I Know Of A Sleep In Jesus' Name
Author: M. B. Landstad Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #250 (1927) Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name,
A rest from all toil and sorrow;
Earth folds in her arms my weary frame,
And shelters it till the morrow;
My soul is at home with God in heaven,
Her sorrows are past and over.
2 I know of a peaceful eventide;
And when I am faint and weary,
At times with the journey sorely tried,
Thro' hours that are long and dreary;
Then often I yearn to lay me down,
And sink into blissful slumber.
3 I know of a morning bright and fair,
When tidings of joy shall wake us,
When songs from on high shall fill the air,
And God to His glory take us,
When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep;
How joyous that hour of awaking!
4 Now opens the Father's house above,
The names of the blest are given:
Lord, gather us there; let none we love
Be missed in the joys of heaven.
Vouchsafe Thou us all a place with Thee;
We ask thro' our dear Redeemer.
5 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed,
And take me into Thy keeping,
And say when my spirit hence is fled:
"This child is not dead, but sleeping."
And leave me not, Savior, till I rise,
To praise Thee in life eternal.

Author: Magnus Brostrup Landstad; K. A. Kasberg; O. H. Smeby; C. Doving Hymnal: The Concordia Hymnal #331 (1933) Languages: English Tune Title: O DAY FULL OF GRACE
I know of a sleep in Jesus' name
O day full of grace, which we behold
Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; Anon. Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #379 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 O day full of grace, which we behold,
Now gently to view ascending;
Thou over the earth thy reign unfold,
Good cheer to all mortals lending,
That children of light in every clime
May prove that the night is ending.
2 How blest was that gracious midnight hour,
When God in our flesh was given;
Then flushéd the dawn with light and power,
that spread o'er the darkened heaven;
Then rose o'er the world that Sun divine
Which gloom from our hearts hath driven.
3 Yes, were every tree endowed with speech,
And every leaflet singing,
They never with praise His worth could reach,
Though earth with their praise were ringing.
Who fully could praise the Light of life
Who light to our souls is bringing?
4 As birds in the morning sing God's praise,
His fatherly love we cherish,
For giving to us this day of grace,
For life that shall never perish.
His Church He hath kept these thousand years,
And hungering souls did nourish.
5 Pass on thy close, O Whit-Sunday,
With sunlight about thee beaming,
And scatter thy blessings on thy way,
As brooks through the meadows streaming
E'er leave in their wake the woods and fields
In beauty and fruitfulness dreaming.
6 With joy we depart for our fatherland,
Where God our Father is dwelling,
Where ready for us His mansions stand,
Where heaven with praise is swelling;
And there we shall walk in endless light,
With blest ones His praise forth telling. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost Tune Title: [O day full of grace, which we behold]

Author: M. B. Landstad Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #506 (1913) Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name,

Earth folds in her arms my weary frame,
And shelters it till the morrow;
My soul is at home with God in heaven,
Her sorrows are past and over.
2 I know of a peaceful eventide;
And when I am faint and weary,

When tidings of joy shall wake us,
When songs of from on high shall fill the air,
And God to His glory take us,
When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep--
How joyous that hour of awaking!
4 O that is a morning dear to me,
And oft, o'er the mountains streaming,
In spirit its heavenly light I see,
As golden the peaks are beaming;
Then sing I for joy like birds at dawn
That carol in lofty lindens.
5 God's Son to our graves then wends His way,
His voice hear all tribes and nations;
The portals are rent that guard our clay,
And moved are the sea's foundations.
He calls out aloud: "Ye dead, come forth!"
In glory we rise to meet Him.
6 Now opens the Father's house above,
The names of the blest are given:
Lord, gather us there; let none we love
Be missed in the joys of heaven.
Vouchsafe Thou us all a place with Thee;
We ask through our dear Redeemer.
7 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed,
And take me into Thy keeping,
And say when my spirit hence is fled;
"This child is not dead, but sleeping."
And leave me not, Savior, till I rise,
To praise Thee in life eternal. Topics: The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity; Resurrection Tune Title: [I know of a sleep in Jesus' name]
