We sing the praise of Him Who died
Ye Servants of Our Glorious King
Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ye servants of our glorious king,
To Him your thankful praises bring;
And tell the deeds that grace has done,
The triumphs by His martyrs won.
2. Since they were faithful to the last,
Their holy struggles now are past;
The bitterness of death is o’er,
And theirs is bliss forevermore.
3. The flame might scorch, the knife lay bare,
And cruel beasts their members tear;
No powers of earth, no powers of hell
The souls that loved their Lord could quell.
4. Forever broken is the chain
That sought to bind them, but in vain;
O let us strive like them to win
Our freedom from the bonds of sin.
5. O Savior, may our portion be
With those who gave themselves to Thee,
Through all eternity to sing
All praise to Thee, the martyrs’ king. Used With Tune: CONSTANCE (Gauntlett) Text Sources: Roman Breviary, 1632; Translated by Robert Campbell & the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861

How Blest the Righteous When he Dies
Author: Mrs. Anna Laetitia Barbauld, 1743-1808 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 467 hymnals First Line: How blest the righteous when he dies! Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies!
When sinks a weary soul to rest!
How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves th’expiring breast!
2 A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And naught disturbs that peace profound
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
3 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears,
Where lights and shades alternate dwell;
How bright the unchanging morn appears!
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell!
4 Life’s labor done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say,
"How blest the righteous when He dies!"
Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: CONSTANCE

Lord Jesus, Who, our souls to save
Author: Georg Werner; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Who, our souls to save,
Didst rest and slumber in the grave,
Now grant us all in Thee to rest,
And here to live as seems Thee best.
2 Give us the strength, the dauntless faith,
That Thou hast purchased with Thy death,
And lead us to that glorious place,
Where we shall see the Father's face.
3 O Lamb of God, Who once was slain,
We thank Thee for that bitter pain.
Let us partake Thy death, that we
May enter into Life with Thee.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Eve Used With Tune: CONSTANCE Text Sources: Based on a Latin Hymn, XIV Century
