When life's tempestuous storms are o'er

Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Death Lyrics: 1 When life's tempestuous storms are o'er, How calm he meets the friendly shore Who lived averse from sin! Such peace on virtue's path attends, That, where the sinner's pleasure ends, The Christian's joys begin. 2 See smiling patience smooth his brow! See bending angels downwards bow, To left his soul on high! While, eager for the blest abode, He joins with them to praise the God, Who taught him how to die. 3 No sorrow drowns his lifted eyes; No horror wrests the struggling sighs, As from the sinner's breast: His God, the God of peace and love, Pours kindly solace from above, And heals his soul with rest. 4 Oh grant, my Saviour and my Friend! Such joys may gild my peaceful end, So calm my evening close, While, loosed from every earthly tie, With steady confidence I fly To Thee from whom I rose!

Go to thy rest, my child

Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Death Lyrics: 1 Go to thy rest, my child, Go to thy dreamless bed, Gentle and undefiled, With blessings on thy head. 2 Fresh roses in thy hand, Buds on thy pillow laid; Haste from this fearful land, Where flowers so quickly fade. 3 Before thy heart had learned In waywardness to stray; Before thy feet had turned The dark and downward way; 4 Ere sin had seared the breast, Or sorrow woke the tear; Rise to thy home of rest, In yon celestial sphere. 5 Because thy smile was fair, Thy lip and eye so bright, Because thy cradle-care Was such a fond delight,-- 6 Shall love, with weak embrace, Thy heavenward wing detain? No!--angel, seek thy place Amid heaven's cherub train.

O hear me, Lord! on thee I call

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances On the Death of Relatives and Friends Lyrics: 1 O hear me, Lord! on thee I call, And prostrate at thy footstool fall; Propitious in my cause appear, And bow to my request thine ear. 2 Look down, my only hope! look down; Behold me, but without a frown: And ne'er to my desiring eye Thy presence, heav'nly Lord! deny, 3 O let me, on thy aid reclin'd, Thee still my great salvation find; Nor leave me, helpless and forlorn, The absence of thy grace to mourn. 4 Though, doom'd the orphan's lot to bear, No father's kind concern I share, Nor o'er me wakes a mother's eye My wants attentive to supply:— 5 Adopted by thy care, in thee The Parent and the Friend I see; And, nourish'd by thy fost'ring hand, Within thy courts secure I stand.

The swift declining day

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Death Lyrics: 1 The swift declining day, How fast its moments fly! While evening's broad and gloomy shade Spreads o'er the western sky. 2 Ye mortals! mark its pace; Improve the hours of light; And know, your Maker can command An instantaneous night. 3 His word blots out the sun In its meridian blaze, And cuts from smiling vig'rous youth The remnant of its days. 4 On the dark mountain's brow Your feet shall quickly slide; And from its airy summit dash Your momentary pride. 5 Give glory to the Lord, Who rules the rolling spree; Submissive at his footstool bow, And seek salvation there. 6 One thing demands your care: O be it still pursu'd! Lest, slighted once, the season fair Should never be renew'd.

Lord! we adore thy wondrous name

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Death Lyrics: 1 Lord! we adore thy wondrous name; And make that name our trust, Which rais'd at first this curious frame From mean and lifeless dust. 2 Awhile these frail machines endure, The fabric of a day; Then, know their vital pow'rs no more, But moulder back to clay. 3 Yet, Lord! whate'er is felt or fear'd, This thought is our repose, That he, by whom our frame was rear'd, Its various frailties knows. 4 Thou view'st us with a pitying eye, While struggling with our load; In pains and dangers thou art nigh, Our Father, and our God. 5 Gently supported by thy love, We tend to realms of peace; Where ev'ry pain shall far remove, And ev'ry weakness cease.

The dying Christian

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Death First Line: From his low bed of mortal dust Lyrics: 1 From his low bed of mortal dust, Escap'd the prison of his clay, The new inhabitant of bliss To heav'n directs his wond'rous way. 2 Ye fields, that witness'd once his tears, Ye winds, that wafted oft his sighs, Ye mountains, where he breath'd his pray'rs, When sorrow's shadows veil'd his eyes; 3 No more the weary pilgrim mourns, No more affliction wrings his heart; Th'unfetter'd soul to God returns-- Forever he and anguish part! 4 Receive, O earth, his faded form, In thy cold bosom let it lie; Safe let it rest from ev'ry storm-- Soon must it rise, no more to die!
