Abode of Peace, My Father's Home Forever

Author: Agata Rosenius Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.8.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Last Things Heaven First Line: Abode of peace, my Father's home forever! Lyrics: 1 Abode of peace, my Father’s home forever! My weary soul in faith doth yearn for thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m blest forever, With Thee I'm blest forever. Amen. Used With Tune: TILL FRIDENS HEM

L. von Zinzendorf Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection Lyrics: 1 From place to place the Christian goes, By many a tempest driven, At last the haven of repose He safely finds in heaven. God, after life's alarms, Receives him in His arms. He dies, as in the mold the grain, To yield its golden fruit again. 2 And sure thy parting has been blessed, Bless'd be thy life's example! Thou spirit, calmly gone to rest, And thou, its mouldering temple. O soul, thy Savior's near! The morning star shines clear; And you, ye members, softly sleep Beneath love's shadow still and deep. 3 We wait with glad and patient hope The glorious revelation, While He this pilgrim dress folds up In holy preservation. O happy souls who rest In Jesus' arms and breast. Love leads us all our path aright, Through such a depth to such a height. Used With Tune: [From place to place the Christian goes]

Now lay we calmly in the grave

Author: M. Weisse Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection 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 bondage unto sin and fear. 4 His trials and his griefs are past; A blesséd 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 can 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.

Life's day is ended

Author: H. A. Brorson Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection Lyrics: 1 Life's day is ended, The battle fought and won; With joy unblended I greet the set of sun. My soul, now rest thee Forever, tired of earth; At last divest thee Of buckler, shield, and girth: Arise, and hast thee To heavenly glories forth. 2 My pathway, leading Through realms of tears and pain, I see receding, And ne'er shall tread again. Life's stern endeavor, That set my soul aglow, So that I never A moment's rest did know, Shall cease forever, And God the prize bestow. 3 My shield remaineth, The warfare now is o'er; My heart maintaineth Its trust in God secure. I hard contended For faith both day and night; The foe intended To break its saving might, But now hath ended That tempter's losing fight. 4 Hence Christ in heaven Did me a crown prepare, Which shall be given not only me to wear, But whomsoever, The lowliest and the best, Who doth endeavor To serve his Savior blest, And so forever Shall be his worthy guest. 5 Now, world, I leave thee, And bid a last farewell, Content, believe me, Hence in the grave to dwell. Let flesh that faileth Return again to clay, Where woe prevaileth, With trials day by day, What now assaileth I meet without dismay. 6 All praise and honor, Now and forevermore, Be our Atoner, That for us death He bore; Him, bleeding, dying, Who kept me at His right, When days were trying, I hold before my sight; In His wounds lying At rest, I bid good night.

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.
