My God, I Know That I Must Die

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Mrs. Sarah (Borthwick) Findlater Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #593 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 My God, I know that I must die: My mortal life is passing hence; On earth I neither hope nor try To find a lasting residence. Then teach me by Thy heav'nly grace With joy and peace my death to face. 2 My God, I know not when I die; What is the moment or the hour, How soon the clay may broken lie, How quickly pass away the flower: Then may Thy child preparéd be Through time to meet eternity. 3 My God, I know not how I die; For death in many ways doth come, In dark, mysterious agony, Or gently as a sleep to some. Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blesséd Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, upon what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content, I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, O bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love: Then all is right and well with me, When, where, and how my death shall be. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: VATER UNSER IM HIMMELREICH

Day of Wrath, O Day of Mourning

Author: William J. Irons; Thomas de Celano Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #607 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8 Topics: The Last Things Judgment First Line: Day of wrath, O day of mourning Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, O day of mourning! See fulfilled the Prophets' warning, Heav'n and earth in ashes burning. 2 Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth When from heav'n the Judge descendeth On whose sentence all dependeth! 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Thro' earth's sepulchers it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck and nature quaking; All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo, the book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge his seat attaineth And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesus, my salvation Cost Thy wondrous incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me; Shall such grace be vainly brought me? 11 Righteous Judge, for sin's pollution Grant thy gift of absolution Ere that day of retribution! 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 From that sinful woman shriven, From the dying thief forgiven, Thou to me a hope hast given. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing; Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With Thy favored sheep, oh, place me! Nor among the goats abase me, But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Low I kneel with heart-submission, See, like ashes, my contrition; Help me in my last condition! 18 Day of sorrow, day of weeping, When, in dust no longer sleeping, Man awakes in Thy dread keeping! 19 To the rest Thou didst prepare me On Thy cross; O Christ, upbear me! Spare, O God, in mercy spare me! Amen. Scripture: Zephaniah 1:15-16 Languages: English Tune Title: DIES IRAE

Wake, Arise! a Voice Appalling

Author: Johann Olof Wallin; Philipp Nicolai Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #612 (1926) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Topics: Last Things Resurrection and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Wake, arise! a voice appalling In solemn majesty is calling To all the deeps of earth and sea. Wake, arise, ye dead unnumbered, That in your silent graves have slumbered, Released from toil and agony. God's voice is heard at last; The night of death is past, Day is dawning, The Lord's great day, That dreadful day, When judgment shall be passed for aye. 2 Earth and sea and sky shall tremble, The angels of the Lord assemble, When Christ in glory comes again. Mountains fall, and deeps are yawning When in eternity's dread dawning He comes to judge the sons of men. There shall be joy and tears, And hope shall blend with fears, But the faithful Shall enter bold The Shepherd's fold, And all receive their crowns of gold. 3 Christ, Thy coming all shall gladden Who in Thy footsteps here have trodden Upon Thy thorny path below. Palms for thorns shall then be given; And, waiting for the joys of heaven, Contented to my grave I go. The little while I sleep, Thy angels vigil keep, Till Thou comest My soul to wake And, for Thy sake, My spirit into bliss to take. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

Lyrics: 1 Abode of peace, my Father’s home forever! My weary soul in faith doth yearn for thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m blest forever, With Thee I'm blest forever. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TILL FRIDENS HEM
