Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #434 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope 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 aproach 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.

O world, I must now leave thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #436 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 O world, I now must leave thee, But little doth it grieve me, I seek my native land; True life I there inherit, And here I yield my spirit With joy to God's all-gracious hand. 2 So on His Word relying, I know, while I am dying I soon shall see His face, Through Christ whose death hath bought me; The Father's love He brought me, And now prepares for me a place. 3 The grave hath lost its terrors, Since for my sins and errors, My Savior did atone: My works can nought avail me, But His work cannot fail me, I rest in faith on Him alone. 4 And so I hence am going In peace, full surely knowing That now I shall have rest: I feel death's icy finger; My soul here cannot linger, Nor would I stay--to go is best. 5 O world, I yet would teach thee That death will surely reach thee; Thou too must follow me; Then ere God's grace forsake thee, Repent! to Christ betake thee, That God have mercy too on thee.

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #449 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Now lay we calmly in the grave This form, whereof no doubt we have That it shall rise again that day, In glorious triumph o'er decay. 2 And so to earth again we trust What came from dust, and turns to dust, And from the dust shall surely rise When the last trumpet fills the skies. 3 His soul is living now in God, Whose grace his pardon hath bestowed, Who through His Son redeemed him here From bonds of Satan, sin, and fear. 4 His trials and his griefs are past; A blessed end is his at last; He bore Christ's yoke and did His will, And though he died he liveth still. 5 He lives where none do mourn and weep, And calmly shall this body sleep, Till God shall death himself destroy, And raise it into glorious joy. 6 He suffered pain and grief below, Christ heals him now from all his woe; For him hath endless joy begun; He shines in glory like the sun. 7 Then let us leave him to his rest, And homeward turn, for he is blest; And we must well our souls prepare, When death shall come, to meet him there. 8 So help us, Christ, our Hope in loss; Thou hast redeemed us by Thy cross From endless death and misery; We praise, we bless, we worship Thee!

The day is surely drawing near

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #457 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near, When God's Son, the Anointed, Will with great majesty appear, As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease, When flames on flames will still increase, As the Apostle teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound And all the earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live shall in that hour, By the Almighty's boundless power, Be changed at His commanding. 3 A book is opened then to all-- A record truly telling What each hath done, both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling. And ev'ry heart be clearly seen, And all be known as they have been, In thoughts and words and actions. 4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word And loved their earthly treasures! With shame and trembling they will stand And at the Judge's stern command Must leave the Lord forever. 5 O may my name, dear Lord, be found, Free from all condemnation, For Thy death's sake, Thy pains and wounds, In Thy book of salvation. I will not doubt:--I trust in Thee;-- From Satan Thou have made me free, And from all condemnation. 6 Therefore my Intercessor be, And for Thy death and merit Declare my name from judgment free, With all who life inherit; That with my brethren I may stand With Thee in heaven, our fatherland, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 7 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay, O hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come mighty Judge, come, make us free From ev'ry evil. Amen! Languages: English

Jerusalem the golden!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #467 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden! With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare! 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, and all the martyr-throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene. The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 Jerusalem the golden, Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and pleasant city, Shall I e'er win thy grace? I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless; Shall I e'er win the prize itself? O my Redeemer, yes! Languages: English

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #468 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly, It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, It hastes to seek its Fountain, And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt you come at last, When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her, with guidance tender, To heaven, her fatherland. 3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, The fiery care shall bear her up to thee, Through all these lower skies, To yonder shining regions, Where down, to meet her, come The blessed angel-legions, And bid her welcome home. 4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy nought, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 5 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones of earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me, As in the far off years Their words oft came to greet me, In yonder land of tears. 6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true, Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do, I see them shine forever, All glorious as the sun, 'Mid light that fadeth never, Their perfect freedom won. 7 And when within that lovely Paradise And last I safely dwell, From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise, What joy my lips shall tell, While holy saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure hallelujah's ringing, Around me evermore. 8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne With harp and trumpet raise Glad notes, till heav'ns vast halls vibrate the tone Of their melodious praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song!
