Abide with Me
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,676 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide!
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies:
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Hymn 17
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 159 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 First Line: O for an overcoming faith Lyrics:
O for an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o'er the monster Death,
And all his frightful powers!
Joyful with all the strength I have
My quiv'ring lips should sing-
Where is thy boasted vict'ry, Grave?
And where the monster's sting?
If sin be pardoned, I'm secure,
Death hath no sting beside;
The law gives sin its damning power;
But Christ, my ransom, died.
Now to the God of victory
Immortal thanks be paid,
Who makes us conquerors while we die,
Through Christ our living head.

Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands,
for our offenses given;
but now at God's right hand he stands
and brings us life from heaven.
Therefore let us joyful be,
and sing to God right thankfully
loud songs of alleluia!
Alleluia!
2 It was a strange and dreadful strife
when life and death contended.
The victory remained with life;
the reign of death was ended.
Holy Scripture plainly says
his death has swallowed up our death;
its sting is lost forever.
Alleluia!
3 Here the true paschal Lamb we see,
whom God so freely gave us.
He died on the accursed tree
so strong his love to save us.
See, his blood now marks our door;
faith points to it, death passes o'er,
and Satan cannot harm us.
Alleluia!
4 So let us keep the festival
to which the Lord invites us.
Christ is himself the joy of all,
the sun that warms and lights us.
Now his grace to us imparts
eternal sunshine to our hearts;
the night of sin is ended.
Alleluia!
5 Then let us feast this holy day
on Christ, the bread of heaven.
The Word of grace has purged away
the old and evil leaven.
Christ alone our souls will feed;
he is our meat and drink indeed;
faith lives upon no other!
Alleluia!

When in fierce and bloody strife
Met together death and life.

Now he lives, no more to die."

Empty tomb and angels seen
Where Christ's body once had been.

Makes his way to Galilee."

Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, O King of victory!
Hail, our Prince of life adored!
Show us mercy, gracious Lord.

In the bulb there is a flower
Author: Natalie Allyn Wakeley Sleeth (1930-1992) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody.
There's a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future,
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing:
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Change; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Spring; Winter Used With Tune: HYMN OF PROMISE

'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross, with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me.'

fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Lent; Discipleship Used With Tune: BRESLAU
