"Where is thy victory!"

Author: Geo. W. Bethune Hymnal: Laudes Domini #542 (1890) Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: It is not death to die Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die To leave this weary road, And 'mid the brotherhood on high, To be at home with God. 2 It is not death to close The eye long dimmed by tears, And wake, in glorious repose To spend eternal years. 3 It is not death to bear The wrench that sets us free From dungeon chain, to breathe the air Of boundless liberty. 4 It is not death to fling Aside this sinful dust, And rise, on strong exulting wing, To live among the just. 5 Jesus, thou Prince of life! Thy chosen cannot die; Like thee, they conquer in the strife, To reign with thee on high. Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWOOD

Rest from thy loved employ: The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy! 2 The voice at midnight came; He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame; He fell, but felt no fear. 3 His spirit with a bound Left its encumbering clay: His tent, at sunrise, on the ground A darkened ruin lay. 4 The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease, And life's long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. 5 Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And, while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour's joy. Languages: English

"His beloved sleep"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #544 (1890) Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: Why should we start, and fear to die? Lyrics: 1 Why should we start, and fear to die? What timorous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate of endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there. 2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife Fright our approaching souls away; We still shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay. 3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet, My soul should stretch her wings in haste, Fly fearless through death's iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she passed. 4 Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on his breast I lean my head, And breathe my life out sweetly there!

How mildly beam the closing eyes! How gently heaves the expiring breast! 2 So fades a summer-cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shores. 3 A holy quiet reigns around, A calm which life nor death destroys; And naught disturbs that peace profound, Which his unfettered soul enjoys. 4 Life's labor done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies; While heaven and earth combine to say, "How blest the righteous when he dies!"

Life's Sunset

Author: W. B. O. Peabody Hymnal: Laudes Domini #547 (1890) Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: Behold the western evening light! Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light! It melts in deepening gloom: So calmly Christians sink away, Descending to the tomb. The winds breathe low, the withering leaf Scarce whispers from the tree: So gently flows the parting breath, When good men cease to be. 2 How beautiful on all the hills The crimson light is shed! 'Tis like the peace the Christian gives To mourners round his bed. How mildly on the wandering cloud The sunset beam is cast! 'Tis like the memory left behind When loved ones breathe their last. 3 And now above the dews of night The rising star appears: So faith springs in the heart of those Whose eyes are bathed in tears. But soon the morning's happier light Its glory shall restore, And eyelids that are sealed in death Shall wake to close no more. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #548 (1890) Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: Beneath our feet and o'er our head Lyrics: 1 Beneath our feet and o'er our head Is equal warning given; Beneath us lie the countless dead, Above us is the heaven! Death rides on every passing breeze, And lurks in every flower; Each season hath its own disease, Its peril every hour! 2 Our eyes have seen the rosy light Of youth's soft cheek decay; And fate descend in sudden night On manhood's middle day. Our eyes have seen the steps of age Halt feebly to the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage, And dreams of days to come? 3 Then, mortal, turn! thy danger know; Where'er thy foot can tread, The earth rings hollow from below, And warns thee of her dead! Turn, mortal, turn! thy soul apply To truths divinely given: The dead, who underneath thee lie, Shall live for hell or heaven! Languages: English

Bowring Hymnal: Laudes Domini #552 (1890) Topics: Resurrection Of Believers ; Resurrection Of Believers First Line: When my last hour is close at hand Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, My last sad journey taken, Do thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand; Let me not be forsaken: O Lord! my spirit I resign Into thy loving hands divine; 'Tis safe within thy keeping. 2 Countless as sands upon the shore, My sins may then appall me; Yet, though my conscience vex me sore, Despair shall not enthrall me; For as I draw my latest breath, I'll think, Lord Christ! upon thy death; And there find consolation. 3 I shall not in the grave remain, Since thou death's bonds hast severed: By hope with thee to rise again, From fear of death delivered, I'll come to thee, where'er thou art, Live with thee, from thee never part; Therefore I die in rapture. 4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go, My longing arms extending; So fall asleep, in slumber deep, Slumber that knows no ending; Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Opens the gates of bliss, leads on To heaven, to life eternal.
