Come Away to the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.9.6.6.9 Appears in 173 hymnals Topics: Burial Lyrics: 1 Come away to the skies, my belovèd, arise
And rejoice in the day thou wast born;
On this festival day, come exulting away,
And with singing to Zion return.
2 For thy glory we were first created to share,
Both the nature and kingdom divine,
Now created again that our lives may remain
Throughout time and eternity Thine.
3 We with thanks do approve the design
Of that love that hath joined us to Jesus’ Name;
Now united in heart, let us never more part,
Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.
4 Hallelujah! we sing to our Father and King,
And our rapturous praises repeat:
To the Lamb that was slain, Hallelujah again!
Sing all Heaven and fall at His feet!
Scripture: Genesis 1:26-31 Used With Tune: MIDDLEBURY
Come Away to the Skies
In Thy Dear Wounds I Fall Asleep
Author: Paul Eber Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 In Thy dear wounds I fall asleep,
O Jesus, cleanse my soul from sin:
Thy bitter death, Thy precious blood
For me eternal glory win.
2 By Thee redeemed, I have no fear,
When now I leave this mortal clay,
With joy before Thy throne I come;
God's own must die, yet live alway.
3 Welcome, O death! thou bringest me
To dwell with God eternally;
Through Christ my soul from sin is free,
O take me now, dear Lord, to Thee!
Amen.

May choirs of angels lead you
This body in the grave is laid
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Death and Burials At the interring of the corpse Lyrics: 1 This body in the grave is laid,
Here to return to dust:
As God to father Adam said,
That all our bodies must.
2 Not here forever to remain,
For Christ himself shall come,
And call the dead to live again,
And raise them from the tomb.
3 The graves must all give up their dead,
And ev'ry other place;
God's great commands must be obey'd,
And all the dead must raise.
4 All must appear before their Lord,
And their just sentence hear;
Likwise receive their just reward,
Such as their actions were.
5 May we be wise while here we live:
O may we seek and try,
And take advice, as Christ doth give,
To live and learn to die.
6 How swift our precious moments pass,
How soon our days are fled;
Prepar'd, or unprepar'd, alas!
We're number'd with the dead.
7 O careless man be wise and think,
What will become of thee:
Who now art standing on the brink,
Of vast eternity.
This body in the grave is laid
O Lord, turn not thy face from me

O Lord, turn not thy face from me
God of the living, in Whose eyes
Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 60 hymnals Topics: Burial of the Dead Lyrics:
God of the living, in whose eyes
Unveiled thy whole creation lies,
All souls are thine; we must not say
That those are dead who pass away,
From this our world of flesh set free;
We know them living unto thee.
Released from earthly toil and strife,
With thee is hidden still their life;
Thine are their thoughts, their works, their powers,
All thine, and yet most truly ours,
For well we know, where'er they be,
Our dead are living unto thee.
Not spilt like water on the ground,
Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound,
Not wandering in unknown despair
Beyond thy voice, thine arm, thy care;
Not left to lie like fallen tree;
Not dead, but living unto thee.
Thy word is true, thy will is just;
To thee we leave them, Lord, in trust;
And bless thee for the love which gave
Thy Son to fill a human grave,
That none might fear that world to see
Where all are living unto thee.
374
O Breather into man of breath,
O Holder of the keys of death,
O Giver of the life within,
Save us from death, the death of sin;
That body, soul, and spirit be
For ever living unto thee!
Amen.

When our heads are bowed with woe
Author: H. H. Milman Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 167 hymnals Topics: Burial of the Dead; Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 When our heads are bowed with woe,
When our bitter tears o'erflow,
When we mourn the lost, the dear,
Jesu, Son of Mary, hear!
2 Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn,
Thou our mortal griefs hast borne,
Thou hast shed the human tear;
Jesu, Son of Mary, hear!
3 When the solemn death-bell tolls
For our own departing souls,
When our final doom is near,
Jesu, Son of Mary, hear!
4 Thou hast bowed the dying head,
Thou the blood of life hast shed,
Thou hast filled a mortal bier;
Jesu, Son of Mary, hear!
5 When the heart is sad within
With the thought of all its sin,
When the spirit shrinks with fear,
Jesu, Son of Mary, hear!
6 Thou the shame, the grief, hast known,
Though the sins were not Thine own;
Thou hast deigned their load to bear;
Jesu, Son of Mary, hear!
Amen. Used With Tune: REDHEAD, 47
When our heads are bowed with woe
Rest in the Lord, O servant by His grace
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Burial of a Priest Lyrics:
I
Rest in the Lord, O servant by His grace,
Dwell in His courts, and gaze upon His face,
Know nought of toil, of weariness, or woe,
They rest who serve, not weary, as below.
II
Rest in the Lord, the strife of war is past,
Wear now the wreath of victory at last;
E’en death is slain,—the cross of Christ sufficed,
Death is not death, to those who live in Christ.
III
Rest in the Lord, the goal of life is won,
To thee ’tis given to hear the glad “Well done”;
Great their reward, who, till their Lord appear,
Serve in the vineyard of the Master, here.
IV
Rest in the Lord; none can His honour claim,
They honour have, who honour most His name;
Thine this reward who counted gain but loss,
Nor felt it shame to glory in the cross.
V
Rest in the Lord; swift comes the happy time,
When we who strive shall reach Thy fairer clime;
Christ, give us welcome when the toil is past,
And bring us to the bliss of heaven, at last.
Rest in the Lord, O servant by His grace
