Christ who died is living; death has lost its sting. [Refrain]

Children of the Heavenly Father
Author: Caroline V. S. Berg; Ernst W. Olson Hymnal: Voices Together #517 (2020) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Eternal Life First Line: Children of the heav’nly Father Lyrics: 1 Children of the heav’nly Father
safely in his bosom gather.
Nestling bird nor star in heaven
such a refuge e’er was given.
2 God his own doth tend and nourish,
in his holy courts they flourish.
From all evil things he spares them,
in his mighty arms he bears them.
3 Neither life nor death shall ever
from the Lord his children sever.
Unto them his grace he showeth,
and their sorrows all he knoweth.
4 Though he giveth or he taketh,
God his children ne’er forsaketh.
His the loving purpose solely
to preserve them safe and holy. Scripture: Psalm 84:1-4 Tune Title: SANDELL
Children of the Heavenly Father
A few more years shall roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Church Book #541 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood,
And take my sins away!
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.
3 'Tis but a little while
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him may reign:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that bright day;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood,
And take my sins away!
Languages: English Tune Title: LAMBERTVILLE
A few more years shall roll
O what terror in thy forethought
Author: Peter Damian, d. 1072; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Church Book #543 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 O what terror in thy forethought,
Ending scene of mortal life!
Heart is sickened, reins are loosened,
Thrills each nerve, with terror rife,
When the anxious heart depicteth
All the anguish of the strife!
2 Christ, unconquered King of glory!
Thou my wretched soul relieve
In that last extremest terror
When the body she must leave:
Let the Accuser of the brethren
O'er me then no power receive!
3 Let the Prince of darkness vanish,
And Gehenna's legions fly!
Shepherd, Thou Thy sheep, thus ransomed,
To Thy country lead on high,
Where for ever in fruition
I may see Thee eye to eye! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER'S
O what terror in thy forethought
At length released from many woes
Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Gottfried Neumann Hymnal: Church Book #553 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 At length released from many woes,
How sweetly dost thou sleep!
How calm and peaceful thy repose,
While Christ thy soul doth keep!
2 In earth's wide field thy body now
We sow, which lifeless lies,
In sure and certain hope that thou
More glorious shalt arise.
3 Then rest thee in thy lowly bed,
Nor shall our hearts repine.
Thy toils and woes are finishéd:
A happy lot is thine.
4 The Bridegroom will not long delay;
The Shepherd soon will come,
And take His cherished lamb away
To His eternal home.
5 Blest, who have Jesus' love esteemed
O'er every earthly thing;
For none of all His flock redeemed
Will Jesus fail to bring. Languages: English Tune Title: BELMONT
At length released from many woes
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
Author: Margaret Mackay Hymnal: Church Book #555 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet;
With holy confidence to sing
That Death has lost its venomed sting!
3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest:
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
4 Asleep in Jesus! O, for me
May such a blissful refuge be:
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.
Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DROSTANE
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
Why do we mourn departing friends
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #556 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Burial 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 should 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,
There hopes unfading bloom.
4 The graves of all His saints He blessed,
And softened every bed:
Where should the dying members rest,
But with their dying Head?
5 Thence He arose, ascending high,
And showed our feet the way;
Up to the Lord our souls 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. Languages: English Tune Title: DURHAM
Why do we mourn departing friends
Wherefore should I make my moan
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #559 (1890) Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 Wherefore should I make my moan,
Now the darling child is dead?
He to early rest is gone,
He to paradise is fled:
I shall go to him, but he
Never shall return to me.
2 God forbids his longer stay;
God recalls the precious loan;
God hath taken him away
From my bosom to His own:
Surely what He wills is best:
Happy in His will I rest.
3 Faith cries out, It is the Lord,
Let Him do as seems Him good!
Be Thy holy Name adored;
Take the gift awhile bestowed;
Take the child no longer mine;
Thine he is, for ever Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD, 76
Wherefore should I make my moan
