I thank Thee, Savior! for the grief

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a425 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: I thank Thee, Savior! for the grief, Thy goodness bids me bear, And for each word of sweet relief, That saves me from despair. 2 I see but dimly all Thy ways, Nor may each purpose tell, But this I know to wake my praise: Thou doest all things well. 3 The way of life is by the cross, The glowing fires along, Which serve to purge away the dross And make the spirit strong. 4 To me, O Lord! Thy grace impart Each trial to abide, And ever let my bleeding heart Cling to Thy bleeding side. Languages: English

I know full well death must befall me

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a431 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 I know full well death must befall me; I know not when, or where, or how: It may be that my God will call me To-day, to-morrow, even now; Ere yet this present hour is fled, This living body may be dead. 2 I know, --God hath this knowledge given-- To me death is not death, indeed; To me death is a gate to heaven, A bound and end of all my need, A gentle evening, peaceful, blest, When I have passed from toil to rest. 3 Lord, let my soul, with unfeigned gladness, In living faith Thy call await To leave its cave of sin and sadness, And this vain world for heaven's estate; O keep my heart prepared alway, To lay aside this mortal clay. 4 Lord, grant that, by contrition riven, My heart I daily offer Thee, And let me close this life for heaven, Sealed by Thy death and agony: O let Thy death, with passion rife, My comfort be, my balm and life. 5 Lord, daily let me die then, ever; And at the last stand Thou by me, That death may not from Thee sever, But bring me nearer unto Thee! Then welcome my last hour shall be, When, where, and how it pleaseth Thee. Languages: English

O world, I must now leave thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a436 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 O world, I now must leave thee, But little doth it grieve me, I seek my native land; True life I there inherit, And here I yield my spirit With joy to God's all-gracious hand. 2 So on His Word relying, I know, while I am dying I soon shall see His face, Through Christ whose death hath bought me; The Father's love He brought me, And now prepares for me a place. 3 The grave hath lost its terrors, Since for my sins and errors, My Savior did atone: My works can nought avail me, But His work cannot fail me, I rest in faith on Him alone. 4 And so I hence am going In peace, full surely knowing That now I shall have rest: I feel death's icy finger; My soul here cannot linger, Nor would I stay--to go is best. 5 O world, I yet would teach thee That death will surely reach thee; Thou too must follow me; Then ere God's grace forsake thee, Repent! to Christ betake thee, That God have mercy too on thee.

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a439 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 0 Lord, my God, I cry to Thee, In my distress Thou helpest me; To Thee myself I all commend, O swiftly now Thine angel send, To guide me home and cheer my heart, Since Thou dost call me to depart. 2 0 Jesus Christ, Thou Lamb of God, Once slain to take away our load, Now let Thy cross, Thine agony, Avail to save and solace me, Thy death to open heav'n, and there Bid me the joy of angels share. 3 0 Holy Spirit, at the end, Sweet comforter, be Thou my Friend; When death and hell assail me sore, Leave me, O leave me nevermore, But bear me safely through the strife, As Thou hast promised, into life.

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a449 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Now lay we calmly in the grave This form, whereof no doubt we have That it shall rise again that day, In glorious triumph o'er decay. 2 And so to earth again we trust What came from dust, and turns to dust, And from the dust shall surely rise When the last trumpet fills the skies. 3 His soul is living now in God, Whose grace his pardon hath bestowed, Who through His Son redeemed him here From bonds of Satan, sin, and fear. 4 His trials and his griefs are past; A blessed end is his at last; He bore Christ's yoke and did His will, And though he died he liveth still. 5 He lives where none do mourn and weep, And calmly shall this body sleep, Till God shall death himself destroy, And raise it into glorious joy. 6 He suffered pain and grief below, Christ heals him now from all his woe; For him hath endless joy begun; He shines in glory like the sun. 7 Then let us leave him to his rest, And homeward turn, for he is blest; And we must well our souls prepare, When death shall come, to meet him there. 8 So help us, Christ, our Hope in loss; Thou hast redeemed us by Thy cross From endless death and misery; We praise, we bless, we worship Thee!

Jerusalem the golden!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a467 (1895) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden! With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare! 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, and all the martyr-throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene. The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 Jerusalem the golden, Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and pleasant city, Shall I e'er win thy grace? I have the hope within me To comfort and to bless; Shall I e'er win the prize itself? O my Redeemer, yes! Languages: English

Praise thou the Lord, the omnipotent Monarch of Glory

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #361 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Praise thou the Lord, the omnipotent Monarch of Glory; Join in, my soul, with the heavenly choir in their story; Come and partake; Psalt'ry and harp also wake: Sing the Creator's great glory! 2 Praise thou the Lord, who e'er ruleth and guideth all surely; Over life's pathway, so fearful, He leads thee securely; Ever He sends Mercies and blessings and friends; Then from thy heart thank Him truly. 3 Praise thou the Lord, who hath fearfully, wondrously made thee, Health has vouchsafed, and when heedlessly falling hath stayed thee; Fainting and weak, When not a word thou couldst speak, Wings of His mercy did shade thee. 4 Praise thou the Lord, who thy life hath so visibly guided, Streams of free grace, in His Son, for thy sin hath provided; Plain to thy view, God, the Almighty and True, Ne'er from His child is divided. 5 Praise thou the Lord, and forget all His benefits never; Swell the loud chorus, ye chosen, till broad as a river Upward it stream; Soul, O forget not this theme: Praise Him, O praise Him forever.

Sing praise to God who reigns above

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #365 (1880) Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation; With healing balm my soul He fills, And every pain and sorrow stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom which could span, And power which formed, Creation's plan: To God all praise and glory! 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning dawn or evening shade, His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth; Within the kingdom of His might, Lo, all is just and all is right: To God all praise and glory! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Savior saw my helplessness And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God, I say, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 When every earthly hope has flown From sorrow's sons and daughters, Our Father from His heavenly throne, Beholds the troubled waters; And at His Word the storm is stayed, Which made His children's heart afraid; To God all praise and glory! 6 Thus all my pilgrimage along I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises: Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part: To God all praise and glory! Languages: English

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #369 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived from whom those comforts flowed. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But oh! eternity's too short to utter all Thy praise.
