O changeless Christ, for ever new

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #740 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Future hope Lyrics: 1 O changeless Christ, for ever new, who walked our earthly ways, still draw our hearts as once you drew the hearts of other days. 2 As once you spoke by plain and hill or taught by shore and sea, so be today our teacher still, O Christ of Galilee. 3 As wind and storm their Master heard and his command fulfilled, may troubled hearts receive your word, the tempest-tossed be stilled. 4 And as of old to all who prayed your healing hand was shown, so be your touch upon us laid, unseen but not unknown. 5 In broken bread, in wine outpoured, your new and living way proclaim to us, O risen Lord, O Christ of this our day. 6 O changeless Christ, till life is past your blessing still be given; then bring us home, to taste at last the timeless joys of heaven.

And must this body die?

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a450 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 Corruption, earth, and worms, Shall but refine this flesh, Till my triumphant spirit comes To put it on afresh. 3 God, my Redeemer, lives, And ever, from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 4 Arrayed in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And every shape, and every face, Look heav'nly and divine. 5 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 6 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.

And, oh! shall man awake no more To see Thy face, Thy name to sing? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heav'n with praise and wonder rung. 4 Him, the First--Fruits, His chosen sons Shall follow from the vanquished grave; He mounts His throne, the King of kings, His Church to quicken and to save. 5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold, to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake; And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise, And hail their Savior and their King.

Let thoughtless thousands choose the road

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a452 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely Thine. 2 On Christ, by faith, I fain would live, From Him, my life, my all receive; To Him devote my fleeting hours, Serve Him alone with all my powers. 3 Christ is my everlasting all; To Him I look, on Him I call; He will my ev'ry want supply, In time, and through eternity. 4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here; Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain; To live is Christ--to die is gain. 5 Soon will the saints in glory meet, Soon walk through ev'ry golden street, And sing on ev'ry blissful plain, To live is Christ, to die is gain.

There is a land of pure delight

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a453 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav’nly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And view the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

There is an hour of peaceful rest

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a454 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mourning wand’rers given; There is a joy for souls distressed, A balm for ev'ry wounded breast-- ’Tis found above--in heaven. 2 There is a soft, a downy bed, 'Tis fair as breath of even; A couch for weary mortals spread, Where they may rest the aching head, And find repose--in heaven. 3 There is a home for weary souls, By sin and sorrow driven; When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise and ocean rolls, And all is drear-- but heaven. 4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye, To brighter prospects given; And views the tempest passing by, The ev'ning shadows quickly fly, And all serene--in heaven. 5 There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom, And joys supreme are given; There, joys divine disperse the gloom: Beyond the confines of the tomb Appears the dawn of heaven.

Jesus, my Redeemer, lives

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a456 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives, Christ, my Trust, is dead no more; In the strength this knowledge gives, Shall not all my fears be o'er? Calm, though the death's long night be fraught Still with many an anxious thought? 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives, And His life I once shall see; Bright the hope the promise gives, Where He is I too shall be. Shall I fear then? Can the Head Rise and leave the members dead? 3 Close to Him my soul is bound! In the bonds of hope enclasped; Faith's strong hand this soul hath found, And the Rock hath firmly grasped; Death shall ne'er my soul remove From her refuge in Thy love. 4 I shall see Him with these eyes-- Him whom I shall surely know; Not another shall I rise, With His love this heart shall glow; Only there shall disappear Weakness in and round me here. 5 Ye who suffer, sigh, and moan, Fresh and glorious there shall reign; Earthly here the seed is sown, Heavenly it shall rise again; Natural here the death we die, Spiritual our life on high. 6 Body, be thou of good cheer, In thy Savior's care rejoice; Give not place to gloom and fear-- Dead, thou yet shalt know His voice, When the final trump is heard, And the deaf, cold grave is stirred. 7 Laugh to scorn then death and hell, Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave; Caught into the air to dwell With the Lord who comes to save, We shall trample on our foes, Mortal weakness, fear and woes. 8 Only see ye that your heart Rise betimes from earthly lust; Would ye there with Him have part, Here obey your Lord and trust, Fix your hearts beyond the skies, Whither ye yourselves would rise.
