It is not death to die

Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #527 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the tree, To gain Thy Father's grace for me: 2 I pray Thee, through that bitter woe, With me, a sinner, mercy know, When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death, 3 When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear, 4 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus, come with speed, And help me in my hour of need. 5 Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death; All evil spirits drive away, But let Thy Spirit with me stay, 6 Until my soul the body leave; Then in Thy hands my soul receive, And let the earth my body keep, Till the last day shall break its sleep. 7 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the Judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me life, of Thy dear grace! 8 Implicitly I trust Thee, Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word: "In truth I tell you, who receives My Word, and keeps it, and believes, 9 Shall never fall God's wrath beneath, Shall never taste eternal death; Though here he must return to dust, He still is noways therefore lost; 10 For I will with a mighty hand Deliver him from Death's strong band, And lift him hence that he shall be Forever in my realm with me, 11 Forever living there in bliss." O let us not that glory miss! Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt, Help us to wait until Thou wilt 12 That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death, Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

When my last hour is close at hand

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #528 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, And I must hence betake me, Lord Jesus Christ, beside me stand, Nor let Thy help 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 though as sands upon the shore, My sins may be in number, I will not quail, but think of Thee; Thy death, Thy sorrow, borne for me, Thy sufferings shall uphold me. 3 I have been grafted in the Vine, And hence my comfort borrow, For Thou wilt surely keep me Thine Through fear, and pain, and sorrow; Yea, though I die, I die to Thee, Who through Thy death hast won for me The right to life eternal. 4 Since Thou from death didst rise again, In death Thou wilt not leave me; Lord, Thy ascension soothes my pain, No fear of death shall grieve me; For Thou wilt have me where Thou art, And so with joy I can depart To be with Thee forever. 5 And so I stretch mine arms to Thee, And gladly hence betake me; Peaceful and calm my sleep shall be, 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. Languages: English

"We are confident"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #539 (1890) Topics: The Christian's Death; Death; Hope In Death; Death; Hope In Death First Line: Why do we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arms. 2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all the saints he blessed, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way: Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake! ye nations under ground; Ye saints! ascend the skies.

"Nearer"

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: Laudes Domini #541 (1890) Topics: The Christian's Death; Death; Hope In Death; Death; Hope In Death First Line: One sweetly solemn thought Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, Nearer my home, to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before. Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light 3 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I, to-day, are nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death. Languages: English

Time speeds away, and death comes on. How swiftly, ah, how suddenly, May death be here, and life be gone! My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 2 O Father, cover all my sins With Jesus' merits, who alone The pardon that I covet wins, And makes His long-sought Rest my own. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 3 Then death may come or tarry yet; I know in Christ I perish not. He never will His own forget; He gives me robes without a spot. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 4 And thus I live in God at peace, And die without a thought of fear, Content to take what God decrees, For through His Son my faith is clear; His grace shall be in death my stay, And peace shall bless my dying day.

Life's Sunset

Author: W. B. O. Peabody Hymnal: Laudes Domini #547 (1890) Topics: The Christian's Death; Death; Hope In Death; Death; Hope In Death First Line: Behold the western evening light! Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light! It melts in deepening gloom: So calmly Christians sink away, Descending to the tomb. The winds breathe low, the withering leaf Scarce whispers from the tree: So gently flows the parting breath, When good men cease to be. 2 How beautiful on all the hills The crimson light is shed! 'Tis like the peace the Christian gives To mourners round his bed. How mildly on the wandering cloud The sunset beam is cast! 'Tis like the memory left behind When loved ones breathe their last. 3 And now above the dews of night The rising star appears: So faith springs in the heart of those Whose eyes are bathed in tears. But soon the morning's happier light Its glory shall restore, And eyelids that are sealed in death Shall wake to close no more. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

Death rides on every passing breeze, And lurks in every flower; Each season hath its own disease, Its peril every hour! 2 Our eyes have seen the rosy light Of youth's soft cheek decay; And fate descend in sudden night On manhood's middle day. Our eyes have seen the steps of age Halt feebly to the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage, And dreams of days to come? 3 Then, mortal, turn! thy danger know; Where'er thy foot can tread, The earth rings hollow from below, And warns thee of her dead! Turn, mortal, turn! thy soul apply To truths divinely given: The dead, who underneath thee lie, Shall live for hell or heaven! Languages: English

I conquer though I die, For Christ with Death once wrestled here. Thy strife, O Christ, with death's dark power Upholds me in this fearful hour. 2 In faith I hide myself in Thee; I shall not perish in the strife; I share Thy war, Thy victory, And death is swallowed up in Life. Thy strife, O Christ, with death of yore Hath conquered, and I fear no more. Languages: English Tune Title: WINKWORTH
