Death and Heaven: The spirit's farewell to the body after long sickness

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CLXXIII (1802) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death And heaven; Death The moment or; Death And heaven; Death The moment or First Line: How am I held a pris'ner now Lyrics: Part I 1 How am I held a pris'ner now, Far from my God! this mortal chain Binds me to sorrow: all below Is short-liv'd ease, or tiresome pain. 2 When shall that wond'rous hour appear, Which frees me from this dark abode, To live at large in regions where Nor cloud nor vail shall hide my God? 3 Farewell this flesh, these ears, these eyes, These snares and fetters of the mind; My God! nor let this frame arise, Till ev'ry dust be will refin'd. 4 Blest Jesus! make my nature whole, Mould me a body like thy own, Then shall it better serve my soul, In works of praise and worlds unknown. Part II 5 Absent from flesh! O blissful thought! What unknown joys this moment brings! Freed from the mischief sin hath wrought, From pains and tears and all their springs. 6 Absent from flesh! illustrious day! Surprising scene! triumphant stroe! That rends the prison of my clay, And I can feel my fetters broke. 7 Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul! Where feet or wings could never climb, Beyond the heav'ns where planets roll, Measuring the cares and joys of time. 8 I go where God and glory shine; His presence makes eternal day: My all that's mortal I resign, For Jesus waits and points the way Part III 9 And is this heav'n? and am I there? How short the road, how swift the fligt! I am all life, all eye, all ear; Jesus is here--my soul's delight. 10 Is this the heav'nly friend who hung In blood and anguish on the tree, Whom Paul proclaim'd, whom David sung, Who dy'd for them, who dy'd for me? 11 Lo! he presents me at the throne All spotless; there the Godhead reigns Sublime and peaceful through the Son: Awake, my voice in heav'nly strains. 12 How fair thou blest, eternal word! Full Godhead shines through all thy face! Thy death procur'd this blest abode, Thy vital beams adorn the place! Part IV 13 Creator God, eternal light, Fountain of good, tremendous pow'r, Ocean of wonders, blissful sight, Beauty and love unknown before! 14 Thy grace, thy nature, all unknown In yon dark region whence I came, Where languid glimpses from thy throne, And feeble whispers taught thy name. 15 I'm in a world where all is new; Myself, my God, O blest amaze! Not my best hopes or wishes knew To form a shadow of this grace. 16 Fix'd on my God my heart adore, My restless thoughts forbear to rove, Ye meaner passions stir no more, But all my pow'rs be joy and love.

Who knows how near my end may be?

Author: Emilie Juliana, Countess of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt Hymnal: Hymn Book #117 (1884) Topics: Death Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my end may be? Time speeds away, and death comes on; How swiftly, ah! how suddenly May death be here, and life be gone! My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 2 The world that smiled when morn was come May change for me ere close of eve; So long as earth is still my home In peril of my death I live; My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 3 Teach me to ponder oft my end, And ere the hour of death appears, To cast my soul on Christ, its friend, Nor spare repentant sighs and tears; My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 4 And let me now so order all, That ever ready I may be, To say with joy, whate’er befall, Lord, as Thou wilt, so lead Thou me; My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 5 Let heaven to me be ever sweet, And this world bitter let me find; That I 'mid all its toil and heat May keep eternity in mind; My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 6 O Father, cover all my sins With Jesus’ merits, who alone The pardon that I covet wins, And makes his long-sought rest my own; My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 7 His sorrows and His cross I know Make death-beds soft, and light the grave, They comfort in the hour of woe, They give me all I fain would have; My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 8 From Him can naught my soul divide, Nor life nor death can part us now; I thrust my hand into His side, And say, My Lord and God art Thou! My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 9 In holy Baptism long ago I joined me to the living Vine; Thou lovest me in Him I know, In Him Thou dost accept me Thine. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day, 10 And I have eaten of His flesh, And drunk His blood,--nor can I be Forsaken now, nor doubt afresh, I am in Him, and He in me; My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 11 Then death may come, or tarry yet, I know in Christ I perish not, He never will His own forget, He gives me robes without a spot: My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 12 And thus I live in God at peace, And die without a thought or fear, Content to take what God decrees, For through His Son my faith is clear; His grace shall be in death my stay, And peace shall bless my dying day.
