I know of a Sleep in Jesus' Name

Author: M. B. Landstad; Smeby; Doving; Kasberg Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Hope Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth folds in her arms my weary frame, And shelters it till the morrow; My soul is at home with God in heaven, Her sorrows are past and over. 2 I know of a peaceful eventide; And when I am faint and weary, At times with the journey sorely tried, Through hours that are long and dreary; Then often I yearn to lay me down, And sink into blissful slumber. 3 I know of a morning bright and fair, When tidings of joy shall wake us, When songs from on high shall fill the air, And God to His glory take us, When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of awaking! 4 Now opens the Father's house above, The names of the blest are given: Lord, gather us there; let none we love Be missed in the joys of heaven. Vouchsafe Thou us all a place with Thee; We ask through our dear Redeemer. 5 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed, And take me into Thy keeping, And say when my spirit hence is fled: This child is not dead, but sleeping." And leave me not, Savior, till I rise, To praise Thee in life eternal. Used With Tune: DEN SIGNEDE DAG

Although the wind and rain with fury block the way, friend, climb on. Up above the dark clouds The air is clear and the sky is blue. Have faith in God's great power, And bravely trusting it, still climb on. 3 Help to each other give along the pathway leading above. If someone fallen be, and stricken down with pain on the way, Tend with care to their needs, And comfort give with the hands of love.

For the midnight hour is fleeting;" So with clear voice, they stand repeating: "O where are ye, ye virgins wise; The bridegroom is at hand, Take up your lamps and stand! Hallelujah! Each wedding guest Fit for the feast, Arise, go forth to meet your Lord." 2 Zion hears the watchman's singing, And now with joyous heart upspringing, She stands and on the call attends. Her Friend comes from heaven glorious, Strong in His grace, in truth victorious; Her light shines bright, her star ascends. "Now come, thou Blessed One, Lord Jesus, God's own Son." Hallelujah! We enter all The banquet hall, And feast there with our heavenly King. 3 "Glory unto Thee be given, By men and by the host of heaven, With harps and with the cymbals' tone. Twelve pearls are Thy city's portals, Wherein we dwell with the immortals, With angels high around Thy throne. No eye hath seen such sight, No ear heard such delight, Hallelujah! Thine hour is this, O Heavenly Bliss, Thine now, and shall be evermore!" Used With Tune: AWAKE, ARISE! (Wachet auf! ruft uns die Stimme) Text Sources: Tr. Anon. Ohio Synod Hymnal, 1880

Lo, what a pleasing sight

How blest are all whose hearts unite In bonds of piety! 2 From those celestial springs, Such streams of comfort flow, As no increase of riches brings, Nor honors can bestow. 3 All in their stations move, And each performs his part, In all the cares of life and love, With sympathizing heart. 4 Formed for the purest joys, By one desire possesed, One aim the zeal of all employs, To make each other blest. 5 No bliss can equal theirs, Where such affections meet; While praise devout, and mingled pray'rs, Make their communion sweet. 6 'Tis the same pleasure fills The breast in worlds above, Where joy like morning dew distils, And all the air is love.

When my last hour is close at hand

Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, And I must hence betake me, Do Thou, Lord Jesus, by me stand, Nor let Thine aid forsake me; To Thy blest hands I now commend My soul, at this my earthly end, And Thou wilt safely keep it. 2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore, My conscience cannot slumber; But I will cleave to Thee the more, Though they the sands outnumber; I will remember Thou didst die, Will think on Thy most bitter cry; Thy sufferings shall uphold me. 3 That was graft into the Vine, Hence will I comfort borrow; For Thou wilt surely keep me Thine Through fear, and pain, and sorrow; Yea, though I die, I die to Thee: For Thou through death didst win for me The right to life eternal. 4 Since Thou didst leave the grave again, It cannot be my dwelling: Thou art in heaven, this soothes my pain, All fear of death dispelling; For Thou wilt have me where Thou art, And so with joy can I depart, To be with Thee forever. 5 To Thee I now stretch out mine arms, And gladly hence betake me; I sleep at peace from all alarms, No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, And He will bear me into life, And open heaven before me.
