The Christian’s Burial

Author: J. H. Bancroft Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #405 (1866) First Line: Brother, though from yonder sky Lyrics: Brother, though from yonder sky Cometh neither voice nor cry, Yet we know for thee to-day Every pain hath passed away. Not for thee shall tears be given, Child of God, and heir of heaven; For he gave thee sweet release; Thine the Christian’s death of peace. Well we know thy living faith Had the power to conquer death; As a living rose may bloom By the border of the tomb. Brother, in that solemn trust, We commend thy dust to dust; In that faith we wait, till, risen, Thou shalt meet us all in heaven. While we weep as Jesus wept, Thou shalt sleep as Jesus slept; Then with Jesus thou shalt rest, Crowned, and glorified, and blest. Languages: English
