I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds

Author: Dr. P. Eber Hymnal: HELC1886 #31 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds, there pardon for my sin abounds; Yea, Jesus' blood and righteousness my jewels are, my glorious dress, wherein before my God I stand, when I shall reach the heavenly land. 2 With peace and joy I now depart, God's child I am with all my heart; I thank thee, death, thou leadest me To that true life where I would be. So cleansed by Christ I fear not death. Lord Jesus, strengthen Thou my faith! Topics: Death And Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: [I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds]

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Author: M. Weiss; Dr. M. Luther Hymnal: HELC1886 #32 (1886) 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 forever lives 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 blessed 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 do 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, For death may seize us everywhere. 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! Topics: Death And Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: [Now lay we calmly in the grave]

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Author: J. M. Meyfart Hymnal: HELC1886 #33 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly, It will not stay with me; far over vale and mountain, far over field and plain, it hastes to seek its Fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her, with guidance tender, To heaven, her fatherland. 3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, Elijah's chariot bears her up to thee, Through all these lower skies, To yonder shining regions, While down, to meet her, come The blessed angel legions, And bid her welcome home. 4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 5 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host, Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me, As in the far off years Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. 6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true, Who bore the cross, and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do, I see them shine forever, All-glorious as the sun, 'Mid light that fadeth never, Their perfect freedom won. 7 And when within that lovely Paradise And last I safely dwell, From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise, What joy my lips shall tell, While holy saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure Hallelujah's ringing Around me evermore! 8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.
