Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep

Author: Margaret Mackay Hymnal: LHPN1913 #593 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep: A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2 Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet; With holy confidence to sing That death hath lost his venomed sting! 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest: No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Savior's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! O for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie, And wait the summons from on high.

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Author: M. Weisse Hymnal: LHPN1913 #594 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Now lay we calmly in the grave This form, whereof no doubt we have That it shall rise again that day In glorious triumph o'er decay. 2 And so to earth again we trust What came from dust, and turns to dust, And from the dust shall surely rise When the last trumpet fills the skies. 3 His soul is living now in God, Whose grace his pardon hath bestowed, Who through His Son redeemed him here From bondage unto sin and fear. 4 His trials and his griefs are past; A blesséd end is his at last; He bore Christ's yoke, and did His will, And though he died he liveth still. 5 He lives where none can mourn and weep, And calmly shall this body sleep Till God shall death himself destroy And raise it into glorious joy. 6 He suffered pain and grief below; Christ heals him now from all his woe; For him hath endless joy begun; He shines in glory like the sun. 7 Then let us leave him to his rest, And homeward turn, for he is blest, And we must well our souls prepare, When death shall come, to meet him there. 8 So help us, Christ, our hope in loss; Thou hast redeemed us by Thy cross From endless death and misery; We praise, we bless, we worship Thee.

Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow

Author: A.C. Prudentius; P. Hegelund Hymnal: LHPN1913 #595 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow, But hope from God's promises borrow; Beware, in thy sorrow, of sinning, For death is of life the beginning. 2 The body is shrouded in mourning; The garlands, the casket adorning, Are emblems of hope that betoken, O death, that thy power is broken. 3 A dearly beloved one hath left us; God hath in His wisdom bereft us; But He will not leave us forsaken,-- We know that the dead shall awaken. 4 When dawneth the glorious morrow, This body, that we view with sorrow, A glorified form shall be given, Restored to its spirit in heaven. 5 The seed that in springtime is planted, Is hid in the ground; but, if granted A measure of sunshine and showers, Will spring into fruitage and flowers. 6 A gift to the churchyard we tender, As dust to the dust we surrender; Returning the clay to its Maker, We lay it to rest in God's acre. 7 A soul in that body abided, A soul that in Jesus confided, A soul that hath longed for salvation, And now hath found hope's consumation. 8 O earth, we consign to thy keeping This body with sorrow and weeping; In peace to await resurrection, When it shall arise in perfection. 9 O Christ, our souls' Maker and Lover; When time and earth's travail are over, Thou closest the grave's mournful story And callest Thine own to Thy glory.

O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!

Author: S. Dach Hymnal: LHPN1913 #596 (1913) Meter: 10.10.5.10 Lyrics: 1 O how blest are ye whose toils are ended! Who, through death, have unto God ascended! Ye have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 We are still as in a dungeon living, Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving; Our undertakings Are but toils and troubles and heart-breakings. 3 Ye, meanwhile, are in your chambers sleeping, Quiet, and set free from all our weeping; No cross nor sadness There can hinder your untroubled gladness. 4 Christ has wiped away your tears forever; Ye have that for which we still endeavor. To you are chanted Songs which yet no mortal ears were granted. 5 Ah! who would then not depart with gladness, To inherit heaven for earthly sadness? Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 6 Come, O Christ, and loose the chains that bind us! Lead us forth, and cast this world behind us! With Thee, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed.

The sands of time are sinking

Author: Annie R. Cousin Hymnal: LHPN1913 #597 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.4 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks, The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn awakes. O dark hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams of earth I've tasted; More deep I'll drink above. There, to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time He wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred with His love: I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned When throned where glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 4 The bride eyes not her garment, But her dear bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory, But on my King of grace; Not at the crown He giveth, But on His piercèd hand; The Lamb is all the glory Of Immanuel's land.

Sleep thy last sleep

Author: E. A. Dayman Hymnal: LHPN1913 #598 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Sleep thy last sleep, Free from care and sorrow; Rest, where none weep, Till th'eternal morrow; Though dark waves roll O'er the silent river, Thy fainting soul Jesus can deliver. 2 Life's dream is past, All its sin and sadness; Brightly at last Dawns a day of gladness: Under the sod, Earth, receive our treasure, To rest in God, Waiting all His pleasure. 3 Though we may mourn Those in life the dearest, They shall return, Christ, when Thou appearest: Soon shall Thy voice Comfort those now weeping, Bidding rejoice All in Jesus sleeping.

Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

Author: J. W. Meinhold Hymnal: LHPN1913 #599 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled Now Thy little lamb's brief 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 pain and care, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To Thy heavenly meadows fair Lovingly thou dost receive it. Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 O Lord Jesus, grant that we Where may live where it is living, And the blissful pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Though Thou take what most we love.

Praise God, this hour of sorrow

Author: H. A. Brorson; J. Heerman Hymnal: LHPN1913 #600 (1913) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Praise God, this hour of sorrow Shall bring a brighter morrow: I go to Paradise. My mother dear and father, When round my grave you gather, Lay me to rest with songs of praise. 2 What better can befall me Than that the Lord doth call me From hence, where sin holds sway? Who is on earth a stranger Must ever be in danger, Till God hath closed life's fleeting day. 3 God takes His own from anguish And pain, in which they languish Within this vale of tears, And gives them to inherit The crown that Christ did merit: The joy of heaven's eternal years. 4 I was on earth your treasure; And now I know but pleasure Ye weep in bitter woe; Believe, whate'er betideth, God's love in all abideth, And soon your tears shall cease to flow. 5 Our days the Lord appointeth, He woundeth and anointeth, He knoweth all things well. No evil He effected, No good He e'er neglected, And all His works His glory tell. 6 When ye shall see me nearing The throne of God, appearing Adorned and crowned a bride, My palms of victory swinging, 'Midst Hallelujahs ringing, In beauteous grace the Lamb beside: 7 Ye both shall rue the sadness That made you weep, and gladness E'er in your hearts shall reign. Who follows where God guideth, And takes what He provideth Shall know surcease from all his pain. 8 Farewell, I now must leave you; The grief this day doth give you Soon others, too, shall bear. Be ye to God commended; In heaven all woe is ended, And we shall meet in glory there.

Day of wrath! that day of mourning!

Author: Thomas of Celano Hymnal: LHPN1913 #601 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! O day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophets' warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth. 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth; Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth; All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo! the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded! Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesus! my salvation Cost Thy wondrous incarnation, Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me: Shall such grace in vain be brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman savedst; Thou the dying thief forgavest; And to me a hope vouchsafest. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With thy favored sheep O place me! Nor among the goats abase me; But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Bows my heart in meek submission, Strews with ashes of contrition; Help me in my last condition. 18 Ah, that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning Man for judgment must prepare him; 19 Spare, O God, in mercy spare him! Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest, Grant them Thine eternal rest!

Rejoice, rejoice, believers

Author: L. Laurenti Hymnal: LHPN1913 #602 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh; Up, pray, and watch and wrestle; At midnight comes the cry! 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With Hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Their cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Their diadems of gold! 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee!
