Some Sweet Day
No, no, it is not dying
Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Death anticipation of Lyrics: 1 No, no, it is not dying,
To go unto our God;
This gloomy earth forsaking,
Our journey homeward taking
Along the starry road.
2 No, no, it is not dying,
Heaven's citizen to be;
A crown immortal wearing,
And rest unbroken sharing,
From care and conflict free.
3 No, no, it is not dying,
The Shepherd's voice to know:
His sheep he ever leadeth,
His peaceful flock He feedeth,
Where living pastures grow.
4 No, no it is not dying
To wear a lordly crown;
Among God's people dwelling,
The glorious triumph swelling
Of Him whose sway we own.
5 Oh, no, this is not dying,
The Saviour of mankind!
There streams of love are flowing,
No hindrance ever knowing;
Here only drops we find.
No, no, it is not dying
They come, God's messengers of love
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Death anticipation of Lyrics: 1 They come, God’s messengers of love,
They come from realms of peace above,
From homes of never-fading light,
From blissful mansions ever bright.
2 They come to watch around us here,
To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear;
And whisper to the faithful heart,
"O Christian soul, in peace depart."
3 Blest Jesus, Thou whose groans and tears
Have sanctified frail nature’s fears,
To earth in bitter sorrow weigh'd,
Thou didst not scorn Thine angel’s aid:
4 An angel guard to us supply,
When on the bed of death we lie:
And by Thine own almighty power,
Oh, shield us in the last dread hour.
They come, God's messengers of love
There is an hour when I must part
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Death anticipation of Lyrics: 1 There is an hour when I must part
From all I hold most dear;
And life, with its best hopes, will then
As nothingness appear.
2 There is an hour when I must sink
Beneath the stroke of death;
And yield to Him who gave it first,
My struggling vital breath.
3 There is an hour when I must stand
Before the judgment-seat;
And all my sins, and all my foes,
In awful vision meet.
4 There is an hour when I must look
On one Eternity;
And nameless woe, or blissful life,
My endless portion be.
5 O Saviour, then in all my need
Be near, be near to me!
And let my soul, by steadfast faith,
Find life and heaven in Thee.
There is an hour when I must part
Thee we adore, Eternal Name!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 372 hymnals Topics: Death anticipation of 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 are short'ning still,
As months and days increase;
And ev'ry beating pulse we tell
Leaves but the number less.
3 Great God! on what a slender thread
Hang everlasting things!
Th'eternal state of all the dead
Upon life's feeble strings.
4 Infinite joy, or endless woe
Attends on every breath;
And yet, how unconcern'd we go
Upon the brink of death!
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.
Thee we adore, Eternal Name!
When, rising from the bed of death
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: Death anticipation of Lyrics: 1 When, rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelm'd with guilt and fear,
I see my Maker face to face,
Oh, how shall I appear?
2 If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought:--
3 When Thou, O Lord! shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgment on my soul,
Oh, how shall I appear!
4 But there's forgiveness, Lord, with Thee;
Thy nature is benign:
Thy pard'ning mercy I implore
For mercy, Lord, is Thine.
5 Oh, let Thy boundless mercy shine
On my benighted soul!
Correct my passions, mend my heart,
And all my fears control.
6 And may I taste Thy richer grace,
In that decisive hour.
When Christ to judgment shall descend
And time shall be no more.
When, rising from the bed of death

If we trust in the word He has giv’n;
When our trials and toils, and our weepings are past,
We shall meet in that home up in heav’n. [Refrain]

With His hand He will lead you along;
And the way that is dark Christ will graciously clear,
And your mourning shall turn to a song. [Refrain]

Terrible thought! shall I alone
A pilgrim and a stranger
Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Blessedness future, anticipated Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger,
I journey here below:
Far distant is my country,
The home to which I go.
Here I must toil and travail,
Oft weary and opprest,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 There still my thoughts are dwelling,
'Tis there I long to be;
Come, Lord, and call thy servant
To blessedness with Thee!
Come, bid my toils be ended,
Let all my wanderings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To the sweet home of peace!
3 There I shall dwell forever,
No more a stranger guest,
With all thy blood-bought children,
In everlasting rest:
The pilgrim toils forgotten,
The pilgrim conflicts o'er,
All earthly griefs behind us,
Eternal joys before!
A pilgrim and a stranger
