Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a443 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessèd 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 hath lost its cruel sting. 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest! Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Savior's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! O for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie, The summons waiting from on high. 5 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But there is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep.

So fades the lovely, blooming flower

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a444 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flower; Frail, smiling solace of an hour; So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. 2 Is there no kind, no healing art To soothe the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace, be ever nigh; Thy comforts are not made to die. 3 Let gentle patience smile on pain, Till dying hope revives again; Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

O Thou whose mercy guides my way

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a445 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Consummation Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose mercy guides my way, Though now it seem severe, Forbid my unbelief to say, There is no mercy here! 2 O may I, Lord, desire the pain That comes in kindness down, Far more than sweetest earthly gain, Succeeded by Thy frown. 3 Then, though Thou bend my spirit low, Love only I shall see; The gracious hand that strikes the blow Was wounded once for me.

Heavenly Father, Thou hast given

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a446 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, Thou hast given Us this child in holy trust, That we train it up for heaven, There to dwell among the just. 2 From all sin, O Christ, our Savior, Thou hast saved it through Thy blood; Gained for it the highest favor, Bought for it the highest good. 3 Nor withheldest Thou Thy favor, New-Creator of the heart, Who in the baptismal laver Didst new life and grace impart. 4 Fain would we have kept this token Of Thy tender love, kind Lord; And it is with hearts nigh broken That we part from our dear ward. 5 Though we loved it, as Thou knowest, Dearly though we love it still; Greater love, Lord, Thou bestows, And we bless Thy gracious will.

Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

And no sigh of anguish sore Heaves that little bosom more. 2 In this world of care and pain, Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny heavenly plain Dost Thou now in joy receive it; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light.

Mourn not ye, whose child hath found

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a448 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Mourn not ye whose child hath found Purer skies and holier ground; Flowers of bright and pleasant hue, Free from thorns and fresh with dew. 2 Mourn not ye whose child hath fled From this region of the dead, To yon winged angel-band, To a better, fairer land. 3 Knowledge in that clime doth grow Free from weeds of toil and wo, Joys which mortals may not share; Mourn ye not, your child is there.

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a449 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Now lay we calmly in the grave This form, whereof no doubt we have That it shall rise again that day, In glorious triumph o'er decay. 2 And so to earth again we trust What came from dust, and turns to dust, And from the dust shall surely rise When the last trumpet fills the skies. 3 His soul is living now in God, Whose grace his pardon hath bestowed, Who through His Son redeemed him here From bonds of Satan, sin, and fear. 4 His trials and his griefs are past; A blessed end is his at last; He bore Christ's yoke and did His will, And though he died he liveth still. 5 He lives where none do mourn and weep, And calmly shall this body sleep, Till God shall death himself destroy, And raise it into glorious joy. 6 He suffered pain and grief below, Christ heals him now from all his woe; For him hath endless joy begun; He shines in glory like the sun. 7 Then let us leave him to his rest, And homeward turn, for he is blest; And we must well our souls prepare, When death shall come, to meet him there. 8 So help us, Christ, our Hope in loss; Thou hast redeemed us by Thy cross From endless death and misery; We praise, we bless, we worship Thee!
