Be Still, My Soul

Author: Katrina A. D. von Schlegel; Jane Borthwick Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory First Line: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side; bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; leave to thy God to order and provide; in ev'ry change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav'nly Friend thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake to guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, and all is darkened in the veil of tears, then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay from His own fullness all He takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Used With Tune: FINLANDIA

Far from affliction, toil, and care

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Death of their Minister Lyrics: 1 Far from affliction, toil, and care, The happy soul is fled; the breathless clay shall slumber here, Among the silent dead. 2 The gospel was his joy and song, E'en to his latest breath; The truth he had proclaim'd so long Was his support in death. 3 Now he resides where Jesus is, Above this dusky sphere; His soul was ripen'd for that bliss, While yet he sojourn'd here. 4 The Churches' loss we all deplore, And shed the falling tear; Since we shall see his face no more, Till Jesus shall appear. 5 But we are hasting to the tomb; Oh, may we ready stand; Then, dearest Lord, receive us home, To dwell at thy right hand.

Christ exalted to the Kingdom

Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Suffering and Death of Christ; Suffering and Death of Christ First Line: David rejoic'd in God his strength Lyrics: 1 David rejoic'd in God his strength, Rais'd to the throne by special grace, But Christ the son appears at length, Fulfils the triumph and the praise. 2 How great is the Messiah's joy In the salvation of thy hand! Lord, thou hast rais'd his kingdom high, And given the world to his command. 3 Thy goodness grants whate'er he will, Nor doth the least request with-hold: Blessings of love prevent him still, And crowns of glory, not of gold. 4 Honour and majesty divine Around his sacred temples shine: Blest with the favour of thy face, And length of everlasting days. 5 Thine hand shall find out all his foes; And as a firey oven glows With raging heat and living coals, So shall thy wrath devour their souls. Scripture: Psalm 21:1-9

Bald ist die pilgrimschaft vollbracht

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Bald ist die pilgrimschaft vollbracht, Bald sinkt mein haupt tief in die nacht, Bald werd ich sterben müssen. Mein auge, das zum menschenfreund So oft vor liebe aufgeweint, Wird bald der tod verschliessen. Zwar schaurt die menschliche natur; Doch zag ich nicht, ich bete nu Zu Gott, weil mir die kraft vergeht, Der puls des lebens stille sieht. Mein Vater, ach entzieh mir nicht, Entzieh mir nicht Dein freudenstrahlend angesicht. 2 Ein grosser sünder bin ich zwar; Jedoch ich machte am altar Mich ja von sünden ledig. Ich schlug ja weinend an die brust, Und seufzte: ihm ist es bewußt! Gott, sey mir sünder gnädig! Den christen-kampf hab ich gekämpft, Den sturm der lüste oft gedämpft, Von ganzem herzen dich geliebt, Und arme brüder nie betrübt: Doch Gott, du weißsts nun sterbe ich! Drum bitt' ich dich: Wirf einen gnadenblich auf mich! 3 Mein geist entschwinget sich noch heut Zum schauplatz deiner herrlichkeit, Vom würtmer vollen staube. Mein heldenherze schrecket nicht Dein unerbittliches gericht; Ich weiß an wen ich glaube, Schon tritt der bängste todesschmerz Mir immer näher an das herz. herr Jesu, greife doch nach mir, Nim den erlösten geist zu dir: Er neigt sin haupt. So stirbt der christ, So stirbt der christ, Der treu bis an sine ende ist. 4 Er steht noch höher als ein thrum, Und kühner als ein fels im sturm, Wie Tabor in gewittern. Er lächelt, wenn der tod erscheint, Er segnet ihn, als seinen freund, Wann übertreter zittern. So sey denn das mein ruhm allein, Der ruhm, ein guter christ zu seyn, Der auf der finstern todesbahn, Wie im mittage schreiten kan. Lamm Gottes! sende mir den Geist, Den gutes Geist, Der mir den weg zum himmel weis't.

Jesus Is a Rock in a Weary Land

Meter: 6.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Victory over Sin and Death First Line: No man can do like Jesus Lyrics: Refrain: Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a weary land, a weary land; My Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a shelter in the time of storm. 1 No man can do like Jesus, Not a mumbling word He said; He went walking down to Lazarus’ grave, And He raised him from the dead. [Refrain] 2 When Jesus was on earth, The flesh was very weak; He girdled himself with a tow'l, And washed his disciples feet. [Refrain] 3 Yonder comes my Savior, Him whom I love so well; He has the palm of victory, And the keys of death and Hell. [Refrain Scripture: Numbers 20:1-13 Used With Tune: WEARY LAND Text Sources: Traditional

Teach me the measure of my days

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 258 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame! I would survey life's narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 2 A span is all that we can boast; A fleeting hour of time; Man is but vanity and dust, In all His flower and prime. 3 Vain race of mortals, see them move Like shadows o'er the plain: They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 4 Some walk in honor's gaudy show; Some dig for golden ore; They toil for whom they do not know, And straight are seen no more. 5 What should I wish or wait for then, From creatures, earth, and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 6 Now I resign my earthly hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all. Used With Tune: MERTON

Refrain Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me; Buried, He carried my sins far away; Rising, He justified freely, forever; One day He’s coming: O glorious day! 2 One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain, One day they nailed Him to die on the tree; Suffering anguish, despised and rejected, Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He! [Refrain] 3 One day they left Him alone in the garden, One day He rested, from suffering free; Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil; Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He! [Refrain] 4 One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, One day the stone rolled away from the door; Then He arose, over death He had conquered, Now is ascended, my Lord ever more! [Refrain] 5 One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, One day the skies with His glory will shine; Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing; Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine! [Refrain] Scripture: Galatians 4:4 Used With Tune: ONE DAY

Farewell! I say with gladness

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 FAREWELL! I say with gladness, False, evil world, farewell! Thy life is sin and sadness, With thee I would not dwell; In heaven are better pleasures, I long for that bright sphere Where God grants endless treasures To those that served Him here. 2 Do with me as it pleases Thy heart, O Son of God! When anguish on me seizes, Help me to bear my load; Nor then my sorrows lengthen, But take me hence on high; My fearful spirit strengthen, And let me calmly die. 3 When all around is darkling, Thy name and cross, still bright, Deep in my heart are sparkling, Like stars in blackest night. Appear Thou in Thy sorrow, For Thine was woe indeed, And from Thy cross I borrow All comfort heart can need. 4 Thou diedst for me,--O hide me When tempests round me roll; Through all my foes, O guide me, Receive my trembling soul. If I but grasp Thee firmer, What matters pain when past? Hath he a cause to murmur Who reaches heaven at last? 5 O write my name, I pray Thee, Now in the book of life; So let me here obey Thee, And there, where joys are rife, Forever bloom before Thee, Thy perfect freedom prove, And tell, as I adore Thee, How faithful was Thy love.
