Declension

Author: George W. Bethune Hymnal: LD1888 #573 (1888) First Line: Oh, for the happy hour Lyrics: 1 Oh, for the happy hour When God will hear our cry, And send, with a reviving power, His Spirit from on high. 2 While many crowd thy house, How few, around thy board, Meet to recount their solemn vows, And bless thee as their Lord! 3 Thou, thou alone canst give Thy gospel sure success; Canst bid the dying sinner live Anew in holiness. 4 Come, then, with power divine, Spirit of life and love! Thou shall this people all be thine, This church like that above. Topics: Church Missions of; Church Revival of; Church Work of Scripture: Lamentations 1:4 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BRIDE

"We are confident"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #574 (1888) First Line: Why do we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arms. 2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all the saints he blessed, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise; Awake! ye nations under ground; Ye saints! ascend the skies.

Resurrection sure

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: LD1888 #575 (1888) First Line: When downward to the darksome tomb Lyrics: 1 When downward to the darksome tomb I thoughtful turn my eyes, Frail nature trembles at the gloom And anxious fears arise. 2 Why shrinks my soul?--in death's embrace Once Jesus captive slept: And angels, hovering o'er the place, His lowly pillow kept. 3 Thus shall they guard my sleeping dust, And, as the Saviour rose, The grave again shall yield her trust, And end my deep repose. 4 My Lord, before to glory gone, Shall bid me come away; And calm and bright shall break the dawn Of heaven's eternal day. 5 Then let my faith each fear dispel, And gild with light the grave; To him my loftiest praises swell, Who died, from death to save.

"His beloved sleep"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #576 (1888) First Line: Why should we start, and fear to die? Lyrics: 1 Why should we start, and fear to die? What timorous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate of endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there. 2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife Fright our approaching souls away; We still shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay. 3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet, My soul should stretch her wings in haste, Fly fearless through death's iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she passed. 4 Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on his breast I lean my head, And breathe my life out sweetly there!

Death of the Righteous

Author: Mrs. Anna L. Barbauld Hymnal: LD1888 #577 (1888) First Line: How blest the righteous when he dies Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies,-- When sinks a weary soul to rest! How mildly beam the closing eyes! How gently heaves the expiring breast! 2 So fades a summer-cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o'er So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shore. 3 A holy quiet reigns around,-- A calm which life nor death destroys; And naught disturbs that peace profound, Which his unfettered soul enjoys. 4 Life's labor done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies; While heaven and earth combine to say,--- "How blest the righteous when he dies!"

Prepare to meet God

Author: William B. Collyer Hymnal: LD1888 #580 (1888) First Line: Great God, what do I see and hear! Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding-- Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God! what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him.

"Into thine hand"

Author: Edgar A. Bowring Hymnal: LD1888 #581 (1888) First Line: When my last hour is close at hand Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, My last and journey taken, Do thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand; Let me not be forsaken: O Lord! my spirit I resign Into thy loving hands divine; 'Tis safe within thy keeping. 2 Countless as sands upon the shore, My sins may then appall me; Yet, though my conscience vex me sore, Despair shall not enthrall me; For as I draw my latest breath, I'll think, Lord Christ! upon thy death; And there find consolation. 3 I shall not in the grave remain, Since thou death's bonds hast severed: By hope with thee to rise again, From fear of death delivered, I'll come to thee, where'er thou art,-- Live with thee, from thee never part; Therefore I die in rapture. 4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go, My longing arms extending; So fall asleep in slumber deep, Slumber that knows no ending; Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Opens the gates of bliss, leads on To heaven, to life eternal.
