And must this body die?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a450 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 Corruption, earth, and worms, Shall but refine this flesh, Till my triumphant spirit comes To put it on afresh. 3 God, my Redeemer, lives, And ever, from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 4 Arrayed in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And every shape, and every face, Look heav'nly and divine. 5 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 6 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.

Shall man, O God of light and life

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a451 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, Forever moulder in the grave? Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work, Thy promise and Thy power to save? 2 Shall life revisit dying worms, And spread the joyful insect's wing! And, oh! shall man awake no more To see Thy face, Thy name to sing? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heav'n with praise and wonder rung. 4 Him, the First--Fruits, His chosen sons Shall follow from the vanquished grave; He mounts His throne, the King of kings, His Church to quicken and to save. 5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold, to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake; And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise, And hail their Savior and their King.

Let thoughtless thousands choose the road

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a452 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely Thine. 2 On Christ, by faith, I fain would live, From Him, my life, my all receive; To Him devote my fleeting hours, Serve Him alone with all my powers. 3 Christ is my everlasting all; To Him I look, on Him I call; He will my ev'ry want supply, In time, and through eternity. 4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here; Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain; To live is Christ--to die is gain. 5 Soon will the saints in glory meet, Soon walk through ev'ry golden street, And sing on ev'ry blissful plain, To live is Christ, to die is gain.

There is a land of pure delight

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a453 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav’nly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And view the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

There is an hour of peaceful rest

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a454 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mourning wand’rers given; There is a joy for souls distressed, A balm for ev'ry wounded breast-- ’Tis found above--in heaven. 2 There is a soft, a downy bed, 'Tis fair as breath of even; A couch for weary mortals spread, Where they may rest the aching head, And find repose--in heaven. 3 There is a home for weary souls, By sin and sorrow driven; When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise and ocean rolls, And all is drear-- but heaven. 4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye, To brighter prospects given; And views the tempest passing by, The ev'ning shadows quickly fly, And all serene--in heaven. 5 There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom, And joys supreme are given; There, joys divine disperse the gloom: Beyond the confines of the tomb Appears the dawn of heaven.

There is an hour of hallowed peace

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a455 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace, For those with care oppressed, When sighs and sorr'wing tears shall cease, And all be hushed to rest: 2 ‘Tis then the soul is freed from fears, And doubts here here annoy: Then they that oft have sown in tears Shall reap again in joy. 3 There is a home of sweet repose, Where storms assail no more; The stream of endless pleasure flows On that celestial shore: 4 There purity with love appears, And bliss without alloy; Then they that oft had sown in tears Shall reap again in joy.

Jesus, my Redeemer, lives

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a456 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives, Christ, my Trust, is dead no more; In the strength this knowledge gives, Shall not all my fears be o'er? Calm, though the death's long night be fraught Still with many an anxious thought? 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives, And His life I once shall see; Bright the hope the promise gives, Where He is I too shall be. Shall I fear then? Can the Head Rise and leave the members dead? 3 Close to Him my soul is bound! In the bonds of hope enclasped; Faith's strong hand this soul hath found, And the Rock hath firmly grasped; Death shall ne'er my soul remove From her refuge in Thy love. 4 I shall see Him with these eyes-- Him whom I shall surely know; Not another shall I rise, With His love this heart shall glow; Only there shall disappear Weakness in and round me here. 5 Ye who suffer, sigh, and moan, Fresh and glorious there shall reign; Earthly here the seed is sown, Heavenly it shall rise again; Natural here the death we die, Spiritual our life on high. 6 Body, be thou of good cheer, In thy Savior's care rejoice; Give not place to gloom and fear-- Dead, thou yet shalt know His voice, When the final trump is heard, And the deaf, cold grave is stirred. 7 Laugh to scorn then death and hell, Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave; Caught into the air to dwell With the Lord who comes to save, We shall trample on our foes, Mortal weakness, fear and woes. 8 Only see ye that your heart Rise betimes from earthly lust; Would ye there with Him have part, Here obey your Lord and trust, Fix your hearts beyond the skies, Whither ye yourselves would rise.

The day is surely drawing near

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a457 (1895) 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

And will the Judge descend?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a458 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend? And must the dead arise? And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes! 2 And from His righteous lips Shall this dread sentence sound; And, through the num'rous guilty throng, Spread black despair around? 3 "Depart from me, accursed, "To everlasting flame, For rebel-angels first prepared, Where mercy never came." 4 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heav'n, before His face, Astonished, shrink away? 5 But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound, What joyful tidings spread! 6 Ye sinners, seek His grace Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross, And find salvation there.

That day of wrath, that dreadful day

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a459 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When, shriv'ling like a parched scroll, The flaming heav'ns together roll, When louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the dead? 3 O on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
