O world, I must now leave thee

Author: Johann Hesse; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #436 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 O world, I now must leave thee, But little doth it grieve me, I seek my native land; True life I there inherit, And here I yield my spirit With joy to God's all-gracious hand. 2 So on His Word relying, I know, while I am dying I seen shall see His face, Through Christ whose death hath bought me; The Father's love He brought me, And now prepares for me a place. 3 The grave hath lost its terrors, Since for my sins and errors, My Savior did atone: My works can nought avail me, But His work cannot fail me, I rest in faith on Him alone. 4 And so I hence am going In peace, full surely knowing That now I shall have rest: I feel death's icy finger; My soul here cannot linger, Nor would I stay--to go is best. 5 O world, I yet would teach thee That death will surely reach thee; Thou too must follow me; Then ere God's grace forsake thee, Repent! to Christ betake thee, That God have mercy too on thee.

Praise God, This Hour of Sorrow

Author: J. Heerman, 1585-1647; H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #475 (1996) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Praise God, this hour of sorrow Shall bring a brighter morrow: I go to Paradise. Dear Christian friends together, When round my grave you gather, Lay me to rest with songs of praise. 2 What better can befall me Than that the Lord doth call me From hence, where sin holds sway? Who is on earth a stranger Must ever be in danger, Till God hath closed life's fleeting day. 3 God takes His own from anguish And pain, in which they languish Within this vale of tears, And gives them to inherit The crown that Christ did merit: The joy of heav'n's eternal years. 4 On earth Christ was my treasure, And now I know but pleasure And gone is bitter woe; Believe, whate'er betideth, God's love in all abideth, And soon your tears shall cease to flow. 5 Our days the Lord appointeth, He woundeth and anointeth, He knoweth all things well. No evil He effected, No good He e'er neglected, And all His works His glory tell. 6 When ye shall see me nearing The throne of God, appearing Adorned and crowned bride, My palms of vict'ry swinging, 'Midst Alleluias ringing, I beauteous grace the Lamb beside: 7 Ye then shall rue the sadness That made you weep, and gladness E'er in your hearts shall reign. Who follows where God guideth, And takes what He provideth Shall know release from ev'ry pain. 8 Farewell, I now must leave you; The grief this day doth give you Soon others, too, shall bear. Be ye to God commended; In heav'n all woe is ended, And we shall meet in glory there. Topics: Death and Burial; Trinity 16 Languages: English Tune Title: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadow

Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #569 (1996) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadow The woodland, field, and meadow, The world in slumber lies. But thou, my heart, awake thee, To prayer and song betake thee; Let praise to thy Creator rise. 2 The radiant sun hath vanished, His golden rays are banished By night, the foe of day; But Christ, the Sun of gladness, Dispelling all my sadness, Within my heart holds constant sway. 3 The rule of day is over And shining jewels cover The heaven's boundless blue. Thus I shall shine in heaven, Where crowns of gold are given To all who faithful prove and true. 4 To rest my body hasteth, Aside its garments casteth, Types of mortality; These I put off and ponder How Christ will give me yonder A robe of glorious majesty. 5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me, O spread Thy wings above me And shield me from alarm! Though evil would assail me, Thy mercy will not fail me; I rest in Thy protecting arm. 6 My loved ones, rest securely, For God this night will surely From peril guard your heads. Sweet slumbers may He send you And bid His hosts attend you And through the night watch o'er your beds. Languages: English Tune Title: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN
