My life is hid in Jesus

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #583 (1913) Lyrics: 1 My life is hid in Jesus, And death is gain to me; Then, whensoe'er He pleases, I meet it willingly. 2 For Christ, my Lord and brother, I leave this world so dim, And gladly seek that other, Where I shall be with Him. 3 My woes are nearly over, Though long and dark the road; My sin His merits cover, And I have peace with God. 4 Lord, when my powers are failing My breath comes heavily, And words are unavailing, O hear my sighs to Thee! 5 When mind, and thought, O Savior, Are flickering, like a light, That to and fro doth waver, Ere 'til extinguished quite; 6 In that last hour, O grant me To slumber soft and still, No doubts to vex or haunt me, Safe anchored on Thy will; 7 And so to Thee still cleaving Through all death's agony, To fall asleep believing, And wake in heaven with Thee. 8 Amen! Thou Christ, my Savior, Wilt grant this unto me: Thy Spirit lead me ever, That I fare happily.

Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light

Author: M. Behm Hymnal: LHPN1913 #584 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, my life, my light, My strength by day, my trust by night, On earth I’m but a passing guest, And sorely with my sins oppressed. 2 Far off I see my fatherland, Where through Thy grace I hope to stand. But ere I reach that paradise, A weary way before me lies. 3 My heart sinks at the journey’s length, My wasted flesh has little strength, Only my soul still cries in me, Lord, fetch me home, take me to Thee! 4 O let Thy sufferings give me power To meet the last and darkest hour; Thy cross the staff whereon I lean, My couch the grave where thou hast been. 5 Since Thou hast died, the pure, the just, I take my homeward way in trust, The gates of heaven, Lord, open wide, When here I may no more abide. 6 And when the last great day is come, And Thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom, Let me with joy behold the light, And set me then upon Thy right. 7 Renew this wasted flesh of mine, That like the sun it there may shine, Among the angels pure and bright, Yea, like Thyself in glorious light. 8 Ah, then I’ll have my heart’s desire, When singing with the angels’ choir, Among the ransomed of Thy grace, For ever I behold Thy face!

O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee!

Author: N. Selnecker Hymnal: LHPN1913 #585 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee! In my distress Thou helpest me. To Thee myself I now commend: O swiftly now Thine angel send To guide me home and cheer my heart, When Thou dost call me to depart. 2 O Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God, Once slain to take away our load; Now let Thy cross, Thine agony, Avail to save and solace me; Thy death to open heaven, and there Bid me the joy of angels share. 3 O Holy Spirit, at the end, Sweet Comforter, be Thou my friend; When death and hell assail me sore, Leave me, O leave me nevermore, But bear me safely through the strife, As Thou hast promised, into life!

My God, I know that I must die

Author: B. Schmolck Hymnal: LHPN1913 #586 (1913) 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, O 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.

Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God

Author: P. Eber Hymnal: LHPN1913 #587 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the tree, To bring Thy Father's grace for me: I pray Thee, through that bitter woe; Let me, a sinner, mercy know. 2 When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death. When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear: 3 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus! come with speed, And help me in my hour of need; Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death. 4 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me life, of Thy rich grace! I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death; Firm resting on Thy sacred word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

Go and let my grave be made

Author: E. M. Arndt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #588 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Go and let my grave be made-- Tired and weary now with straying, Farewell to the earth I've said, Heaven's call to peace obeying: Calls me now the happy rest Of the angels eve blest. 2 Therefore, earth, farewell I say, False the hopes from thee we borrow! Let me now in peace away-- E'en thy very joy is sorrow; Fleeting is thy beauty's glow, Vain deceit and empty show! 3 Fare ye well, beloved friends! Ye whose tears so fast are flowing; God for all will make amends, For our griefs are His bestowing: Mourn not joys that ne'er endure, Heavenly joys alone are sure. 4 Weep not--lo! my Savior there, Mercy to my soul revealing; I, too, have obtained a share In His heart's deep wounds so healing, Whence the holy fountain streamed Which this sinful world redeemed. 5 Weep not--my Redeemer lives-- High above dark earth ascending, Hope her heavenly comfort gives; Faith stands by, her shield extending; Love eternal whispers near, "Child of God, no longer fear."

From place to place the Christian goes

Author: N. L. von Zinzendorf Hymnal: LHPN1913 #589 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From place to place the Christian goes, By many a tempest driven, At last the haven of repose He safely finds in heaven. God, after life's alarms, Receives him in His arms. He dies, as in the mold the grain, To yield its golden fruit again. 2 And sure thy parting has been blessed, Bless'd be thy life's example! Thou spirit, calmly gone to rest, And thou, its mouldering temple. O soul, thy Savior's near! The morning star shines clear; And you, ye members, softly sleep Beneath love's shadow still and deep. 3 We wait with glad and patient hope The glorious revelation, While He this pilgrim dress folds up In holy preservation. O happy souls who rest In Jesus' arms and breast. Love leads us all our path aright, Through such a depth to such a height.

Blessed are the heirs of heaven

Author: F. G. Klopstock Hymnal: LHPN1913 #590 (1913) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the heirs of heaven, The dead, who die in Christ forgiven, They from their labors have release; Saith the Spirit: they are resting. No sting of death is them molesting, For they have found the home of peace; In peace they sweetly rest, Forever they are blest, Hallelujah! Before God's throne to His dear Son Do follow them their works well done. 2 Glory, honor and thanksgiving, Be unto God the ever-living, And to the Lamb for sinners slain! Ransomed host that now victorious Have won the crown of life all glorious, Extol the Lamb, enthroned to reign! For us Himself He gave, He sank into the grave, He is risen! He went before, death's pathway o'er, We follow to the heavenly shore. 3 Sun nor moon their light are casting Where God in glory everlasting Dispels the gloomy shades of night; Now the wished-for day appeareth, O blessed sight, our souls it cheereth, The Lamb is now our sun and light! No more we weep or moan, The former things are gone, Hallelujah! Death's shades now flee, we rise to see The dayspring of eternity.

Life's day is ended

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: LHPN1913 #591 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Life's day is ended, The battle fought and won; With joy unblended I greet the set of sun. My soul, now rest thee Forever, tired of earth; At last divest thee Of buckler, shield, and girth: Arise, and hast thee To heavenly glories forth. 2 My pathway, leading Through realms of tears and pain, I see receding, And ne'er shall tread again. Life's stern endeavor, That set my soul aglow, So that I never A moment's rest did know, Shall cease forever, And God the prize bestow. 3 My shield remaineth, The warfare now is o'er; My heart maintaineth Its trust in God secure. I hard contended For faith both day and night; The foe intended To break its saving might, But now hath ended That tempter's losing fight. 4 Hence Christ in heaven Did me a crown prepare, Which shall be given not only me to wear, But whomsoever, The lowliest and the best, Who doth endeavor To serve his Savior blest, And so forever Shall be his worthy guest. 5 Now, world, I leave thee, And bid a last farewell, Content, believe me, Hence in the grave to dwell. Let flesh that faileth Return again to clay, Where woe prevaileth, With trials day by day, What now assaileth I meet without dismay. 6 All praise and honor, Now and forevermore, Be our Atoner, That for us death He bore; Him, bleeding, dying, Who kept me at His right, When days were trying, I hold before my sight; In His wounds lying At rest, I bid good night.

It is not death to die

Author: H. A. César Malan Hymnal: LHPN1913 #592 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die-- To leave this weary road, And, 'midst the brotherhood on high, To be at home with God. 2 It is not death to close The eye long dimmed with tears, And wake in glorious repose To spend eternal years. 3 It is not death to bear The wrench that sets us free From dungeon chain, to breathe the air Of boundless liberty. 4 It is not death to fling Aside this sinful dust, And rise, on strong exulting wing, To live among the just. 5 Jesus, Thou Prince of life, Thy chosen cannot die: Like Thee, they conquer in the strife, To reign with Thee on high.
