All souls, my God, belong to Thee; My soul is also Thine. 3 Thou gavest my spirit at my birth; Take back what Thou hast given; And with the Lord I served on earth, Grant me to live in heaven. 4 My soul is sprinkled with the Blood Thy Son hath shed for us, And in Thy sight is pure and good, Adorned and radiant thus. 5 Thou my Deliverer wast of yore; From sin Thou mad'st me free: Now, faithful God, do Thou, once more In death deliver me. 6 Thou livest and lovest without end, And dost perform Thy word: My parting soul I now commend To Thee, my God and Lord!

Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God

Author: Miss Winkworth; Paul Eber Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the Tree, To bring Thy Father's grace for me: I pray Thee through that bitter woe, Let me, a sinner, mercy know. 2 When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death. When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear, 3 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus! come with speed, And help me in my hour of need; Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death. 4 Joyful my Resurrection be, Thou in the Judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me Life, of Thy dear grace! I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death: Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

Rest of the weary! Thou

Author: Solomon Frank; Miss Winkworth Meter: 6.6.10 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Rest of the weary! Thou Thyself art resting now, Where lowly in Thy sepulchre Thou liest; From out her deathly sleep My soul doth start, to weep So sad a wonder, that Thou, Saviour, diest! 2 Thy bitter anguish o'er, To this dark tomb they bore Thee, Life of life--Thee, Lord of all creation! The hollow rocky cave Must serve Thee for a grave, Who wast Thyself the Rock of our salvation! 3 O Prince of Life! I know That when I too lie low, Thou wilt at last my soul from death awaken; And thus I will not shrink From the grave's awful brink; The heart that trusts in Thee shall ne'er be shaken. 4 To me the darksome tomb Is but a narrow room, Where I may rest in peace, from sorrow free. Thy Death shall give me power To cry in that dark hour, O Death! O Grave! where is your victory? 5 The grave can naught destroy; Only the flesh can die, And e'en the body triumphs o'er decay: Clothed by Thy wondrous might In robes of dazzling light, This flesh shall burst the grave at that Last Day. 6 My Jesus, day by day, Help me to watch and pray, Beside the tomb where in my heart Thou'rt laid. Thy bitter Death shall be My constant memory, My guide at last into death's awful shade. Used With Tune: EASTER EVE

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 comes it right and well to me, When, where, and how my death shall be.
