Take comfort, Christians, when your friends

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take comfort, Christians, when your friends in Jesus fall asleep; their better being never ends; why then dejected weep? 2 Why inconsolable, as those to whom no hope is giv’n? Death is the messenger of peace, and calls the soul to heav’n. 3 As Jesus dy'd, and rose again victorious from the dead; so his disciples rise, and reign with their triumphant Head. 4 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds Christ shall with shouts descend, and the last trumpet’s awful voice the heavens and earth shall rend. 5 Then they who live shall changed be, and they who sleep shall wake; the graves shall yield their ancient charge, and earth’s foundations shake. 6 The saints of God, from death set free, with joy shall mount on high; the heav’nly hosts with praises loud shall meet them in the sky, 7 Together to their Father’s house with joyful hearts they go; and dwell for ever with the Lord, beyond the reach of woe. 8 A few short years of evil past, we reach the happy shore, where death-divided friends at last shall meet, to part no more. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Used With Tune: BALLERMA

We sing the praise of Him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died, of Him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope though all deride, for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; He bears our sins upon the tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away: it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup; 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light: 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.

Once He died, our souls to save; where's your victory, boasting grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ has led, following our exalted head; made like Him, like Him we rise; ours the cross, the grave, the skies: hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to You by both be given; every knee to You shall bow, risen Christ, triumphant now! Used With Tune: ST GEORGE'S WINDSOR Text Sources: Adapt: Compilers of Praise!, 2000
