Author: Clara M. Brooks Hymnal: Timeless Truths #110 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "Lo, *she is not dead, but sleeping"&#8212 Refrain First Line: Only sleeping, sweetly sleeping Lyrics: 1 “Lo, *she is not dead, but sleeping”— Thus the blessed Master spake— Why are all these tears of weeping? We shall in His likeness wake. Refrain: Only sleeping, sweetly sleeping, While the angels vigil keep; Jesus gives to His beloved Rest at last in peaceful sleep. 2 Just asleep, *her soul immortal, Dwelling now beyond life’s woes, Finds from care and pain and sorrow Sweet and undisturbed repose. [Refrain] 3 As a dream when one awaketh, As a tale when it is told; Thus its flight the spirit taketh, Dust returns to earthly mold. [Refrain] 4 Like the pearly drops of morning Soaring upward toward the sun, Thus our spirits are returning To their Maker, one by one. [Refrain] 5 Death no dreaded sting containeth, For the soul, in Jesus blest, O’er the grave a vict’ry gaineth— He who finds this heav’nly rest. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 8:52 Tune Title: [Lo, she is not dead, but sleeping]

Clara McAlister Brooks

1882 - 1980 Person Name: Clara M. Brooks Author of "Not Dead, but Sleeping" in Timeless Truths Birth: Oct. 9, 1882, Parke County, Indiana, USA Death: Mar. 20, 1980, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, USA Clara McAlister Brooks was one of our early songwriters and four of her pieces are in the current hymnal. From the earliest days of the movement we have had women prominent in all forms of our ministry—missionaries, evangelists, teachers, pastors, and God has honored their sacrificial labors. For that reason we can stand in amazement when here, in the 1970s, such old-line denominations as the Episcopal church are being racked with controversy over whether the ordination of women is permissible. But before we gather Pharisaic robes about ourselves, perhaps we need to look candidly at the way in which we, too, succumbed to some of the cultural and prejudicial patterns of later decades! --www.whwomenclergy.org/articles/
