O what terror in thy forethought
Author: Peter Damian, d. 1072; John Mason Neale Meter: 8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 O what terror in thy forethought,
Ending scene of mortal life!
Heart is sickened, reins are loosened,
Thrills each nerve, with terror rife,
When the anxious heart depicteth
All the anguish of the strife!
2 Christ, unconquered King of glory!
Thou my wretched soul relieve
In that last extremest terror
When the body she must leave:
Let the Accuser of the brethren
O'er me then no power receive!
3 Let the Prince of darkness vanish,
And Gehenna's legions fly!
Shepherd, Thou Thy sheep, thus ransomed,
To Thy country lead on high,
Where for ever in fruition
I may see Thee eye to eye! Used With Tune: ST. PETER'S

The things of the earth in the earth let us lay
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 The things of the earth in the earth let us lay,
The ashes with ashes, the dust with the clay:
But lift up the heart, and the eye, and the love,
O lift up the soul to the regions above!
2 Since He, the Immortal, hath entered the gate,
So too shall we mortals, or sooner or late:
Then stand we on Christ; let us mark Him ascend,
For His is the glory and life without end.
3 On earth with His own ones, the Giver of good,
Bestowing His blessing, a little while stood:
Now nothing can part us, nor distance, nor foes,
For lo! He is with us, and who can oppose?
4 So, Lord, we commit this our brother to Thee,
Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free:
We know that thro' grace, when our life here is done,
We live still in Thee, and for ever in one.
5 All glory to Thee, Father, Spirit, and Son,
Who Three art in person, in substance but One,
In Whom we have victory over the grave,
Who lovest Thy people to pardon and save. Used With Tune: BISHOPTHORPE Text Sources: Greek

Christus, der ist mein Leben
Author: Simon Graf Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: Contemplation of Death and Eternity Lyrics: 1 Christus, der ist mein Leben,
Sterben ist mein Gewinn;
dem thu' ich mich ergeben,
mit Freud' fahr ich dahin.
2 Mit Freud' fahr ich von dannen
zu Christ dem Bruder mein,
daß ich mög' zu Ihm kommen
und ewig bei ihm sein.
3 Nun hab' ich überwunden
Creuz, Leiden, Angst und Noth,
durch sein' heilig' fünf Wunden
bin ich versöhnt mit Gott.
4 Wenn meine Kräfte brechen,
mein Athem geht schwer aus,
und kann kein Wort mehr sprechen,
Herr, nimm mein Seufzen auf.
5 Wenn mein Herz und Gedanken
vergehen wie ein Licht,
das hin und her thut wanken,
wenn ihm die Flamm gebricht:
6 Alsdann fein sanft und stille,
Herr, laß mich schlafen ein
nach Deinen Rath und Willen,
wenn kommt mein Stündelein.
7 Und laß mich an Dir kleben,
wie eine Klett' am Kleid,
und ewig bei Dir leben leben
in himmlischer Wonn' und Freud.
8 Amen, das wirst Du, Christe,
verleihen gnädiglich,
mit Deinem Geist mich rüste,
daß ich fahr' seiliglich.
