Barbauld Appears in 470 hymnals Topics: The Christian's Death; Death; Hope In Death; Resurrection Of Believers ; Death; Hope In Death; Resurrection Of Believers 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 shores. 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!"

Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light 3 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I, to-day, are nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death.

[Refrain] 3 Should coming days be cold and dark, We need not cease our singing; That perfect rest naught can molest, Where golden harps are ringing. [Refrain] 4 Let sorrow's rudest tempest blow, Each cord on earth to sever; Our King says, Come, and there's our home For ever, oh, for ever! [Refrain]

Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Death; Funeral Of a believer First Line: 'Tis finished, 'tis done! the spirit is fled Lyrics: 1 'Tis finish'd, 'tis done! the spirit is fled, Our brother is gone, the christian is dead; The Christian is living in Jesus's love, And gladly receiving a kingdom above. 2 All honor and praise are Jesus's due; Supported by grace, he fought his way thro', Triumphantly glorious, thro' Jesus's zeal, And more than victorious o'er sin, death, and hell. 3 Then let us record the conquering name, Our captain and Lord, with shoutings proclaim: Who trust in his passion, and follow their head, To certain salvation shall surely be led. 4 O Jesus, lead on thy militant care, And give us the crown of righteousness there Where dazzled with glory, the seraphim gaze, Or prostrate adore thee in silence or praise. 5 Within us display thy love, when we die, And bear us away, to mansions on high: The kingdom be given, of glory divine, And crown us in heaven eternally thine.
