Give rest, O Christ

Author: William John Birkbeck (1869-1916) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #351 (2013) Topics: Funerals and The Departed 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.

They whose course on earth is o'er

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #462 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Funerals and The Departed Lyrics: 1 THEY whose course on earth is o’er, Think they of their brethren more? They before the throne who bow, Feel they for their brethren now? 2 We by enemies distrest, They in paradise at rest; We the captives, they the freed; We and they are one indeed: 3 One in all we seek or shun, One, because our Lord is one; One in home and one in love; We below, and they above. 4 They whom space on earth divides, Mountains, rivers, ocean-tides; Have they with each other part? Have they fellowship in heart? 5 Each to each may be unknown, Wide apart their lots be thrown; Yet in sacrament and prayer Each with other hath a share. 6 Saints departed, even thus Hold communion still with us; Still with us, beyond the veil, Praising, pleading without fail. 7 So with them our hearts we raise, Share their work and join their praise, Rendering worship, thanks and love To the Trinity above.

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #772 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Funerals and The Departed Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy riven side which flowed, be of sin the double cure: cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labours of my hands can fulfil thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears for ever flow, all for sin could not atone: thou must save, and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Saviour, or I die. 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyelids close in death, when I soar through tracts unknown, see thee on thy judgement throne; Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.
