For me to live is Jesus
Author: Anna, Countess of Stolberg Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #30 (1886) Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus,
to die is gain for me;
to Him I gladly yield me,
and die right cheerfully.
2 From hence I go with gladness
To Christ, my Brother's side,
That I may soon be with Him,
And e'er with Him abide.
3 I have o'ercome life's crosses,
Grief, pain, and sorrow cease,
Through His five wounds most holy
With God I am at peace.
4 When all my powers are breaking,
My breath comes heavily,
Nor word more I can utter,
Lord, hear my sighs to Thee!
5 When reason, sense, and thinking
Fail, like a flickering light,
That to and fro doth waver,
Ere 'tis extinguished quite:
6 Then let me softly, gently,
Lord, fall asleep in Thee,
When by Thy will and counsel
My last hour comes to me.
7 As to the oak the ivy,
So let me cleave to Thee,
And live in heavenly glory
With Thee eternally.
8 Amen! this wilt Thou, Jesus,
Grant graciously to me.
Endow me with Thy Spirit,
That I fare happily. Topics: Death And Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: [For me to live is Jesus]

For Me to Live Is Jesus
Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #267 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus,
To die is gain for me;
So, when my Savior pleases,
I meet death willingly.
2 For Christ, my Lord, my brother,
I leave this world so dim
And gladly seek another,
Where I shall be with him.
3 My woes are nearly over,
Though long and dark the road;
His merits my sin cover,
And I have peace with God.
4 Lord, when my pow'rs are failing,
My breath comes heavily,
And words are unavailing,
Let my sighs plead for me.
5 In my last hour, oh, grant me
A slumber soft and still,
No doubts to vex or haunt me,
Safe anchored in your will;
6 This anchor of your making
Forever holding me,
I will, in heav'n awaking,
Sing heaven's melody. Topics: Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTUS, DER IST MEIN LEBEN
