I know full well death must befall me

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a431 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 I know full well death must befall me; I know not when, or where, or how: It may be that my God will call me To-day, to-morrow, even now; Ere yet this present hour is fled, This living body may be dead. 2 I know, --God hath this knowledge given-- To me death is not death, indeed; To me death is a gate to heaven, A bound and end of all my need, A gentle evening, peaceful, blest, When I have passed from toil to rest. 3 Lord, let my soul, with unfeigned gladness, In living faith Thy call await To leave its cave of sin and sadness, And this vain world for heaven's estate; O keep my heart prepared alway, To lay aside this mortal clay. 4 Lord, grant that, by contrition riven, My heart I daily offer Thee, And let me close this life for heaven, Sealed by Thy death and agony: O let Thy death, with passion rife, My comfort be, my balm and life. 5 Lord, daily let me die then, ever; And at the last stand Thou by me, That death may not from Thee sever, But bring me nearer unto Thee! Then welcome my last hour shall be, When, where, and how it pleaseth Thee. Languages: English

Praise thou the Lord, the omnipotent Monarch of Glory

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #361 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Praise thou the Lord, the omnipotent Monarch of Glory; Join in, my soul, with the heavenly choir in their story; Come and partake; Psalt'ry and harp also wake: Sing the Creator's great glory! 2 Praise thou the Lord, who e'er ruleth and guideth all surely; Over life's pathway, so fearful, He leads thee securely; Ever He sends Mercies and blessings and friends; Then from thy heart thank Him truly. 3 Praise thou the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously made thee, Health has vouchsafed, and when heedlessly falling hath stayed thee; Fainting and weak, When not a word thou couldst speak, Wings of His mercy did shade thee. 4 Praise thou the Lord, who thy life hath so visibly guided, Streams of free grace, in His Son, for thy sin hath provided; Plain to thy view, God, the Almighty and True, Ne'er from His child is divided. 5 Praise thou the Lord, and forget all His benefits never; Swell the loud chorus, ye chosen, till broad as a river Upward it stream; Soul, O forget not this theme: Praise Him, O praise Him forever.

Lord, it belongs not to our care

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #403 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to our care Whether we die or live; To love and serve Thee be our share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 Christ leads us through no darker rooms Than He went through before; Whoever to God's kingdom comes, Must enter by this door. 3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made us meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 4 There shall we end our sad complaints, And weary sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints That sing Jehovah's praise. 5 Our knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And we shall be with him.

O Lord! how happy is the time

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #421 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 O Lord! how happy is the time, When in thy love I rest, When from my weariness I climb E'en to Thy tender breast. The night of sorrow endeth there, The rays outshine the sun, And in Thy pardon, and Thy care, The heaven of heavens is won. 2 The world may call itself my foe, Or let the world allure, I care not for the world--I go To this tried Friend and sure. And when life's fiercest storms are sent, Upon life's wildest sea, My little bark is confident, Because it holds by Thee. 3 When the law threatens endless death, Upon the dreadful hill, Straightway from its consuming breath My soul mounts higher still; It hastes to Jesus, wounded, slain, And finds in Him its home, Whence it shall not go forth again, And where no death can come. 4 I do not fear the wilderness, Where Thou hast been before; Nay! rather would I daily press Toward Thee, and near Thee more! Thou art my strength, on Thee I lean, My heart thou makest sing, And to Thy pastures rich and green Thy chosen flock wilt bring. 5 And if the gate that opens there Be closed to other men, It is not closed to those who share The heart of Jesus then. That is not losing much of life, Which is not losing thee, Who art as present in the strife, As in the victory! Languages: English

My Father! cheering name!

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #440 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou who changes not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Nor let this mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. Languages: English
