And must this body die?
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #450 (1880) 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. Languages: English

And must this body die?
Shall man, O God of light and life
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #451 (1880) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life,
Forever moulder in the grave?
Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work,
Thy promise and Thy power to save?
2 Shall life revisit dying worms,
And spread the joyful insect's wing!
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. Languages: English

Shall man, O God of light and life
Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #452 (1880) 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. Languages: English

Let thoughtless thousands chose the road
There is a land of pure delight
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #453 (1880) 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. Languages: English

There is a land of pure delight
There is an hour of peaceful rest
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #454 (1880) 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. Languages: English
