Hark! the sound of holy voices, chanting at the crystal sea
Now the laborer's task is o'er
Author: John Ellerton Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Death 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 ransomed souls, that turn
To the Cross their dying eyes,
All the love of Christ shall learn
At His feet in Paradise.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
4 "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.
5 Laid in ocean's quiet bed,
Calmly now the words we say,
"Till the sea gives up her dead;"
Till the Resurrection-day.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
Amen. Used With Tune: HEBRON
Now the laborer's task is o'er
Our God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,258 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Death Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home!
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Soon bears us all away;
They fly, forgotten as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home!
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
Our God, our help in ages past
O what their joy and their glory must be
Author: Rev. John Mason Neale; Pierre Abelard (1079-1142) Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see;
Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be All, and in all ever blest.
2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
"Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son;
In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
Amen. Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA
O what their joy and their glory must be
Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep
Author: Margaret Mackay Appears in 1,087 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Death Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep!
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet;
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost his venomed sting.
3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
4 Asleep in Jesus! O, for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
Waiting the summons from on high.
Amen. Used With Tune: REST
Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep
The world is very evil
Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil,
The times are waxing late;
Be sober and keep vigil;
The Judge is at the gate;
The Judge that comes in mercy,
The Judge that comes with might,
That comes to end the evil,
That comes to crown the right.
2 Arise, arise, good Christian,
Let right to wrong succeed;
Let penitential sorrow
To heavenly gladness lead;
To light that hath no evening,
That knows no moon nor sun,
The light so new and golden,
The light that is but one.
3 And when the Sole-Begotten
Shall render up once more
The kingdom to the Father
Whose own it was before,
Then glory yet unheard of
Shall shed abroad its ray,
Resolving all enigmas,
And endless Sabbath-day.
Amen. Used With Tune: CRÜGER
