Blessed are the meek and contrite

Hymnal: ELH1880 #442 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the meek and contrite, Who in Jesus fall asleep; Blessed where the saints forever Their untiring vigils keep; They are from their labors resting; God has wiped away their tears; They are dwelling in the kingdom, Free from all their sins and fears. 2 Blessed are they, saith the Spirit, They are free from toil and care; They the kingdom do inherit, That their Savior doth prepare; They are free from tribulation, And their robes are pure and white; They have safely crossed the river, And have reached the realms of light. 3 Blessed shall they be forever, Endless is their peaceful rest, And the works they have accomplished Of their Lord are richly blest: Blessed is the faithful witness They have borne unto their Lord, While they reap abounding harvests, Promised in His faithful Word.

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!

Hymnal: ELH1880 #443 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessèd 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 its cruel 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, The summons waiting from on high. 5 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But there is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep.

So fades the lovely, blooming flower

Hymnal: ELH1880 #444 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flower; Frail, smiling solace of an hour; So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. 2 Is there no kind, no healing art To soothe the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace, be ever nigh; Thy comforts are not made to die. 3 Let gentle patience smile on pain, Till dying hope revives again; Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

O Thou whose mercy guides my way

Hymnal: ELH1880 #445 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose mercy guides my way, Though now it seem severe, Forbid my unbelief to say, There is no mercy here! 2 O may I, Lord, desire the pain That comes in kindness down, Far more than sweetest earthly gain, Succeeded by Thy frown. 3 Then, though Thou bend my spirit low, Love only I shall see; The gracious hand that strikes the blow Was wounded once for me.

Heavenly Father, Thou hast given

Hymnal: ELH1880 #446 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, Thou hast given Us this child in holy trust, That we train it up for heaven, There to dwell among the just. 2 From all sin, O Christ, our Savior, Thou hast saved it through Thy blood; Gained for it the highest favor, Bought for it the highest good. 3 Nor withheldest Thou Thy favor, New-Creator of the heart, Who in the baptismal laver Didst new life and grace impart. 4 Fain would we have kept this token Of Thy tender love, kind Lord; And it is with hearts nigh broken That we part from our dear ward. 5 Though we loved it, as Thou knowest, Dearly though we love it still; Greater love, Lord, Thou bestows, And we bless Thy gracious will.

Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

Hymnal: ELH1880 #447 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled Now Thy little lamb’s last 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.

Mourn not ye, whose child hath found

Hymnal: ELH1880 #448 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Mourn not ye whose child hath found Purer skies and holier ground; Flowers of bright and pleasant hue, Free from thorns and fresh with dew. 2 Mourn not ye whose child hath fled From this region of the dead, To yon winged angel-band, To a better, fairer land. 3 Knowledge in that clime doth grow Free from weeds of toil and wo, Joys which mortals may not share; Mourn ye not, your child is there.

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Hymnal: ELH1880 #449 (1880) 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 bonds of Satan, 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, 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!

And must this body die?

Hymnal: ELH1880 #450 (1880) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 Corruption, earth, and worms, Shall but refine this flesh, Till my triumphant spirit comes To put it on afresh. 3 God, my Redeemer, lives, And ever, from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 4 Arrayed in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And every shape, and every face, Look heav'nly and divine. 5 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 6 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.

Shall man, O God of light and life

Hymnal: ELH1880 #451 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, Forever moulder in the grave? Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work, Thy promise and Thy power to save? 2 Shall life revisit dying worms, And spread the joyful insect's wing! And, oh! shall man awake no more To see Thy face, Thy name to sing? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heav'n with praise and wonder rung. 4 Him, the First--Fruits, His chosen sons Shall follow from the vanquished grave; He mounts His throne, the King of kings, His Church to quicken and to save. 5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold, to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake; And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise, And hail their Savior and their King.
