For me to live is Jesus

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #433 (1908) Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus, For me to die is gain; To Christ I gladly yield me, And pass where He has lain. 2 I hence go with rejoicing To Christ, my Brother's side, That I may soon be with Him, And e'er with Him abide. 3 I have o'ercome life's crosses, Endured the chastening rod; And through His five wounds holy I am at peace with God. 4 When all my powers are breaking, My breath comes heavily, And not a word can utter, O hear my sighs to Thee! 5 When mind and though with faintness But waver yet about, E'en as a light that flickers Just as the flame goes out; 6 Then let me softly, gently, Lord, fall asleep in Thee, When by Thy will and counsel My last hour comes to me; 7 And let me cleave unto Thee With ivy's searching hold, And ever live, Lord, with Thee In bliss of heaven untold. 8 Amen! this will Thou, Savior, Grant graciously to me; Endow me with Thy Spirit That blest I pass to Thee!

Author: Josua Stegmann, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #8 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, Lord Jesus! Thy grace sustain our hearts, That Satan may not harm us, With his malignant arts. 2 Abide with the assurance Of Thy redeeming Word, That peace, now and hereafter, Be ours through Thee, O Lord. 3 Abide, and with Thy radiance Cheer us, resplendent Light; Thy truth direct, and keep us From error's gloomy night. 4 Abide, and let Thy blessing, Lord, rest on us always, All needful strength and graces Grant thou us day by day. 5 Abide, be Thy protection Our safety, tower and shield, Lest world and Satan fell us, And drive us from the field. 6 Abide then with us, Savior! Our constant, faithful Friend: Grant steadfastness and patience, And vict'ry in the end. Amen.

For Me To Live Is Jesus

Author: Simon Graf; H. Brueckner Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #295 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 For me to live is Jesus, For me to die is gain: I yield to Him most gladly And leave this world of pain. 2 In peace this life departing, To yonder realms I soar, That I with Christ, my Brother, May dwell for evermore. 3 My toil and cares are ended, My troubles all must cease, For in Thy wounds, O Jesus, My soul has found its peace. 4 Then let me close mine eyelids And fall asleep in Thee; Let Thy good will and counsel Be thus fulfilled in me. 5 As to the oak the ivy, So let me cleave to Thee, And in those heavenly mansions May I Thy glory see. 6 Amen! this do Thou grant me, O gracious Savior mine! Vouchsafe to me Thy Spirit, Make me forever Thine. Topics: The Christian Life Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: HEIDELBERG
