Where is death's sting
Author: Godfrey Fox Bradby, 1863-c. 1929 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 12:25 First Line: Where is death's sting? We were not born to die Lyrics: 1 Where is death's sting? We were not born to die,
nor only for the life beyond the grave;
all that is beautiful in earth and sky,
all skill, all knowledge, all the powers we have,
are of your giving, and in them we view
no dust and ashes, but a part of you.
2 Laughter is yours, the laughter free from scorn,
and yours the smile upon a cheerful face:
yours, too, the tears, when love for love must mourn,
and death brings silence for a little space.
You give to us and do not take away:
the parting is but here, and for a day.
3 Fullness of life, in body, mind and soul;
"Who saves their life shall lose it," you have said:
a great adventure with a glorious goal;
nothing that lives in you is ever dead:
brave living here, and then, beyond the grave,
more life and more adventure for the brave. Topics: Death; Funeral; Laughter / Mirth; Our Hope in God; Promise; Tears / Weeping Used With Tune: SONG 1

We Thank Thee, Lord
Author: Calvin W. Laufer Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: John 12:26 First Line: We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead Lyrics: 1 We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead
To blazoned heights and down the slopes of need;
They reach Thy throne, encompass land and sea,
And he who journeys in them walks with Thee.
2 We've sought and found Thee in the secret place
And marveled at the radiance of Thy face;
But often in some far-off Galilee
Beheld Thee fairer yet while serving Thee.
3 We've felt Thy touch in sorrow's darkened way
Abound with love and solace for the day;
And, 'neath the burdens there, Thy sovereignty
Has held our hearts enthralled while serving Thee.
4 We've seen Thy glory like a mantle spread
O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red;
But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free,
A splendor greater yet while serving Thee.
Amen. Topics: Christ Beauty; Christ Presence; Christ Sympathy; Discipleship; Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Used With Tune: FIELD

Jesus Is Lord
Author: Daniel K. L. Chua Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: Jesus is Lord! Behold, the King of kings Lyrics: 1 Jesus is Lord! Behold, the King of kings,
exalted high, the name above all names.
I sing his praise, the Lamb upon the throne,
who reigns in glory, power, and majesty.
2 This is my God. Behold his hands and side,
the wounds of love that healed my brokenness.
What God is this? What kind of sacrifice
would give so much to gain a loveless soul?
3 For me, to live is Christ, to die is gain,
for Christ has died that I might gain his life.
He is my all, my joy, my righteousness,
my hope of glory when he comes to reign.
4 Yes, suddenly, my God shall come again.
And every knee shall bow before his name.
And he shall reign forever on the throne.
And in his glory there I shall proclaim:
"Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!
Jesus is Lord! Jesus is Lord!"
