My Father! cheering name!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #519 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My Father! cheering name! O may I call Thee mine! Give me with humble hope to claim A portion so divine. 2 Whate'er Thy will denies, I calmly would resign; For Thou art just, and good, and wise, O bend my will to Thine! 3 Whate'er Thy will ordains, O give me strength to bear; Still let me know a Father reigns, And trust a Father's care. 4 Thy ways are little known To my weak, erring sight; Yet shall my soul, believing, own That all Thy ways are right.

One sweetly solemn thought

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #531 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er,-- Nearer my home, to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before. 2 Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 3 Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. 4 But, lying darkly between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the silent, unknown stream That leads at last to light. E'en now, perchance, my feet Are slipping over the brink, For I, to-day, am nearer home,-- Nearer now than I think. 6 Father, perfect my trust; Strengthen my spirit's faith; Nor let me stand, at last alone Upon the shore of death.

It is not death to die

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #533 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die; To leave this weary road, And 'midst the brotherhood on high To be at home with God. 2 It is not death to close The eye long dimmed by tears, And wake, in glorious repose To spend eternal years. 3 It is not death to bear The wrench that sets us free From dungeon chain, to breathe the air Of boundless liberty. 4 It is not death to fling Aside this sinful dust, And rise, on strong exulting wing, To live among the just. 5 Jesus, Thou Prince of life! Thy chosen cannot die; Like Thee, they conquer in the strife, To reign with Thee on high. Topics: Death and Burial Languages: English

And must this body die

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #534 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And must this body die, This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mouldering in the clay? 2 God, my Redeemer lives, And ever from the skies Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 3 Arrayed in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And every shape, and every face, Look heavenly and divine. 4 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love: We would adore His grace below And sing His power above. 5 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.

Jesus! I live to Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #541 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I live to Thee, The loveliest and best; My life in Thee, Thy life in me, In Thy blest love I rest. 2 Jesus! I die to Thee, Whenever death shall come; To die in Thee is life to me In my eternal home. 3 Whether to live or die, I know not which is best; To live in Thee is bliss to me, To die is endless rest. 4 Living or dying, Lord, I ask but to be Thine; My life in Thee, Thy life in me, Makes heaven forever mine.

And will the Judge descend?

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #554 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend? And must the dead arise And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes? 2 And from His righteous lips Shall this dread sentence sound; And, through the numerous guilty throng, Spread black despair around? 3 "Depart from me accursed, To everlasting flame, For rebel angels first prepared, Where mercy never came." 4 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heaven, before His face Astonished shrink away? 5 But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound What joyful tidings spread! 6 Ye sinners, seek His grace Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross, And find salvation there.

"Forever with the Lord!"

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #567 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 "Forever with the Lord!" Amen! so let it be: Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near At times to faith's fore-seeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 "Forever with the Lord!" Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Jesus, priceless Treasure

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #82 (1918) Meter: 6.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest Friend to me! Long my heart hath panted, 'Till it well-nigh fainted, Thirsting after Thee! Thine I am, O spotless Lamb! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for naught beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me, Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here; Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear; Sin and hell, in conflict fell, With their heaviest storms assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; Death, I need not fly thee; Fear, I bid thee cease! Rage, O world, thy noises Cannot drown our voices Singing still of peace, For God's power guards every hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. 4 Wealth, I will not heed thee, Wherefore should I need thee? Jesus is my Joy! Honors, ye may glisten, But I will not listen, Ye the soul destroy! Want or loss or shame or cross Ne'er to leave my Lord shall move me, Since He deigns to love me. 5 Farewell, thou who choosest Earth, and heaven refusest, Thou wilt tempt in vain; Farewell, sins, nor blind me, Get ye far behind me, Come not forth again; Past your hour, O pomp and power; Godless life, thy bonds I sever, Farewell now forever! 6 Hence, all fears and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!
