Now lay we calmly in the grave

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal #449 (1880) 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 #467 (1880) 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
