that givest all both warmth and light,
O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

forgiving others, take your part,

Ye who long pain and sorrow bear,
sing praise and cast on God your care,
O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

waiting to hush our final breath,
alleluia, alleluia!
Thou leadest home the child of God,
as Christ before that way hath trod,
O sing ye, O sing ye, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

and worship God in humbleness,
alleluia, alleluia!
To God all thanks and praise belong!

O Thou, in Whose Presence
Author: Joseph Swain Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 506 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternal Life First Line: O thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight,
on whom in affliction I call,
my comfort by day, and my song in the night,
my hope, my salvation, my all:
Where dost thou, dear Shepherd, resort with thy sheep
to feed in the pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep
or lone in the wilderness rove?
2 Oh, why should I wander an alien from thee
or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see
and smile at the tears I have shed.
Yet speak, and ten thousands of angels rejoice;
thy soul-cheering wisdom impart.
Eternity echoes the sound of thy voice
that reaches my desolate heart. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: ZION’S PILGRIM Text Sources: Sacred Poetry: Comprising an Entire System of Divine Truth, 1790, alt.

or gone from us in youth or prime,
in Christ they have eternal life,
released from all the bonds of time.
3 In Christ, who tasted death for us,
we rise above our natural grief,
and witness to a stricken world
the strength and splendor of belief. Used With Tune: MARYTON

In the bulb there is a flower

in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future,
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 Used With Tune: HYMN OF PROMISE

Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound,
To see Thy smiling face;
Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing,
While heaven's resounding mansions ring
The riches of Thy grace. Used With Tune: ACH! WAS SOLL ICH SÜNDER MACHEN
