So fades the lovely, blooming flow'r

Author: Anna Steele Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flow'r; Frail, smiling solace of an hour; So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. 2 Is there no kind, no healing art To soothe the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace, be ever nigh; Thy comforts are not made to die. 3 Let gentle patience smile on pain, Till dying hope revives again; Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me

Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Lord, as Thou wilt deal Thou with me, No other wish I cherish; In life and death I cling to Thee, O Lord, let me not perish! Let but Thy grace ne'er from me part, Else as thou wilt, grant patient heart: Thy will the best is ever. 2 Grant honor, truth, and self-control, And love the Word to ponder; From doctrines false preserve my soul: And grant both here and yonder What will conduce to blessed days; Keep far all wrong and crooked ways From all my life and doings. 3 When I, according to Thy will, Shall leave this vale of sadness, O let Thy grace my bosom fill, That I may go with gladness; My spirit I commend to Thee, O Lord, a blessed end give me Through Jesus Christ! Yea, Amen.

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay, What were His works from day to day, But miracles of power and grace, Which spread salvation through our race? 2 Teach us, O Lord, to keep in view Thy pattern, and Thy steps pursue: Let alms bestowed, let kindness done, Be witnessed by each rolling sun. 3 That man may last, but never lives, Who much receives, but nothing gives: Whom none can love, whom none can thank, Creation's blot, creation's blank. 4 But he who marks from day to day In gen'rous acts his radiant way, The same path treads the Savior trod, The path to glory and to God.

Jesus, my Redeemer, lives

Appears in 21 hymnals 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.

Commit thy way, confiding

Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Commit thy way, confiding, When trials here arise, To Him whose hand is guiding The tumults of the skies. There clouds and tempests, raging, Have each their path assigned; Will God, for thee engaging, No way of safety find? 2 Trust in the Lord! His favor Will for thy wants provide; Regard His word!--and ever Thy work shall safe abide. When sorrows here o'ertake thee, And self-inflicted care, Let not thy God forsake thee! He listens for thy prayer. 3 Should Satan league his forces, God's purpose to withstand, Think not their rage and curses Can stay His lifted hand! When He makes known His pleasure, The counsel of His will, That, in its utmost measure, Will He at last fulfill. 4 Hope on them, weak believer, Hope on, and falter not! He will thy soul deliver From deeps of troubled thought. Thy graces will He nourish, With hope thy heart employ, Till faith and hope shall flourish And yield their fruits of joy. 5 Well blest, His grace receiving, God owns thee for a son! With joy, and with thanksgiving, Behold the victor's crown! Thy hand the palm-branch raises,-- God gives it thee to bear;-- Then sing aloud His praises, Who has removed thy care. 6 The sorrows, Lord, that try us, O bring them to an end! With needed strength supply us! Thy love to us commend! That we, till death pursuing Thy best, Thy chosen way, May then, our life renewing, Praise Thee in endless day.

Christian, seek not yet repose

Appears in 208 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Christian, seek not yet repose, Cast thy dreams of ease away, Thou art in the midst of foes, Therefore watch and pray. 2 Gird thy heavenly armor on, Wear it ever, night and day; Near thee lurks the evil one, Therefore watch and pray. 3 Listen to the sorrowing Lord, Him thou loves to obey; It is He who speaks the Word, Therefore watch and pray. 4 'Twas in watching and in prayer, Holy men of olden day Won the palms and crowns they wear; Therefore watch and pray. 5 Watch, for Thou Thy guard must keep; Pray, for God must speed thy way; Narrow is the road and steep, Therefore watch and pray.

In God, my faithful God

Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 In God, my faithful God, I trust when dark my road; Though many woes o’ertake me, Yet He will not forsake me; His love it is doth send them, And when ’tis best will end them. 2 My sins assail me sore, But I despair no more; I build on Christ who loves me, From this Rock nothing moves me, Since I can all surrender To Him, my soul’s Defender. 3 If death my portion be, Then death is gain to me, And Christ my Life for ever, From whom death cannot sever; Come when it may, He’ll shield me, To Him I'll wholly yield me. 4 'So be it,' then I say, With all my heart each day; Guide us while here we wander, Till safely landed yonder, We too, dear Lord, adore Thee, And sing for joy before Thee.
