Now hush your cries and shed no tear

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #379 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 NOW hush your cries and shed no tear, On such death none should look with fear; He died a faithful Christian man, And with his death true life began. 2 Coffin and grave we deck with care, His body reverently we bear, It is not dead, but rests in God, And softly sleeps beneath the sod. 3 It seems as all were over now,-- The heavy limbs, the souless brow,-- Yet through these rigid limbs once more A nobler life, ere long, shall pour. 4 These bones now dead, again shall feel New warmth and vigor through them steal, And reunited they shall soar On high to live for evermore. 5 This body, lying stiff and stark, Shall soon rise upward from the dark, And swiftly mount up through the skies, Even as the spirit heavenwards flies, 6 The buried grain of wheat must die, Withered and worthless long must lie, Yet springs to light all sweet and fair, And proper fruits shall richly bear. 7 Even so this body, made of dust, To earth we once again entrust, Where it shall slumber free from pain, Till from the dead it rise again. 8 God breathed into this house of clay The spirit that hath passed away; The righteous mind, the noble heart, The living faith did Christ impart. 9 Now earth has hid it from our eyes, Till God shall bid it wake and rise, Who ne'er the creature will forget, On whom His image He hath set. 10 Ah! would that promised day were here, When Christ shall once again appear, And bring them to their heavenly home Who have been buried in the tomb.

O hear my sighs to Thee. 5 When mind and thought, 0 Savior, Are flic'ring like a light That to and fro doth waver Ere 'tis extinguished quite, 6 In that last hour, O grant me To slumber soft and still, No doubts to vex or haunt me, Safe anchored on Thy will; 7 And so to Thee still cleaving Through all death's agony, To fall asleep believing And wake in heav'n with Thee. 8 Amen! Thou, Christ, my Savior. Wilt grant this unto me. Thy Spirit lead me ever That I fare happily. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTUS, DER IST MEIN LEBEN
