Oh, hear my sighs to Thee! 5 When mind and thought, 0 Savior, Are flickering like a light That to and fro doth waver Ere 'tis extinguished quite, 6 In that last hour, oh, 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 heaven with Thee. 8 Amen! Thou, Christ, my Savior, Wilt grant this unto me. Thy Spirit lead me ever That I fare happily. Amen. Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTUS, DER IST MEIN

Though death o'ertakes me, Christ ne'er forsakes me, To everlasting life He surely wakes me. 3 More radiant there than sun e'er shone in brightness, My soul shall shine before God's throne in whiteness. My God, who knows me, In glory clothes me, As He declared when for His own He chose me. 4 O may I come where strife and grief are ended, Where all Thy saints shall meet, with peace attended! Grant, Lord, Thy favor And mercy ever, And turn my sorrow into joy forever. 5 Lord Jesus Christ, keep me prepared and waking, Till from the vale of tears Thy bride Thou'rt taking To dwell in heaven, Where joy is given, And clouds of darkness are forever riven.

Why do we mourn departing friends?

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #873 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burial of a Saint 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 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? 'Twas there the bleeding Saviour lay, And left a rich perfume. 3 Thence he arose, and, upward borne, In triumph led the way; The sleeping saints, at his return, Shall hail the glorious day. 4 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? And can we wish the hours more slow That keep us from our Love? 5 Soon shall the last loud trumpet sound, And bid the saints arise; Millions shall leave the trembling ground, And mount the lofty skies. Scripture: Jeremiah 22:10

The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 3 Come not in terrors, as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for ev'ry plea. Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me. 4 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 5 I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still if Thou abide with me! 6 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Scripture: Luke 24:29 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Here we commit unto the dust

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Burials At the interring of the corpse Lyrics: 1 Here we commit unto the dust, This body in the grave to rest; We place this body there to lay, Here for to moulder and decay. 2 Not here forever to remain, For Christ will raise the dead again, In that great day when he shall come, To fix and settle all our doom. 3 In judgment we must all appear, And shew how we have lived here: Our just reward we shall receive, Such as the righteous Judge shall give. 4 O man! be wise, learn what thou art, Be wise and act the prudent part; Thou canst not always here remain, Thou must return to dust again. 5 Our days how soon they pass away, In this vain world, how short our stay! When all our pain and toil is past, Then death will bear us off at last. 6 Why should we then for earthly toys, Exchange a life of endless joys; Should we so blind and careless be, To trifle with eternity. 7 O Lord, in mercy grant us grace, Teach us to number all our days, And in thy service each to spend, Until this mortal life we end.

Now my departure is at hand

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 Now my departure is at hand; From hence I must remove! To join the bless'd celestial band In the bright realms above. 2 My warfare and contests are o'er, And I can welcome death; In spite of sin and Satan's pow'r, I fought and kept the faith. 3 And thus I finished my course, And passed safely through; My Lord who conquers ev'ry force, Made me to conquer too. 4 My conflicts and debates are pass'd, And my salvation seal'd; My victories are gain'd at last, Now as I quit the field. 5 The crown of life laid up for me: And all who love the Lord; For all my suff'rings here shall be A gracious great reward.

To live in Christ is life indeed

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 To live in Christ is life indeed, And so to die is gain; Since by his death my soul is freed From sin and endless pain. 2 My soul desires with him to be, And see him as he is; That grace which he bestows on me, Confirms that I am his. 3 I harbour neither doubt nor fear, That I shall be deceiv'd; And I shall see my Saviour there, In whom I here believ'd. 4 Tho' here I bear the Cross a while, And suffer with my Lord; For all my labour pain and toil, He will be my reward. 5 When he shall raise me from the dust, And fashion me anew; And be permitted with the just: His face in heav'n to view.
