Pride and Death; or, The Vanity of Life and Riches
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #84b (1786) Topics: Death of saints and sinners; Death and pride; Death and the resurrection; Pride and death; Resurrection and death; Death of saints and sinners; Death and pride; Death and the resurrection; Pride and death; Resurrection and death First Line: Why doth the man of riches grow Lyrics: 1 Why doth the man of riches grow
To insolence and pride,
To see his wealth and honours flow
With every rising tide.
2 [Why doth he treat the poor with scorn,
Made of the self-same clay,
And boast as though his flesh was born
Of better dust than they?]
3 Not all his treasures can procure
His soul a short reprieve,
Redeem from death one guilty hour,
Or make his brother live.
4 Eternal life can ne'er be sold,
The ransom is too high;
Justice will ne'er be brib'd with gold,
That man may never die.
5 He sees the brutish and the wise,
The timorous and the brave,
Quit their possessions, close their eyes,
And hasten to the grave.
6 Yet 'tis his inward thought and pride,
"My house shall ever stand;
"And that my name may long abide,
"I'll give it to my land."
7 Vain are his thoughts, his hopes are lost,
How soon his memory dies!
His name is written in the dust,
Where his own body lies.
Pause.
8 This is the folly of their way
And yet their sons as vain
Approve the words their fathers say,
And act their works again.
9 Men void of wisdom and of grace,
Tho' honour raise them high,
Live like the beast, a thoughtless race,
And like the beast they die.
10 [Laid in the grave like silly sheep,
Death triumphs o'er them there,
Till the last trumpet breaks their sleep,
And wakes them in despair.] Scripture: Psalm 49:6-14 Languages: English

And boast the large estates they have!
How vain are riches to secure
Their haughty owners from the grave!
2 They can’t redeem one hour from death
With all the wealth in which they trust;
Nor give a dying brother breath,
When God commands him down to dust.
3 There the dark earth and dismal shade
Shall clasp their naked bodies round;
That flesh so delicately fed
Lies could, and moulders in the ground.
4 Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies,
And leaves his glories in the tomb;
The saints shall in the morning rise,
And find the oppressor's awful doom.
5 His honours perish in the dust,
And pomp and beauty, birth and blood;
That glorious day exalts the just
To full dominion o’er the proud.
6 My Saviour shall my life restore,
And raise me from my dark abode;
My flesh and soul shall part no more,
But dwell forever near my God. Scripture: Psalm 49 Languages: English

The Death and Resurrection of Christ
Death and Resurrection of Christ
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #LIX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ His death; Christ His death First Line: To break the chains of sin and death Lyrics: 1 To break the chains of sin and death,
Our glorious Jesus yields his breath;
How strange the conquest, strange to tell,
By death he conquers death and hell.
2 While standing in the sinner's stead,
Billows of wrath roll e'er his head;
Light from the Godhead is withdrawn,
And Jesus drinks the cup alone.
3 Legions of angels fill the skies,
While our Redeemer bleeds and dies;
All nature reels beneath the load,
And trembling speaks the wrath of God.
4 The rocks are with convulsions torn,
And all the heav'ns in sackcloth mourn;
But lo! when the third morning comes,
Emmanuel rising, leaves the tombs.
5 The rising God let angels sing,
The heavens with Hallelujahs ring:
"Worthy the Lamb, who once was slain
Let him in pow'r and glory reign."
6 Hail happy morn, which sees him rise,
We shout him welcome to the skies,
Welcome to glories all his own,
And welcome to his father's throne.

Death and Resurrection of Christ
Victory over Death thro' Christ
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death; Death Victory over it through Christ; Victory over Death First Line: When death appears before my sight Lyrics: 1 When death appears before my sight
In all his dire array,
Unequal to the dreadful fight,
My courage dies away.
2 But see, my glorious leader nigh!
My Lord, my Savior lives;
Before him death's pale terrors fly,
And my faint heart revives.
3 He left his dazzling throne above,
He met the tyrant's dart,
And (O! amazing power of love;)
Receiv'd it in his heart.
4 No more, O grim destroyer, boast,
Thy universal sway'
To heaven-born souls thy sting is lost,
Thy night, the gates of day.
5 Lord, I commit my soul to thee,
Accept the sacred trust,
Receive this nobler part of me,
And watch my sleeping dust:
6 'Till that illustrious morning come,
When all thy saints shall rise,
And cloth'd in full immortal bloom,
Attend thee to the skies.
7 When thy triumphant armies sing
The honors of thy name,
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With glory to the lamb;
8 O let me join the raptur'd lays,
And with the blissful throng,
Resound salvation, power, and praise,
In everlasting song.

Victory over Death thro' Christ
Death and Resurrection of Christ
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #LIX (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ His death; Christ His death First Line: To break the chains of sin and death Lyrics: 1 To break the chains of sin and death,
Our glorious Jesus yields his breath;
How strange the conquest, strange to tell,
By death he conquers death and hell.
2 While standing in the sinner's stead,
Billows of wrath roll e'er his head;
Light from the Godhead is withdrawn,
And Jesus drinks the cup alone.
3 Legions of angels fill the skies,
While our Redeemer bleeds and dies;
All nature reels beneath the load,
And trembling speaks the wrath of God.
4 The rocks are with convulsions torn,
And all the heav'ns in sackcloth mourn;
But lo! when the third morning comes,
Emmanuel rising, leaves the tombs.
5 The rising God let angels sing,
The heavens with Hallelujahs ring:
"Worthy the Lamb, who once was slain
Let him in pow'r and glory reign."
6 Hail happy morn, which sees him rise,
We shout him welcome to the skies,
Welcome to glories all his own,
And welcome to his father's throne.

Death and Resurrection of Christ
I know full well death must befall me
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a431 (1895) Topics: 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

Lord, Thy Death and Passion Give
Author: Johann Heermann; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #92 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Death Death of Christ and its results Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thy death and passion give
Strength and comfort in my need.
Ev'ry hour while here I live,
On Thy love my soul shall feed.
Thou didst death for me endure,
And I shun all thoughts impure;
Thinking on Thy bitter pains,
Hushed in prayer my heart remains.
2 Thy blest cross hath pow'r to heal
All the wounds of sin and strife.
Lost in Thee, my heart doth feel
Sudden warmth and nobler life.
In my saddest, darkest grief,
Let Thy sweetness bring relief.
Thou who camest but to save,
Thou who fearest not the grave!
3 Lord, in Thee I place my trust,
Thou art my Defense and Tower;
Death Thou treadest in the dust,
O'er my soul he hath no power.
That I may have part in Thee,
Help and save and comfort me;
Give me of Thy grace and might,
Resurrection, life and light.
4 Fount of good, within me dwell,
For the peace Thy presence sheds
Keeps us safe in conflict fell,
Charms the pain from dying beds.
Hide me safe within Thine arm,
Where no foe can hurt or harm;
Whoso, Lord, in Thee doth rest,
He hath conquered, he is blest.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: O LIEBE MEINER LIEBE
