Children of the Heavenly King

Author: John Cennick, 1718-1755 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,193 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King, As you journey, sweetly sing; Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways! 2 Ye are traveling home to God, In the way the fathers trod: They are happy now, and ye Soon their happiness shall see. 3 O ye banished seed be glad! Christ your Advocate is made; Us to save, our flesh assumes, Brother to our souls becomes. 4 Shout, ye little flock, and blest; You on Jesus' throne shall rest; There your seat is now prepared: There your kingdom and reward. 5 Lord, submissive make us go, Gladly leaving all below; Only Thou our leader be, And we still will follow Thee. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: HÄNDEL

My God, I Know that I Must die

Author: Benjamin Schmolck, 1672-1737 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, I know that I must die: My mortal life is passing hence; On earth I neither hope nor try To find a lasting residence. Then teach me by Thy heavenly grace With joy and peace my death to face. 2 My God, I know not when I die; What is the moment or the hour; How soon the clay may broken lie, How quickly pass away the flower: Then may Thy child preparéd be Through time to meet eternity. 3 My God, I know not how I die; For death has many ways to come, In dark mysterious agony, Or gently as a sleep to some. Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blesséd Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, beneath what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content, I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, Oh, bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love: Then comes it right and well to me, When, where, and how my death shall be.

From heaven Thou cam'st for our release, To purchase our eternal peace, By bitter death and suffering. 3 And Thou hast taught us in Thy Word That faith shall life inherit, For Thou art merciful, O Lord, And sav'st us by Thy merit, If we but simply do believe That all Thy children shall receive The blessings Thou hast promised. 4 Our brother Thou art now become-- An honor beyond measure! Thou wouldst our life with mercy crown, And give us richest treasure. The world's contempt we need not fear, God's Son is now our brother dear: What power can now destroy us? 5 All praise to Thee eternally, For all Thy gracious favor; We are God's children now with Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour! Well may we one and all rejoice, And praise our God with heart and voice; He is our gracious Father. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOTH SCHREI ICH ZU DIR
