me, Lord,
From Satan's lies and malice ward,
In every cross uphold Thou me,
That I may bear it patiently,
Lord Jesus Christ!
My God and Lord! my God and Lord!
In death Thy comfort still afford.
3 Ah! Lord, let Thy dear angels come
At my last end to bear me home,
That I may die unfearing;
And in its narrow chamber keep
My body safe in painless sleep
Until Thy reappearing;
And then from death awaken me,
That these mine eyes with joy may see,
O Son of God, Thy glorious face,
My Saviour and my Fount of grace!
Lord Jesus Christ!
My prayer attend, my prayer attend,
And I will praise Thee without end. Languages: English
O Lord, I love Thee from my heart
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams; Peter Williams Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #127 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more;
feed me till I want no more.
2. Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield;
be thou still my strength and shield.
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death and hell's destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee;
I will ever give to thee.

Stoop down, my thoughts, that us'd to rise
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #247 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1 Stoop down, my thoughts, that us'd to rise,
Converse a while with death;
Think how a gasping mortal lies,
And pants away his breath.
2 His quivering 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 wondrous 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.
Stoop down, my thoughts, that us'd to rise
Abide with Me
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Voices Together #502 (2020) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Death and Eternal Life First Line: Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide.
The darkness deepens; God, 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 I need thy presence ev’ry passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 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.
5 Hold then thy cross before my closing eyes.
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee.
In life and death, O God, abide with me. Scripture: Psalm 27:7-9 Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with Me
Blessing, honor, thanks, and praise
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #558 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 Blessing, honor, thanks, and praise,
Pay we, gracious God, to Thee:
Thou, in Thine abundant grace,
Givest us the victory!
2 True and faithful to Thy word,
Thou hast glorified Thy Son;
Jesus Christ, our dying Lord,
He for us the fight hath won.
3 Lo, the prisoner is released,
Lightened of his fleshly load:
Where the weary are at rest,
He is gathered into God!
4 Lo, the pain of life is past,
All his warfare now is o'er;
Death and hell behind are cast,
Grief and suffering are no more.
5 Yes, the Christian's course is run,
Ended is the glorious strife;
Fought the fight, the work is done,
Death is swallowed up of Life!
