The saints of God! their conflict pass

Author: W. D. Maclagan Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #175b (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 The saints of God! their conflict past, And life's long battle won at last, No more they need the shield or sword, They cast them down before their Lord: O happy saints! forever blest, At Jesus' feet how safe you rest! 2 The saints of God! their wanderings done, No more their weary course they run, No more they faint, no more they fall, No foes oppress, no fears appall: O happy saints! forever blest, In that dear home how sweet your rest! 3 The saints of God! life's voyage o'er, Safe landed on that blissful shore, No stormy tempests now they dread, No roaring billows lift their head: O happy saints! forever blest, In that calm haven of your rest! 4 The saints of God their vigil keep, While yet their mortal bodies sleep, Till from the dust they too shall rise And soar triumphant to the skies: O happy saints! rejoice and sing; He quickly comes, your Lord and King! 5 O God of saints! to Thee we cry, O Saviour! plead for us on high; O Holy Ghost! our Guide and Friend, Grant us Thy grace till life shall end; That with all saints our rest may be In that bright Paradise with Thee! Amen. Tune Title: SAINTS OF GOD

Jesus lives! thy terrors now

Author: Christian F. Gellert; Frances E. Cox Hymnal: The Hymnal #176 (1916) Meter: 7.8.7.8.4 Topics: Burial of the Dead Lyrics: Jesus lives! thy terrors now Can no longer, death, appall us; Jesus lives! by this we know Thou, O grave, canst not enthrall us. Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of life immortal; This shall calm our trembling breath, When we pass its gloomy portal. Jesus lives! for us he died, Then, alone to Jesus living, Pure in heart may we abide, Glory to our Savior giving. Jesus lives! our hearts know well Naught from us his love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell Tear us from his keeping ever. Jesus lives! to him the throne Over all the world is given: May we go where he has gone, Rest and reign with him in heaven. Alleluia! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALBINUS

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: The Hymnal #222a (1916) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Topics: Burial of the Dead Lyrics: Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song would be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. There let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom

Author: John Henry Newman Hymnal: The Hymnal #244 (1916) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Topics: Burial of the Dead Lyrics: Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead thou me on! Keep thou my feet! I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead thou me on! I loved the garish day; and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LUX BENIGNA
