Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #308 (1854) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Grave Lyrics: Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime, In full activity of zeal and power; A Christian cannot die before his time, The Lord's appointment is the servant's hour. Go to the grave; at noon from labour cease; Rest on thy sheaves, thy harvest-task is done; Come from the heart of battle, and in peace, Soldier, go home; with thee the fight is won. 328 Go to the grave; though like a fallen tree, At once with verdure, flowers, and fruitage crown'd; Thy form may perish, and thine honours be Lost in the mouldering bosom of the ground;-- Go to the grave, which, faithful to its trust, The germ of immortality shall keep; While safe, as watch'd by cherubim, thy dust Shall, till the Judgment-day, in Jesus sleep. Go to the grave, for there thy Saviour lay In Death's embraces, ere He rose on high; And all the ransom'd, by that narrow way, Pass to eternal life beyond the sky. Go to the grave;--no, take thy seat above; Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord, Where thou, for faith and hope, hast perfect love, And open vision for the written Word. Languages: English

Author: Ch. Beecher Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #917 (1873) Topics: Rest in the Grave Lyrics: 1 There's rest in the grave, Life's toils are all past, Night cometh at last: How calmly I rest In the sleep of the blest, Nor hear life's storm rave O'er my green, grassy grave. 2 No rest in the grave-- Heaven's dawn purples fast, Morn's splendors are cast Like shafts through the gloom Of the dark, silent tomb; Heaven's fair bowers wave-- No rest in the grave! 3 Arise from the grave! Heaven's bright, burning throng Come rushing along; They gird me about, And triumphant shout, As myriad palms wave, Ascend from the grave.

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #723 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Grave Lyrics: 1 The grave is now a favour'd spot,-- To saints who sleep, in Jesus bless'd; For there the wicked trouble not, And there the weary are at rest. 2 At rest in Jesus' faithful arms; At rest as in a peaceful bed; Secure from all the dreadful storms, Which round this sinful world are spread. 3 Thrice happy souls, who're gone before To that inheritance divine! They labour, sorrow, sigh no more, But bright in endless glory shine. 4 Then let our mournful tears be dry, Or in a gentle measure flow; We hail them happy in the sky, And joyful wait our call to go.

He is with us, and who can oppose? 4 So, Lord, we commit this our brother to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free; We know that through grace, when our life here is done, We live still in Thee, and forever in one. 5 All glory to Thee, Father, Spirit, and Son, Who three art in person, in substance but one, In whom we have victory over the grave, Who lovest Thy people to pardon and save.

The Tender Love a Father Has

Hymnal: Psalms for All Seasons #103D (2012) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Grave Lyrics: 1 The tender love a father has for all his children dear-- such love the Lord bestows on those who worship him in fear. 2 The Lord remembers we are dust, and all our frailty knows; our life is like the tender grass, and as the flower it grows. 3 The flower is withered by the wind that smites with blighting breath; so we are quickly swept away before the blast of death. 4 Unchanging is the love of God, from age to age the same, displayed to all who do his will and reverence his name. 5 Those who his gracious covenant keep the Lord will ever bless; their children's children shall rejoice to see his righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 103 Tune Title: TALLIS ORDINAL
