Jesus I Will Never Leave

Life from Him doth light receive-- Jesus I will never leave. 2 Jesus I will never leave While on earth I am abiding; What I have to Him I give, In all cares in Him confiding. Naught shall me of Him bereave-- Jesus I will never leave. 3 Though my sight shall pass away, Hearing, taste, and feeling fail me; Though my life's last light of day Shall o'ertake and sore assail me; When His summons I receive, Jesus I will never leave. 4 Nor will I my Jesus leave When at last I shall come thither Where His saints He will receive, Where is bliss they live together. Endless joy to me He'll give-- Jesus I will never leave. 5 Nor for earth's vain joys I crave Nor, without Him, heaven's pleasure; Jesus, who my soul did save, Evermore shall be my Treasure. He redemption did achieve-- Jesus I will never leave. Topics: Easter 2 Used With Tune: MEINEN JESUM LASS ICH NICHT Text Sources: Tr. composite

Though you deem He hears you not, Still your wants are ne'er forgot; Cry to Him when storms assail you, Let your courage never fail you. 3 Call on God, knock, seek, implore Him, 'Tis the Christian's noblest skill; He who comes with faith before Him Meets with help and favor still: Who on God most firmly rest Are the wisest and the best; God will with such strength inbue them, Ne'er shall any foe subdue them. 4 Learn to mark God's wondrous dealing With the people that He loves; When His chast'ning hand they're feeling, Then their faith the strongest proves. God is nigh, and notes their tears, Though He answers not, He hears; Pray with faith, for though He try you, No good thing can God deny you. 5 Ponder all God's truth can teach you, Let His word your footsteps guide; Satan's wiles shall never reach you, Though he draw the world aside. Lo! God's truth is thy defense, Light, and hope, and confidence: Trust in God, He'll not deceive you, Pray, and all your foes will leave you.

I Know of a Sleep in Jesus' Name

Author: M. B. Landstad, 1802-80 Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth folds in her arms my weary frame And shelters it till the morrow. My soul is at home with God in heav'n; Her sorrows are past and over. 2 I know of a peaceful eventide; And when I am faint and weary, At times with the journey sorely tried, Through hours that are long and dreary, Then often I yearn to lay me down And sink into blissful slumber. 3 I know of a morning bright and fair When tidings of joy shall wake us, When songs from on high shall fill the air And God to His glory take us, When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of waking! 4 O that is a morning dear to me, And oft, o'er the mountains streaming, In spirit its heav'nly light I see As golden the peaks are beaming. Then sing I for joy like birds at dawn That carol in lofty lindens. 5 God's Son to our graves then takes His way, His voice hear all tribes and nations; The portals are rent that guard our clay, And moved are the sea's foundations. He calls out aloud: "Ye dead, come forth!" In glory we rise to meet Him. 6 Now opens the Father's house above, The names of the blest are given: Lord, gather us there; let none we love Be missed in the joys of heaven. Vouchsafe Thou us all a place with Thee; We ask through our dear Redeemer. 7 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed And take me into Thy keeping And say when my spirit hence is fled, "This child is not dead, but sleeping." And leave me not, Savior, till I rise To praise Thee in life eternal. Topics: Death: A Sleep; Trinity 24 Used With Tune: DEN SIGNEDE DAG Text Sources: The Lutheran Hymnal, 1913 (tr.)
