To the Name of Our Salvation

Author: Unknown; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: ELH1996 #159 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Year Written: 1496 Lyrics: 1. To the name of our salvation Laud and honor let us pay, Which for many a generation Hid in God's foreknowledge lay; But with holy exultation We may sing aloud today. 2 Jesus is the name we treasure, Name beyond what words can tell; Name of gladness, name of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well; Name of sweetness, passing measure, Saving us from sin and hell. 3 'Tis the name for adoration; 'Tis the name of victory; 'Tis the name for meditation In this vale of misery; 'Tis the name for veneration By the citizens on high. 4 'Tis the name that whoso preacheth Speaks like music to the ear; Who in prayer this name beseecheth Sweetest comfort findeth near: Who its perfect wisdom reacheth Heav'nly joy possesseth here. 5 Jesus is the name prevailing Over ev'ry name by right; At this name, in terror wailing, Powers of hell are put to flight; God, in mercy never failing, Saves us by this name of might. 6 Therefore we in love adoring This most blessed name revere, Holy Jesus, Thee imploring So to write it in us here That hereafter, heav'nward soaring, We may sing with angels there.

Winkworth, 1827-78; Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #480 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Year Written: 1575 First Line: Now hush your cries and shed no tear Lyrics: 1 Now hush your cries and shed no tear, On such death none should look with fear; A faithful Christian now has won, And with this death true life's begun. 2 These bones, now dead, again shall fell New warmth and vigour through them steal; And reunited they shall soar On high to live forevermore. 3 The buried grain of wheat must die, And long in withered state must lie, Yet springs to light all sweet and fair, Its proper fruit at last to bear. 4 E'en so this body, made of dust, To earth we once again entrust, Where it shall slumber free from pain Till from the dead it rise again. 5 God breathed into this house of clay The spirit that hath passed away; The righteous mind, the noble heart, The living faith did Christ impart. 6 Ah! would that promised day were here When Christ will once again appear And bring them to their heav'nly home Who have been buried in the tomb.

For where Thou art, there shall I be That I may ever live with Thee; That is my hope when dying. 5 My spirit I commend to Thee And gladly hence betake me; Peaceful and calm my sleep shall be, No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, And He will bear me into life And open heav'n before me. Topics: Death and Burial; Trinity 16 Languages: English Tune Title: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN

O How Blest Are Ye Whose Toils Are Ended

Author: S. Dach; H. W. Longfellow, 1807-82 Hymnal: ELH1996 #526 (1996) Meter: 10.10.5.10 Year Written: 1635 Lyrics: 1 O how blest are ye whose toils are ended, Who through death have unto God ascended! Ye have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 We are still as in a dungeon living, Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving; Our undertakings Are but toils and troubles and heartbreakings. 3 Ye meanwhile are in your chambers sleeping, Quiet, and set free from all our weeping; No cross or sadness There can hinder your untroubled gladness. 4 Christ has wiped away your tears forever; Ye have that for which we still endeavor; To you are chanted Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted. 5 Ah, who would, then, not depart with gladness To inherit heav'n for earthly sadness? Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 6 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With Thee, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: Death: A Sleep; Trinity 24 Languages: English
