Who knows how near my end may be?
Author: Emilie Juliana v. Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt; C. Winkworth Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #115 (1911) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1. WHO knows how near my end may be?
Time speeds away, and death comes on;
How swiftly, ah! how suddenly,
May death be here, and life be gone!
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
2. The world that smiled when morn was come
May change for me ere close of eve;
So long as earth is still my home
In peril of my death I live.
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
3. Teach me to ponder oft my end,
And ere the hour of death appears,
To cast my soul on Christ, her Friend,
Nor spare repentant cries and tears.
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
4. And let me now so order all,
That ever ready I may be
To say with joy, Whate’er befall,
Lord, do Thou as Thou wilt with me.
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
5. Let heav'n to me be ever sweet,
And this world bitter let me find,
That I, 'mid all its toil and heat,
May keep eternity in mind.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
6. Then death may come, or tarry yet,
I know in Christ I perish not,
He never will His own forget,
He gives me robes without a spot.
My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
7. And thus I live in God at peace,
And die without a thought of fear,
Content to take what God decrees,
For through His Son my faith is clear,
His grace shall be in death my stay,
And peace shall bless my dying day. Languages: English
Who knows how near my end may be?
Thee we adore, Eternal Name
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #539 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name,
And humbly own to Thee,
How feeble is our mortal frame,
What dying worms are we!
2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still,
As days and months increase;
And every beating pulse we tell
Leaves but the number less.
3 The year rolls round, and steals away
The breath that first it gave:
Whate'er we do, where'er we be,
We're travelling to the grave.
4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground,
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense,
To walk this dangerous road;
And if our souls are hurried hence
May they be found with God. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER
Thee we adore, Eternal Name

lying in darkness does its life retain,
in resurrection to grow green again:

When my last hour is close at hand
Author: Edgar Alfred Bowring; Nikolaus Hermann Hymnal: Church Book #547 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
My last sad journey taken,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand,
Let me not be forsaken.
O Lord, my spirit I resign
Into Thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within Thy keeping.
2 Countless as sands upon the shore,
My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me:
For as I draw my latest breath,
I'll think, Lord Christ! upon Thy Death,
And there find consolation.
3 I shall not in the grave remain,
Since Thou death's bonds hast severed;
But hope with Thee to rise again,
From fear of death delivered,
For where Thou art, there I shall be.
That I may ever live with Thee:
This is my joy in dying.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending,
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal. Languages: English Tune Title: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN VORHANDEN IST

Jesus Christ, my sure Defense
Author: Louise Henreitte v. Brandenbrugh; C. Winkworth Hymnal: Church Hymnal for Lutheran Services #113 (1911) Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1. JESUS Christ, my sure Defence
And my Saviour, ever liveth;
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope it giveth,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
2. Jesus, my Redeemer, lives!
I, too, unto life must waken;
Endless joy my Saviour gives;
Shall my courage, then, be shaken?
Shall I fear? or could the Head
Rise, and leave His members dead?
3. Nay, too closely am I bound
Unto Him by hope forever;
Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never;
Not the ban of death can part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4. I am only flesh and blood,
And on this corruption senzeth;
But I know my Lord and God
From the grave my body raiseth,
That with Him eternally
In His glory I may be.
5. Glorified I shall again
With this skin then be enshrouded,
In this body I shall then
See my God with eyes unclouded,
In this flesh I then shall see
Jesus Christ eternally.

Let Hope and Sorrow Now Unite
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #639 (1995) Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 Let hope and sorrow now unite
to consecrate life's ending,
and praise good friends now gone from sight,
though grief and loss are rending.
The story in a well-loved face
the years and days our thoughts retrace,
are treasures worth defending.
2 With faith, or doubt, or open mind
we whisper life's great question.
The ebb and flow of space and time
surpass our small perception.
Yet knowledge grows with joyful gains
and finds out wonders far more strange
than hopes of resurrection.
3 Be glad for life, in age or youth;
its worth is past conceiving.
And stand by justice, love, and truth
as patterns for believing.
Give thanks for all each person gives -
as faith comes true, and Jesus lives,
there'll be an end to grieving. Languages: English Tune Title: MIT FREUDEN ZART
