God And Dig My Grave Today

Author: Ernst M. Arndt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10089 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: Go and dig my grave today! Lyrics: 1 Go and dig my grave today! Weary of my wanderings all, Now from earth I pass away, For the heavenly peace doth call; Angel voices from above Call me to their rest and love. 2 Go and dig my grave today! Homeward doth my journey tend, And I lay my staff away Here where all things earthly end, And I lay my weary head In the only painless bed. 3 What is there I yet should do, Lingering in this darksome vale? Proud and mighty, fair to view, Are our schemes, and yet they fail, Like the sand before the wind, That no power of man can bind. 4 Farewell, earth, then; I am glad That in peace I now depart, For thy very joys are sad, And thy hopes deceive the heart; Fleeting is thy beauty’s gleam, False and changing as a dream. 5 And to you a last good night, Sun and moon, and stars so dear; Farewell all your golden light; I am travelling far from here, To the splendors of that day Where ye all must fade away. 6 Farewell, O ye much-loved friends! Grief hath smote you as a sword, But the Comforter descends Unto them that love the Lord. Weep not o’er a passing show, To th’ eternal world I go. 7 Weep not that I take my leave Of the world; that I exchange Errors that too closely cleave, Shadows, empty ghosts that range Through this world of naught and night, For a land of truth and light. 8 Weep not, dearest to my heart, For I find my Savior near, And I know that I have part In the pains He suffered here, When He shed His sacred blood For the whole world’s highest good. 9 Weep not, my Redeemer lives; Heavenward springing from the dust, Clear-eyed Hope her comfort gives; Faith, Heaven’s champion, bids us trust; Love eternal whispers nigh, "Child of God, fear not to die!"

Lord, unnumbered sins are mine, But eternal love is Thine. 2 God, my Savior, look on me; All my guilt I cast on Thee! Give my troubled spirit peace; Bid my fears and sorrows cease. Lord, unnumbered sins are mine, But eternal love is Thine. 3 God, my comforter, my light, Strengthen me with holy might; Make Thy dwelling in my heart; Faith and joy and hope impart. Lord, unnumbered sins are mine, But eternal love is Thine. 4 Blessèd, glorious Trinity! Holy, everlasting Three! Hear, O hear my earnest prayer! And my soul for Heaven prepare! Lord, unnumbered sins are mine, But eternal love is Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: ARFON

Thou Didst Think Of Me

Author: Salathial C. Kirk Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10971 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: When Thou didst with pitying eye Lyrics: 1 When Thou didst with pitying eye Leave Thy Father’s throne on high— Leave a heavenly diadem For a crib in Bethlehem, Jesus, Thou didst think of me; Do I, do I think of Thee? 2 Blessing, helping everyone, Yet rejected by Thine own; Buffeted and spit upon, O, Thou blessèd Holy One, This, because Thou thought of me! Do I, do I think of Thee? 3 Praying in Gethsemane; Agonizing on the tree; When, with breaking heart, Thou cried "It is finished," bowed and died, Jesus, Thou didst think of me! Do I, do I think of Thee? 4 On His hands my name I see: In the grave He thinks of me, Vain, oh Calvary, Thy doom! Jesus rises from the tomb, Evermore to think of me; Jesus, I will think of Thee.
