He Sleeps in Jesus
Behold how sweet, how calm, how fair
Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #918 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Behold how sweet, how calm, how fair,
The broken bud that slumbers there!
E'er it had bloomed on earth, to die,
It died on earth to bloom on high.
2 Weep not as those who weep in vain,
Nor like the hopeless ones complain;
Our frosted buds, our withered flowers,
Shall spring again in fairer bowers.
3 O blessed hope to mourners given
The hope of union sweet in heaven!
No more to part, no more to weep,
No more to sleep death's silent sleep.
4 Then let this hope our spirits cheer:
The promised morn will soon appear,
The morn that sets the prisoners free,
The morning of eternity. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: RUSSELL
Behold how sweet, how calm, how fair
The morning flowers display their sweets
Author: Samuel Wesley, Jr. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #919 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The morning flowers display their sweets,
And gay their silken leaves unfold,
As careless of the noontide heats,
As fearless of the evening cold.
2 Nipped by the wind's unkindly blast,
Parched by the sun's directer ray.
The momentary glories waste,
The short-lived beauties die away.
3 So blooms the human face divine
When youth its pride of beauty shows;
Fairer than spring the colors shine,
And sweeter than the virgin rose.
4 Or worn by slowly rolling years,
Or broke by sickness in a day,
The fading glory disappears,
The short-lived beauties die away.
5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb,
With luster brighter far shall shine,
Revive with ever-during bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
6 Let sickness blast, let death devour,
If heaven but recompense our pains;
Perish the grass, and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remains. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: RUSSELL
The morning flowers display their sweets
He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest
Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #920 (1886) Lyrics: 1 He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest,
No mortal strife invades his breast;
No pain, nor sin, nor woe, nor care,
Can reach the silent slumberer there.
2 He lives, his Saviour to adore,
And meekly all his sufferings bore:
He loved, and all resigned to God;
Nor murmured at his chastening rod.
3 Does earth attract thee here? they cried;
The dying Christian thus replied,
While pointing upward to the sky,
"My treasure is laid up on high."
4 He sleeps in Jesus soon to rise,
When the last trump shall rend the skies;
Then burst the fetters of the tomb,
To wake in full, immortal bloom.
5 He sleeps in Jesus cease thy grief;
Let this afford thee sweet relief
That, freed from death's triumphant reign,
In heaven he will live again. Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: RUSSELL
He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest
