O love that wilt not let me go
Author: George Matheson, 1842-1906 Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 675 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 O love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
that in thine ocean depths its flow
may richer, fuller be.
2 O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
my heart restores its borrowed ray,
that in thy sunshine's blaze its day
may brighter, fairer be.
3 O joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.
4 O cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Scripture: Genesis 9:12-16 Used With Tune: ST MARGARET

Author: Anna Laetitia Waring, 1820-1910 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 564 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
no change my heart shall fear;
and safe is such confiding,
for nothing changes here:
the storm may roar without me,
my heart may low be laid;
but God is round about me,
and can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
no want shall turn me back;
my Shepherd is beside me,
and nothing can I lack:
his wisdom ever waketh,
his sight is never dim,
he knows the way he taketh,
and I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
which yet I have not seen;
bright skies will soon be o'er me,
where darkest clouds have been;
my hope I cannot measure,
my path to life is free;
my Saviour has my treasure,
and he will walk with me.

to thee our morning hymns ascended,
thy praise shall sanctify our rest.

while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
and rests not now by day or night.

the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
our brethren 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.

like earth's proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
till all thy creatures own thy sway. Scripture: 2 Samuel 7:13 Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT

Rock of ages, cleft for me
Author: A. M. Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,900 hymnals Topics: Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure:
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfil thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone:
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through tracts unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne;
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:10 Used With Tune: PETRA
Rock of ages, cleft for me
