Brief life is here our portion
Author: Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #612 (1913) Topics: Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life is there.
O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals, and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!
2 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown;
And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Zion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope;
3 But He whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known;
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own.
The morning shall awaken,
And shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
4 There grief is turned to pleasure,
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know.
There God, our king and portion,
In fullness of His grace,
Shall we behold for ever,
And worship face to face.
5 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.

In the Bulb There Is a Flower
Author: Natalie Sleeth Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #678 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian Life Death and Eternal Life; Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Scripture: Genesis 8:22 Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE

The hour I first believed!

As long as life endures.

'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
