Though nature's voice you must obey

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #448 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Particular Occasions and Circumstances On the Death of Relatives and Friends Lyrics: 1 Though nature's voice you must obey, Think, while your swelling griefs o'erflow, That hand, which takes your joys away, That sov'reign hand can heal your woe. 2 And, while your mournful thoughts deplore The parent gone, remov'd the friend! With hearts resign'd, his grace adore, On whom your nobler hopes depend. 3 Does he not bid his children come Through death's dark shades to realms of light? Yet, when he calls them to their home Shall fond survivors mourn their flight? 4 His word--here let your souls rely-- Immortal consolation gives: Your heav'nly Father cannot die, Th'eternal Friend for ever lives. 5 O be that best of friends your trust; On his almighty arm recline. He, when your comforts sink in dust, Can give you comforts more divine. Languages: English

At Parting

Tender shepherd of thy sheep! Let thy mercy and thy care All our souls in safety keep. 3 In thy strength may we be strong, Sweeten every cross and pain: Give us, if we live, ere long In thy peace to meet again. 4 Then if thou thy help afford, Ebenezers shall be rear'd; And our souls shall praise the Lord, Who our poor petitions heard.

At even, ere the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells (1823-1900) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #13 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Family and Friends Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, the sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we oppressed with various ills draw near; what if thy form we cannot see? we know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved thee well, and some have lost the love they had; 4 And some have found the world is vain, yet from the world they break not free; and some have friends who give them pain, yet have not sought a friend in thee; 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, for none are wholly free from sin; and they who fain would serve thee best are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man; thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; thy kind but searching glance can scan the very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power; no word from thee can fruitless fall: Hear, in this solemn evening hour, and in thy mercy heal us all.

Friend after friend departs

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #889 (1873) Topics: Departing Friends Lyrics: 1 Friend after friend departs: Who has not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts That finds not here an end. Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. 2 Beyond the flight of time, Beyond this vale of death, There surely is some blessed clime Where life is not a breath, Nor life's affections transient fire Whose sparks fly upward to expire. 3 There is a world above Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love Formed for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that happier sphere. 4 Thus star by star declines Till all are passed away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day. Nor sink those stars in empty night; They hide themselves in heaven's own light.
