Flung to the heedless winds
Author: Dr. Martin Luther; John Alexander Messenger Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Flung to the heedless winds,
Or on the waters cast,
The martyrs' ashes will
Be gathered at the last:
And from that scattered dust,
Around us and abroad,
Shall spring a plenteous seed
Of witnesses for God.
2 Jesus has now received
Their latest living breath;
Yet vain is Satan's boast
Of vict'ry in their death:
Still, still, though dead, they speak,
And, trumpet-tongued, proclaim
To many a wak'ning land
The one availing Name. Used With Tune: JEWETT
Flung to the heedless winds
Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God
Author: Dr. Paul Eber; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God,
Thou who for me hast borne the rod,
And on the cross hast died in pain,
For me Thy Father's love to gain:
2 I pray, by all Thy bitter woe,
Thou wouldst Thy grace on me bestow,
When heavily I draw my breath,
In the last agonies of death.
3 And when my spirit leaves its bands,
Then take it, Lord, into Thy hands;
My body, may it rest in clay,
Till the approach of the last day.
4 And at the last resurrection great,
Be Thou my Joy and Advocate!
Remember not my sins so rife,
But pardon grant in grace, and life.
5 As Thou hast promised unto me,
Lord in Thy Word—and I trust Thee—
"Who keeps my Word, I truly say,
And 'bides by faith in me alway,
6 "Shall not be judged! shall by faith,
And nevermore shall taste of death!
And though his body here shall die,
Destruction still shall not come nigh.
7 "But I will with my mighty hands
Deliever him from death's cold bands,
And take him to my realm to me,
Where he shall e'er my glory see,
8 "And ever live in joys with me."
To which help us, yea! graciously.
O Lord! forgive our sins so great,
And help that we in patience wait,
9 Till our last hour on earth draws nigh,
And that our faith with watchful eye
May trust Thy Word e'er steadfastly,
Till blessedly we sleep in Thee. Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Pilgrim thro' this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more!
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing streams do flow.
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield!

And fixed the starry lights on high.
Wonders of grace to God belong:
Repeat His mercies in your song.
4 He fills the sun with morning light;
He bids the moon direct the night:

When suns and moons shall shine no more.
5 He sent His Son with power to save
From guilt, and darkness, and the grave.
Wonders of grace to God belong:
Repeat His mercies in your song.
6 Through this vain world He guides our feet,
And leads us to His heavenly seat;

When this vain world shall be no more. Used With Tune: MIGDOL

There is an hour of peaceful rest
Author: William Bingham Tappan Appears in 569 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wand’rers giv'n:
There is a joy for souls distressed,
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast,
’Tis found above in heav'n.
2 There is a soft, a downy bed,
'Tis fair as breath of even;
A couch for weary mortals spread,
Where they may rest the aching head,
And find repose in heaven.
3 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The ev'ning shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.
5 There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There, joys divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven. Used With Tune: TAPPAN
There is an hour of peaceful rest
Thee we adore, eternal Lord!

We praise Thy Name with one accord,
Thy saints, who here Thy goodness see,
Through all the world do worship Thee.
2 To Thee aloud all angels cry,
The heavens and all the powers on high:
Thee, holy, holy, holy King,
Lord God of hosts, they ever sing.
3 Th' apostles join the glorious throng;
The prophets swell th' immortal song;
The martyrs' noble army raise
Eternal anthems to Thy praise.
4 From day to day, O Lord, do we
Highly exalt and honor Thee!
Thy Name we worship and adore,
World without end, for evermore!
5 Vouchsafe, O Lord, we humbly pray,
To keep us safe from sin this day;
Have mercy, Lord, we trust in Thee;
O let us ne'er confounded be! Used With Tune: EISENACH (Mach's nit mir, Gott,nach deiner Güt)

There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,443 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-with'ring flowers:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav’nly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dressed in living green:
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
But tim'rous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering, on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And view the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes!
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Used With Tune: VARINA
There is a land of pure delight
Thee Lord, Our God, We Praise
Author: Dr. M. Luther Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 Thee Lord, our God, we praise,
To Thee, God, thanks we raise,
All the earth doth worship Thee,
Father in eternity;
All angels and the heavenly host
Vying who may praise Thee most.
All Cherubim and Seraphim,
Ever tuning the lofty hymn:
"Holy art Thou, our God!
Holy art Thou, our God!
Holy art Thou, our God!
Jehovah Saboath!"
2 Thy glorious power and mighty name
Rise over heaven and nature's frame.
The holy twelve Apostles all,
The Prophets Thou of old didst call,
The martyrs goodly company--
Send up their hymns of praise to Thee.
All Christendom with one accord
Exalt and praise their common Lord--
Thee, Father, on Thy lofty throne,
Thy well-beloved, Only Son,
The Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
They praise and honor evermore.
3 O Christ, to Thee, the glorious King,
Eternal Son of God, we sing.
To save our race from sin forlorn
Thou camest, of chaste virgin born;
Thou didst endure death's sharpest pain,
And open heaven for us again.
As equal there at God's right hand
Thou sittest in supreme command.
Thou, our exalted risen Head,
Wilt be the Judge of quick and dead.
4 Now help us, Lord, Thy servants here,
Whom Thou hast saved with blood so dear,
Let us have portion with the blest
In Thine eternal, glorious rest.
Lord Jesus, bless Thine heritage,
And shield Thy fold from age to age.
Protect and nurse Thine own with care,
Then let them endlessly glory share.
5 Daily, our God, we'll sing Thy praise,
And bless Thy name throughout our days.
Keep us, O Lord, throughout this day
From sin and every evil way:
Have mercy upon us, O Lord;
In all our need Thy grace afford;
Thy mercy unto us e'er show,
It is our only hope below.
Dear Lord! our hopes all rest in Thee,
Oh! let us ne'er confounded be. Amen! Text Sources: Te Deum; Tr. Comp.
Thee Lord, Our God, We Praise
Songs of praise the angels sang
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 550 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heav'n with hallelujas rang
When Jehovah's work begun,
When He spake and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose when He
Captive led captivity.
3 Heav'n and earth must pass away;
Songs of praise shall crown that day,
God will make new heav'ns and earth;
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall man alone be dumb
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No, the Church delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above. Used With Tune: POSEN (Himmel, Erde, Luft und Mer)
Songs of praise the angels sang
I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
Author: William Augustus Mühlenberg, D. D. Appears in 704 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
Where storm after storm rises dark o'er our way;
The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here
Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer.
2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin,
Temptation without, and corruption within:
E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears,
And the cup of salvation with penitent tears.
3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb:
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom:
There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise
To hail Him in triumph descending the skies.
4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God?
Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode,
Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains,
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns;
5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their Saviour and brethren, transported, to greet:
While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll,
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul! Used With Tune: FREDERICK
I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
