When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,093 hymnals Topics: Death of Christ, Burial, and Descent Into Hell Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them through His blood. 3 See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Now the laborer's task is o'er

Author: J. Ellerton Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Burial of the Dead; Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 Now the laborer's task is o'er; Now the battle day is past; Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 2 There the tears of earth are dried; There its hidden things are clear; There the work of life is tried By a juster Judge than here. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 3 There the penitents, that turn To the cross their dying eyes, All the love of Jesus learn At His feet in Paradise. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now thy servant sleeping. 4 There no more the powers of hell Can prevail to mar their peace; Christ the Lord shall guard them well, He Who died for their release. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 5 "Earth to earth, and dust to dust," Calmly now the words we say; Left behind, we wait in trust For the resurrection-day. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. Amen. Used With Tune: REQUIESCAT

Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

Author: Johann W. Meinhold; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Burial of the Dead For Children Lyrics: Tender Shepherd, thou hast stilled Now thy little lamb's brief weeping: Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping! And no sign of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. In this world of care and pain, Lord, thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny heavenly plain Thou dost now with joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with thee in light. Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Though thou take what most we love. Amen. Used With Tune: MEINHOLD
