Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep

Author: Margaret Mackay Hymnal: HRGC1892 #244c (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2 Asleep in Jesus! Oh, how sweet To be for such a slumber meet; With holy confidence to sing That death hath lost its painful sting. 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Saviour's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! Oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie, Waiting the summons from on high. 5 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But there is still a blessèd sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep. Amen. Topics: Burial of the Dead Languages: English Tune Title: [Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep]

Dobree Hymnal: HRGC1892 #246 (1894) Lyrics: 1 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin, No more childish griefs or fears, No more sadness, no more tears; For the life so young and fair Now hath passed from earthly care; God Himself the soul will keep, Giving His beloved sleep. 2 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin; Passed beyond all grief and pain, Death for thee is truest gain; For our loss we may not weep, Now our loved ones long to keep From the home of rest and peace, Where all sin and sorrow cease. 3 Safely, safely gathered in, Far from sorrow, far from sin; God has saved from weary strife, In its dawn, this fresh young life; Now it waits for us above, Resting in the Saviour's love; Jesu, grant that we may meet There, adoring, at Thy feet.

Saviour, for the little one

Author: Mrs. M. A. Thomson Hymnal: HRGC1892 #247 (1894) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, for the little one, Safely gathered in Thine arms, Ere the battle had begun, Victor, spared from war's alarms, We who toil and struggle sing Praise to Thee, the children's King. 2 First of all Thy martyr-band, Infants for Thy sake were slain; Day by day, from every land, Infants swell the guileless train, Who, this vale of tears untrod, Stand before the throne of God. 3 Thou dost give and take away, Full of love, in all Thy ways: Be each mourner's heart to-day Full of loving trust and praise, In the midst of grief to bring Thanks to Thee, the children's King.

Author: W. C. Bryant Hymnal: HRGC1892 #251a (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak, Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Look from Thy sphere of endless day]
