I Cannot Think of Them as Dead
Author: Frederick L. Hosmer Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #645 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 I cannot think of them as dead,
who walk with me no more;
along the path of life I tread
they are but gone before,
they are but gone before.
2 And still their silent ministry
within my heart hath place,
as when on earth they walked with me,
and met me face to face,
and met me face to face.
3 Their lives are made forever mine;
what they to have been
has left henceforth its seal and sign
engraven deep within,
engraven deep within.
4 Mine are they by an ownership
nor time nor death can free;
for God hath given to love to keep
its own eternally,
its own eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: DISTANT BELOVED

what wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of life
to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
to lay aside his crown for my soul.
3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb, I will sing;
to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM,
while millions join the theme I will sing, I will sing;

4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on;
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,

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 every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
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 dark sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O God, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.

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.

in our time, infinity;

in our death, a resurrection;

when we and those we love must part;
we yield them up, for go they must,
but do not lose them from our heart.
2 In ripened age, their harvest reaped,
or gone from us in youth or prime,
in Christ they have eternal life,
released from all the bonds of time.
3 In Christ, who tasted death for us,
we rise above our natural grief,
and witness to a stricken world
the strength and splendor of belief. Languages: English Tune Title: MARYTON

God Is for Us
Author: Joseph Gelineau Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #640 (1995) Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life First Line: Strong is God's love for us Lyrics: [Response:]
Strong is God's love for us, Alleluia.
R
We know that all things work together for good
for those who love God,
who are called according to God's purpose.
What then are we to say about these things?
If God is for us, who is against us?
God, who did not withhold God's own Son,
but gave him up for all of us--
will God not also give us all things with him?
Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will hardship, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor rulers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
in Christ Jesus our Lord. R Scripture: Romans 8:28-39 Languages: English Tune Title: [GOD IS FOR US]

Let Hope and Sorrow Now Unite
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #639 (1995) Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 Let hope and sorrow now unite
to consecrate life's ending,
and praise good friends now gone from sight,
though grief and loss are rending.
The story in a well-loved face
the years and days our thoughts retrace,
are treasures worth defending.
2 With faith, or doubt, or open mind
we whisper life's great question.
The ebb and flow of space and time
surpass our small perception.
Yet knowledge grows with joyful gains
and finds out wonders far more strange
than hopes of resurrection.
3 Be glad for life, in age or youth;
its worth is past conceiving.
And stand by justice, love, and truth
as patterns for believing.
Give thanks for all each person gives -
as faith comes true, and Jesus lives,
there'll be an end to grieving. Languages: English Tune Title: MIT FREUDEN ZART

Sing with All the Saints in Glory
Author: William J. Irons Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #702 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1. Sing with all the saints in glory,
sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth's dark story,
to the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking,
soon the storms of time shall cease;
in God's likeness we, awaking,
know the everlasting peace.
2. O what glory, far exceeding
all that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts, for ages pleading,
never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
there on high our welcome waits.
Every humble spirit shares it;
Christ has passed th'eternal gates.
3. Life eternal! heaven rejoices:
Jesus lives, who once was dead.
Join we now the deathless voices;
child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from the distant ages,
saints all longing for their heaven,
prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
all await the glory given.
4. Life eternal! O what wonders
crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
when, amidst earth's closing thunders,
saints shall stand before the throne!
O to enter that bright portal,
see that glowing firmament;
know, with thee, O God Immortal,
"Jesus Christ whom thou has sent!"

2 It was a strange and dreadful strife
when life and death contended.
The victory remained with life,
the reign of death is ended.
So the scripture makes it plain
that death by death’s own sword is slain.
Its sting is lost forever.
Hallelujah!
3 Then let us keep this feast today
that God has freely given.
The word of grace has swept away
the old and evil leaven.
Christ today will meet his own
and faith will feed on him alone;
the living bread of heaven.
