The morning flowers display their sweets
Author: Samuel Wesley, Jr. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #919 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 The morning flowers display their sweets,
And gay their silken leaves unfold,
As careless of the noontide heats,
As fearless of the evening cold.
2 Nipped by the wind's unkindly blast,
Parched by the sun's directer ray.
The momentary glories waste,
The short-lived beauties die away.
3 So blooms the human face divine
When youth its pride of beauty shows;
Fairer than spring the colors shine,
And sweeter than the virgin rose.
4 Or worn by slowly rolling years,
Or broke by sickness in a day,
The fading glory disappears,
The short-lived beauties die away.
5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb,
With luster brighter far shall shine,
Revive with ever-during bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
6 Let sickness blast, let death devour,
If heaven but recompense our pains;
Perish the grass, and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remains. Tune Title: RUSSELL
The morning flowers display their sweets
He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest
Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #920 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest,
No mortal strife invades his breast;
No pain, nor sin, nor woe, nor care,
Can reach the silent slumberer there.
2 He lives, his Saviour to adore,
And meekly all his sufferings bore:
He loved, and all resigned to God;
Nor murmured at his chastening rod.
3 Does earth attract thee here? they cried;
The dying Christian thus replied,
While pointing upward to the sky,
"My treasure is laid up on high."
4 He sleeps in Jesus soon to rise,
When the last trump shall rend the skies;
Then burst the fetters of the tomb,
To wake in full, immortal bloom.
5 He sleeps in Jesus cease thy grief;
Let this afford thee sweet relief
That, freed from death's triumphant reign,
In heaven he will live again. Tune Title: RUSSELL
He sleeps in Jesus, peaceful rest
Thus one by one our loved ones go
Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #921 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Thus one by one our loved ones go,
From year to year, from snow to snow;
The buds of springtime hardly bloom
Ere winter plucks them for the tomb.
2 The sweetest songsters soonest fly,
The fondest hopes the soonest die,
And harps but once to gladness strung
Are on the weeping-willows hung.
3 How much of grief, how little joy,
How little gold, how much alloy,
How many doubts, how many fears
Ye bring us, O ye passing years.
4 Though sorrow dims our vision here,
Faith points beyond this mortal sphere,
Where tears of anguish never flow,
Where pain and death none ever know.
Tune Title: OSBORNE
Thus one by one our loved ones go
Shall man, O God of light and life
Author: Timothy Dwight Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #927 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life,
Forever molder in the grave?
Canst thou forget thy glorious work.
Thy promise, and thy power to save?
2 In those dark realms of night and gloom
Shall peace and hope no more arise?
No future morning light the tomb,
Nor day-star gild the darksome skies?
3 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears!
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprang,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heaven with praise and wonder rang.
4 Faith sees the bright eternal doors
Unfold to make his children way;
They shall be clothed with endless life,
And shine in everlasting day. Tune Title: MALVERN
Shall man, O God of light and life
Though love may weep with breaking heart
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #931 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Though love may weep with breaking heart,
There comes, O Christ, a day of thine!
There is a morning star must shine,
And all those shadows shall depart.
2 Though faith may droop and tremble here,
That day of light shall surely come;
His path will lead him safely home;
When twilight breaks, the dawn is near.
3 Though hope seem now to hope in vain,
And Death, seem king of all below,
There yet shall come the morning glow,
And wake our slumbers once again. Tune Title: BARNES
Though love may weep with breaking heart
Jesus made known the path of light
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #934 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Jesus made known the path of light,
Which righteous men shall tread;
He showed the way, the truth, the life,
In rising from the dead.
2 Then let these fleshly yearnings cease,
Let joy our hearts expand;
Death is to them a peaceful sleep
Who keep their Lord's command.
3 This sleeping dust ere long shall rise,
And these dead bones awake,
When Christ in glory rends the skies,
And all the kingdoms shake. Tune Title: NAOMI
Jesus made known the path of light
Great God, I own thy sentence just
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #937 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Great God, I own thy sentence just,
And nature must decay;
I yield my body to the dust,
To dwell with fellow clay.
2 Yet faith may triumph o'er the grave,
And trample on the tombs;
My great Redeemer ever lives,
My God, my Saviour, comes.
3 The mighty conqueror shall appear,
High on a royal seat;
And death, the last of all our foes,
Lie vanquished at his feet.
4 Then shall I see thy lovely face
With strong, immortal eyes,
And feast upon thy wondrous grace
With pleasure and surprise.
Tune Title: CHINA
Great God, I own thy sentence just
Behold the western evening light!
Author: William B. O. Peabody Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #938 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light!
It melts in deepening gloom;
So calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
2 The winds breathe low, the yellow leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree;
So gently flows the parting breath
When good men cease to be.
3 How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast!
So sweet the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their last.
4 And lo! above the dews of night
The vesper star appears;
So faith lights up the mourner's heart,
Whose eyes are dim with tears.
5 Night falls, but soon the morning light
Its glories shall restore;
And thus the eyes that sleep in death,
Shall wake to close no more. Tune Title: CHINA
Behold the western evening light!
How peaceful is the grave!
Author: R. Blair Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #951 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 How peaceful is the grave!
Where, life's vain tumult past,
Th' appointed house, by Heaven's decree,
Receives us all at last.
2 There earthly troubles cease,
There passions rage no more,
And there the weary pilgrim rests
From all the toils he bore.
3 There all, both small and great,
Partake the same repose;
And there in peace the ashes mix
Of those who once were foes.
4 All, by the hand of death,
Partake a common tomb;
Yet saints shall not forever sleep
Not theirs the sinner's doom. Tune Title: THOUGHT
How peaceful is the grave!
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #959 (1886) Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding,
O'er the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting,
Calmly say, "Thy will be done."
2 Though cast down, we're not forsaken;
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give, and thou hast taken;
Blessed Lord, thy will be done.
3 Though to-day we're filled with mourning,
Mercy still is on the throne;
With thy smiles of love returning,
We can sing, "Thy will be done."
4 By thy hands the boon was given,
Thou hast taken but thine own:
Lord of earth, and God of heaven,
Evermore thy will be done. Tune Title: FERN DELL
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
