O Lord, Now Let Thy Servant

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden Hymnal: HOoS1926 #590 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart with heav'nly peace, For I have seen the glory Of Thy redeeming grace: A Light to lead the Gentiles Unto Thy holy hill, The glory of Thy people, Thy chosen Israel. 2 How blessèd is the vision E'en here of Thy great love, But still my spirit yearneth To see Thy face above, Where in Thy holy image I, too, shall join the throng Of ransomed souls in glory, And sing the Lamb's new song. 3 Then grant that I may follow Thy gleam, O glorious Light, Till earthly shadows scatter, And faith is changed to sight; Till raptured saints shall gather Upon that shining shore, Where Christ, the blessèd Daystar, Shall light them evermore.

Sunset and Evening Star

Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #591 (1926) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Amen. Topics: Last Things: Death and Burial; Names and Office of Christ Pilot Languages: English Tune Title: CROSSING THE BAR

A Few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HOoS1926 #592 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! Amen. Topics: Last Things: Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: CHALVEY

My God, I Know That I Must Die

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Mrs. Sarah (Borthwick) Findlater Hymnal: HOoS1926 #593 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 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 heav'nly 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 in many ways doth 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, upon 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, O bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love: Then all is right and well with me, When, where, and how my death shall be.
