If Christ had not been raised from death
Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #204 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Death and Bereavement Lyrics: 1 If Christ had not been raised from death
our faith would be in vain,
our preaching but a waste of breath,
our sin and guilt remain.
But now the Lord is risen indeed;
he rules in earth and heaven:
his gospel meets a world of need —
in Christ we are forgiven.
2 If Christ still lay within the tomb
then death would be the end,
and we should face our final doom
with neither guide nor friend.
But now the Saviour is raised up,
so when a Christian dies
we mourn, yet look to God in hope —
in Christ the saints arise!
3 If Christ had not been truly raised
his Church would live a lie;
his name should nevermore be praised,
his words deserve to die.
But now our great Redeemer lives;
through him we are restored:
his word endures, his Church revives
in Christ, our risen Lord. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:12-20 Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #804 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Bereavement Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
where saints immortal reign;
infinite day excludes the night,
and pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
and never-withering flowers;
death, like a narrow sea, divides
that heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
stand dressed in living green;
so to the Jews old Canaan stood,
while Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
to cross the narrow sea,
and linger shivering on the brink,
and fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
those gloomy doubts that rise,
and see the Canaan that we love
with unbeclouded eyes;
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
and view the landscape o'er,
not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
should fright us from the shore! Scripture: Deuteronomy 34:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: BEULAH
There is a land of pure delight

who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
yet day by day the light in due gradation
from hour to hour through all its changes guide;
2 Grant to life's day a calm unclouded ending,
an eve untouched by shadows of decay,
the brightness of a holy death-bed blending
with dawning glories of the eternal day.
3 Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
through Jesus Christ thy co-eternal Word,
who with the Holy Ghost by all things living
now and to endless ages art adored. Scripture: Isaiah 12:2 Languages: English Tune Title: STRENGTH AND STAY

Jesu, grant me this, I pray
Author: Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #126 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Death and Bereavement Lyrics: 1 Jesu, grant me this, I pray,
ever in thy heart to stay;
let me evermore abide
hidden in thy wounded side.
2 If the world or Satan lay
tempting snares about my way,
I am safe when I abide
in thy heart and wounded side.
3 If the flesh, more dangerous still,
tempt my soul to deeds of ill,
naught I fear when I abide
in thy heart and wounded side.
4 Death will come one day to me;
Jesu, cast me not from thee:
dying let me still abide
in thy heart and wounded side. Scripture: John 19:34 Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 13
Jesu, grant me this, I pray

dark across the sky,
then, the veil uplifting,
Father, still be nigh.
