Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb

Hymnal: BW1870 #555 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb, Take this new treasure to thy trust, And give these sacred relics room, To slumber in the silent dust. 2 Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear Invades thy bounds--no mortal woes Can reach the peaceful sleeper here, And angels watch his soft repose. 3 So Jesus slept, God's dying Son Pass'd through the grave, and bless'd the bed; Rest here, blest saint, till from His throne The morning break, and pierce the shade. 4 Break from His throne, illustrious morn, Attend, O earth, His sovereign word; Restore thy trust--a glorious form Shall then arise to meet the Lord.

Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding

Hymnal: BW1870 #556 (1870) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O’er the spoils that death has won, We would at this solemn meeting, Calmly say--Thy will be done. 2 Though cast down, we’re not forsaken, Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give, and Thou hast taken; Blessèd Lord--Thy will be done. 3 Though to-day we’re filled with mourning, Mercy still is on the throne; With Thy smiles of love returning, We can sing--Thy will be done. 4 By Thy hands the boon was given, Thou hast taken but Thine own: Lord of earth, and God of heaven, Evermore--Thy will be done.

The things of the earth in the earth let us lay

Hymnal: BW1870 #557 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 The things of the earth in the earth let us lay, The ashes with ashes, the dust with the clay; But lift up the heart, and the eye, and the love, Oh, lift up the soul to the regions above. 2 Since He, the Immortal, hath entered the gate, So, too, shall we mortals, or sooner or late; Then stand we on Christ; let us mark Him ascend, For His is the glory and life without end. 3 On earth with His own ones, the Giver of good, Bestowing His blessing, a little while stood: Now nothing can part us, nor distance, nor foes, For lo! He is with us, and who can oppose? 4 So, Lord, we commit this our brother to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free; We know that through grace, when our life here is done, We live still in Thee, and forever in one. 5 All glory to Thee, Father, Spirit, and Son, Who three art in person, in substance but one, In whom we have victory over the grave, Who lovest Thy people to pardon and save.

Why do we mourn departing friends?

Hymnal: BW1870 #558 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends? Or shake at death’s alarms? ’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. 2 Are we not tending upward too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, His light dispel'd its gloom. 4 The graves of all His saints He bless'd, And soften'd every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And show'd our feet the way; Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly, At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake, ye nations under ground; Ye saints, ascend the skies.

Why should we weep for those who die

Hymnal: BW1870 #559 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Why should we weep for those who die, Those blesséd ones who weep no more? Jesus hath call'd them to the sky, And gladly have they gone before. 2 A few short days they linger'd here, Th'appointed span of trial knew; Dropp'd--early dropp'd the parting tear, And early now have parted too. 3 Up, up, in swift ascent, they rise Star after star of living light! Why should we mourn that midnight skies Become with added glories bright? 4 Far in the distant heavens they shine, But still with borrow'd lustre glow; Saviour, the beams are only Thine, Of saints above, or saints below. 5 For them no bitter tear we shed-- Their night of pain and grief is o'er-- But weep our lonely path to tread, And see the forms we loved, no more.

Asleep in Jesus! blesséd sleep

Hymnal: BW1870 #560 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blesséd sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturb'd repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2 Asleep in Jesus! oh, how sweet, To be for such a slumber meet; With holy confidence to sing That Death has lost his venom'd sting. 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely :; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Saviour's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be: Securely shall my ashes lie, And wait the summons from on high. 5 Asleep in Jesus! time nor space Affects this precious hiding-place: On Indian plains or Lapland snows Believers find the same repose. 6 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be: But there is still a blesséd sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep.

Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast still'd

Hymnal: BW1870 #561 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast still'd Now Thy little lamb’s long weeping; Ah, how peaceful, pale and mild, In its narrow bed ’tis sleeping! And no sigh of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. 2 In this world of care and pain, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it: To the sunny, heavenly plain Dost Thou now in joy receive it. Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving. Then the gain of death we'll prove, Though Thou take what most we love. Topics: Burial; Death; Death Of a Child; Grave Languages: English

Hark! a voice divides the sky

Hymnal: BW1870 #562 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Hark! a voice divides the sky; Happy are the faithful dead, In the Lord who sweetly die; They from all their toils are freed. 2 Them the Spirit hath declared Blest, unutterably blest; Jesus is their great reward, Jesus is their endless rest. 3 Follow'd by their works, they go Where their Head has gone before; Reconciled by grace below, Grace has open'd mercy’s door. 4 Justified through faith alone, Here they knew their sins forgiven; Here they laid their burden down, Hallow'd and made meet for heaven. 5 When from flesh the spirit freed Hastens homeward to return, Mortals cry,"A man is dead!" Angels sing, "A child is born!" Topics: Burial; Death Languages: English

O Shepherd of the sheep

Hymnal: BW1870 #563 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Shepherd of the sheep, High-Priest of things to come, Who didst in grace Thy servant keep, And take him safely home; 2 Accept our song of praise For all his holy care, His zeal unquench'd, through length of days, The trials that he bare. 3 On all our Pastors pour The Spirit of Thy grace; That, as he won the palm of yore, So they may run their race: 4 That, when this life is done, They may with him adore The ever blesséd Three in One In bliss forevermore.

What sinners value, I resign

Hymnal: BW1870 #564 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What sinners value, I resign: Lord! 'tis enough that Thou art mine! I shall behold Thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness. 2 This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there? 3 O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God; And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. 4 My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour's image rise.
