Who knows how near my life's expanded?
Author: Emelie Juliane of Schwarzburg -Rudolstadt; Henry Mills Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #430 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my life's expended?
Time flies, and death is hasting on:
How soon, my term of trial ended,
May heave my lat expiring groan!
For Jesus' sake, when flesh shall fail,
O God, with we may all be well!
2 My many sins! O veil them over
With merits of Thy dying Son!
I here Thy richest grace discover,
Here find I peace, and here alone;
And for His sake, when flesh shall fail,
O God, with me may it be well!
3 His bleeding wounds give me assurance
That Thy free mercy will abide;
Here strength I find for death's endurance,
And hope for all I need beside:
For Jesus' sake, when flesh shall fail,
O God, with me may it be well!
4 Naught shall my soul from Jesus sever,
Nor life, nor death; things high nor low:
I take Him as my Lord forever,
My future trust, as He is now;
And for His sake, when flesh shall fail,
O God, with me may it be well. Languages: English Tune Title: RUDOLSTADT (Wer weiss wie nahe mir mein Ende)

Now Thy little lamb’s last weeping;
Ah! how peaceful, pale and mild
In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping!
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
2 In this world of care and pain,
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny heavenly plain
Dost Thou now in joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light. Languages: English Tune Title: SAXONY (Meinen Jesum lass ich nicht)
Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast still'd
Mourn not ye whose child hath found
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #448 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Mourn not ye whose child hath found
Purer skies and holier ground;
Flow'rs of bright and pleasant hue,
Free from thorns and fresh with dew.
2 Mourn not ye whose child hath fled
From this region of the dead,
To yon winged angel-band,
To a better, fairer land.
3 Knowledge in that clime doth grow
Free from weeds of toil and wo,
Joys which mortals may not share;
Mourn ye not, your child is there. Languages: English Tune Title: MOZART
Mourn not ye whose child hath found

Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end,
In joy and peace and thee?
2 When shall these eyes thy heav'n-built walls
And pearly gates behold?
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3 There happier bow'rs than Eden’s bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes,
I onward press to you.
4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay?
I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
Around my Savior stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below,
Will join the glorious band.
6 Jerusalem! my happy home!
My soul still pants for Thee;
Then shall my labors have an end,
When I thy joys shall see. Languages: English Tune Title: AVON (Martyrdom)

I know full well death must befall me
Author: Solomon Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #431 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 I know full well death must befall me;
I know not when, or where, or how:
It may be that my God will call me
To-day, to-morrow, even now;
Ere yet this present hour is fled,
This living body may be dead.
2 I know, --God hath this knowledge given--
To me death is not death, indeed;
To me death is a gate to heaven,
A bound and end of all my need,
A gentle evening, peaceful, blest,
When I have passed from toil to rest.
3 Lord, let my soul, with unfeigned gladness,
In living faith Thy call await
To leave its cave of sin and sadness,
And this vain world for heaven's estate;
O keep my heart prepared alway,
To lay aside this mortal clay.
4 Lord, grant that, by contrition riven,
My heart I daily offer Thee,
And let me close this life for heaven,
Sealed by Thy death and agony:
O let Thy death, with passion rife,
My comfort be, my balm and life.
5 Lord, daily let me die then, ever;
And at the last stand Thou by me,
That death may not from Thee sever,
But bring me nearer unto Thee!
Then welcome my last hour shall be,
When, where, and how it pleaseth Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: RUDOLSTADT (Wer weiss wie nahe mir mein Ende)
I know full well death must befall me
For me to live is Jesus
Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #433 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus,
For me to die is gain;
To Christ I gladly yield me,
And pass where He has lain.
2 I hence go with rejoicing
To Christ, my Brother's side,
That I may soon be with Him,
And e'er with Him abide.
3 I have o'ercome life's crosses,
Endured the chastening rod;
And through His five wounds holy
I am at peace with God.
4 When all my powers are breaking,
My breath comes heavily,
And not a word can utter,
O hear my sighs to Thee!
5 When mind and though with faintness
But waver yet about,
E'en as a light that flickers
Just as the flame goes out;
6 Then let me softly, gently,
Lord, fall asleep in Thee,
When by Thy will and counsel
My last hour comes to me;
7 And let me cleave unto Thee
With ivy's searching hold,
And ever live, Lord, with Thee
In bliss of heaven untold.
8 Amen! this will Thou, Savior,
Grant graciously to me;
Endow me with Thy Spirit
That blest I pass to Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: HEIDELBERG (Ach bleib mit deiner Gnade)
For me to live is Jesus
O world, I must now leave thee
Author: Johann Hesse; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #436 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 O world, I now must leave thee,
But little doth it grieve me,
I seek my native land;
True life I there inherit,
And here I yield my spirit
With joy to God's all-gracious hand.
2 So on His Word relying,
I know, while I am dying
I seen shall see His face,
Through Christ whose death hath bought me;
The Father's love He brought me,
And now prepares for me a place.
3 The grave hath lost its terrors,
Since for my sins and errors,
My Savior did atone:
My works can nought avail me,
But His work cannot fail me,
I rest in faith on Him alone.
4 And so I hence am going
In peace, full surely knowing
That now I shall have rest:
I feel death's icy finger;
My soul here cannot linger,
Nor would I stay--to go is best.
5 O world, I yet would teach thee
That death will surely reach thee;
Thou too must follow me;
Then ere God's grace forsake thee,
Repent! to Christ betake thee,
That God have mercy too on thee. Languages: English Tune Title: INNSPRUCK (Nun ruhen alle Wälder)
O world, I must now leave thee
My God, to Thee I now commend
Author: Philip Friedrich Hiller; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #438a (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 My God, to Thee I now commend
My soul, for Thou, O Lord,
Dost live and love me without end,
And wilt perform Thy Word.
2 To whom else should I make my plea,
That heavenly life be mine?
All souls, my God, belong to Thee,
My soul is also Thine.
3 Thou gav'st my spirit at my birth,
Take back what Thou hast given;
And with the Lord I served on earth,
Grant me to live in heaven.
4 Faith spreads her wings, she sees revealed
The shining wall above;
My spirit knows that it is sealed,
Redeemed from death by love.
5 Thou my Redeemer wast of yore,
From sin Thou mad'st me free;
Now, faithful God, dost Thou once more
In death deliver me.
6 Thou liv'st and lovest without end,
And dost perform Thy Word;
My passing soul I now commend
To Thee, my God and Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: HANOVER
My God, to Thee I now commend
O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee
Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #439 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 0 Lord, my God, I cry to Thee,
In my distress Thou helpest me;
To Thee myself I all commend,
O swiftly now Thine angel send,
To guide me home and cheer my heart,
Since Thou dost call me to depart.
2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
Once slain to take away our load,
Now let Thy cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me,
Thy death to open heav'n, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.
3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end,
Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend;
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into life. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee
