Joyful Resignation to a Happy Departure From this Weary World
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Be glad, my heart! now fear no more Lyrics:
Be glad, my heart! now fear no more,
Let nothing ever grieve thee;
Christ lives, who lov’d thee long before
Thy being He did give thee,
And ere He made thy wondrous frame;
His love remaineth still the same,
It ne’er can change to hatred.
Be of good cheer! thy nearing end,
My heart! need not appal thee,
No ill’s in it; God doth extend,
His loving hand and call thee
From all the thousand forms of woe
That in this vale of tears below,
Thou ever hast endurèd.
’Tis true, ’tis call’d death’s agony,
But yet it is no dying;
The death of death is Christ, for He
Prevents it from destroying,
That though it puts forth all its pow’r,
No hair it hurteth in the hour
When I from hence am taken.
The sting of death in sin doth lie,
And in our evil doing;
Poor child of Adam! eagerly
This path was I pursuing.
In Christ’s blood sin is wash’d away,
Forgiven are we now for aye,
Ne’er fall in condemnation.
My sin is gone, and I am clean,
Whoever would deprive me,
Henceforth is life eternal mine;
The thought may never grieve me
Of sin’s dread wages earn’d by me;
Who’s reconcil’d, must ever be,
Unhurt by opposition.
Now God’s free grace I with me take,
And all His joy and gladness,
On this last journey that I make,
And know no grief nor sadness.
The foe becomes to me a sheep,
His ire becomes a blessèd sleep,
Of quiet rest the pillow.
Thou Jesus! O thou sweetest Friend,
My light and life art ever!
Thou holdest me, dost me defend,
The foe can move Thee never.
In Thee I am, Thou art in me,
As we are here, we’ll ever be,
Nought here or there can part us.
My body down to rest doth lie,
Fatigued with life’s sad story;
The soul then mounteth up on high,
With chosen ones in glory
It mingles, and keeps joyfully,
The endless year of Jubilee
With all the holy angels.
Oh! Highest Prince of great and small,
May that bless’d day be nearing;
When Thou shalt by Thy trumpet call,
And all the dead be hearing.
Again shall soul and body be
One, and Thy joy shall taste and see,
Thy Father’s kingdom enter.
If ’tis Thy will, O Lord, appear,
To peace and bliss to take me
For ever, Thee may I be near,
How joyful would it make me!
Be open’d wide—of death, thou gate!
That to so bliss’d place and state
Through thee I may pass over.

The Little While I Linger Here
Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here
Should grief and fear o'ertake me?
No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear,
He never will forsake me.
He gave His life to save the herd,
And with His Spirit and His Word,
Is present with us always.
2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice,
I go where'er He beckons.
His own He knows, they are His choice,
Their numbers, too, He reckons.
And He will seek the straying sheep,
The feeble in His bosom keep,
And gently raise the fallen.
3 He strengthens me with living bread,
With waters sweet and gracious,
Which flow from life's great fountain-head,
With peace and joy most precious.
Though rough and thorny is my way,
If from His path I do not stray,
I shall not be discouraged.
4 O Thou who saidst, "Away from me
No one shall snatch them ever."
Thee I implore, to Thee I fee,
Ah leave, forsake me, never!
The world allures; oh, guide me through,
That with the blesséd I may view
thy Father's glorious mansions.
5 How vain the worldling's pomp and show,
How brief His joys and pleasures!
The night approaches now, and lo!
We leave all earthly treasures.
And then what is all earthly bliss
to that blest promise, Where He is
We shall be with Him also! Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, DU HÖCHSTES GUT

Why art thou weary, O my soul
Hast To The Plough Thou Put Thy Hand
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hast to the plough thou put thy hand,
Let not thy spirit waver.
Heed not the world’s allurements grand,
Nor pause for Sodom’s favor.
But plow thy furrow, sow God's seed
Though tares and thorns thy work impede;
For he who sows with weeping,
Shall soon with joy be reaping.
2 But should at times thy courage fail--
For even strength may falter--
Let not the tempting world prevail
On thee thy course to alter.
He that would win must forward go;
Retreat can bring thee naught but woe;
When foes bid thee defiance,
On God be thy reliance.
3 If to the course we faithful keep,
The race will soon be ended;
And death itself is but a sleep,
Its veil will soon be rended.
But those who conquer in the strife
Obtain the joy and crown of life
And shall in constant gladness
Forget these days of sadness.
4 Press onward then in Jesus' name,
Though thorns and rocks inclose thee;
Yea, forward though with sword and flame
The foe should here oppose thee.
Most precious is the victor's prize,
And open is God's paradise
Where God on Zion's mountain
Has opened wide life's fountain. Topics: Following Christ Used With Tune: [hast to the plough thou put thy hand]

Your Word, O Lord, Is Gentle Dew
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Carl B. Garve, 1763-1841 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your Word, O Lord, is gentle dew
To suff'ring hearts that want it;
Oh, shed your heav'nly balm anew,
To all your garden grant it;
Refreshed by you, may every tree
Bud forth and blossom gaily
And fruit and seed bring daily.
2 Your Word is like a flaming sword,
A sharp and mighty arrow,
A wedge that cleaves the rock; that Word
Can pierce through heart and marrow.
Oh, send it forth o'er all the earth,
To purge unrighteous leaven
And cleanse all hearts for heaven.
3 Your Word, a wondrous star, supplies
True guidance when we need it;
It points to Christ and so makes wise
All simple hearts that heed it;
Let not its light e'er sink in night,
But keep it brightly burning,
And fill our deepest yearning. Topics: The Word; Epiphany 5; The Word Used With Tune: AF HIMLENS
