Earth to earth and dust to dust

Author: Anon. Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth to earth and dust to dust, Lord, we own the sentence just; Head and tongue, and hand and heart, All in guilt have borne their part; Righteous is the common doom, All must moulder in the tomb. 2 Like the seed in spring-time sown, Like the leaves in autumn strown, Low these goodly frames shall lie, All our pomp and glory die; Soon the spoiler seeks his prey, Soon he bears us all away. 3 Yet the seed, upraised, again Clothes with green the smiling plain; Onward as the seasons move, Leaves and blossoms deck the grove; And shall we forgotten lie, Lost forever when we die? 4 Lord, from nature's gloomy night Turn we to the gospel's light; Thou didst triumph o'er the grave, Thou wilt all thy people save; Ransomed by thy blood they rise, Mounting victors to the skies.

Pain and Toil are Over Now

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Pain and toil are over now; Bring the spice and being the myrrh; Fold the limb and bind the brow In the rich man's sepulchre; Far within the garden gloom, Leave him in his new-made tomb. 2. Sin has bruised the Victor's heel; Roll the stone and guard it well; Bring the Roman's dreaded seal; Bring his staunchest sentinel; Death and Hell shall hold their prey Only till tomorrow's ray. 3. Doubt ye how corruption cold Has not pow'r to chain its God, How the chill grave cannot hold Him beneath its silent sod, Prest with heavy measured tread? Thus you watch the buried dead. 4. We, till breaks the morning light, With an earnest purpose come, Watching all this solemn night By our Savior’s lowly tomb, Thinking we are buried too; We must live with him anew. 5. In the fresh baptismal tide, When our early walk was dim, When our evil nature died, We were buried deep with him; We must live like souls new-born, Eager for a brighter morn.

Wherefore Should I Make My Moan?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 34 hymnals First Line: Wherefore should I make my moan Lyrics: 1 Wherefore should I make my moan, Now the darling child is dead? He to early rest is gone, He to paradise is fled; I shall go to him, but he Never shall return to me. 2 God forbids his longer stay, God recalls the precious loan, God hath taken him away, From my bosom to His own; Surely what He wills is best, Happy in His will I rest. 3 Faith cries out, "It is the Lord! Let Him do as seems Him good"; Be Thy holy name adored, Take the gift awhile bestowed; Take the child, no longer mine, Thine he is, forever Thine.
