Gently, Lord, O Gently Lead Us

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 483 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Gently, Lord, O gently lead us Thro' this lonely vale of tears; Thro' the changes Thou'st decreed us, Till our last great change appears: When temptation's darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let Thy goodness never fail us; Lead us in Thy perfect way. 2. In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish, Suffer not our souls to fear: And, when mortal life is ended, Bid us in Thine arms to rest; Till by angel-bands attended, We awake among the blest.

We Shall Sleep, but not Forever

Author: Mrs. Mary Ann Kidder Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with chorus Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part--no never, On the resurrection morn! From the deepest caves of ocean, From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless throngs shall rise again. Chorus: We shall sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part-- no never, On the resurrection morn! 2 When we see a precious blossom That we tended with such care Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair! Round its little grave we linger, Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. [Chorus] 3 We shall sleep, but not forever, In the lone and silent grave: Blesséd be the Lord that taketh, Blesséd be the Lord that gave. In the bright, eternal city, Death can never, never come! In His own good time He’ll call us From our rest to home, sweet home. [Chorus] Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: WE SHALL SLEEP, BUT NOT FOREVER
