Let others boast how strong they be
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 Let others boast how strong they be,
Nor death nor danger fear;
While we'll confess, O Lord, to Thee,
What feeble things we are.
2 Fresh as the grass our bodies stand,
And flourish bright and gay;
A blasting wind sweeps o'er the land,
And fades the grass away.
3 Our life contains a thousand springs,
And dies if one be wrong;
Strange, that a harp of thousand strings
Should keep in tune so long.
4 But 'tis our God supports our frame,
The God that formed us first,
Salvation to the almighty Name
That reared us from the dust!
5 While we have breath, or life, or tongues,
Our Maker we'll adore.
His Spirit moves our heaving lungs,
Or they would breathe no more. Used With Tune: MANCHESTER
Let others boast how strong they be
Haben wir das Gute
Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Contemplation of Death and Eternity Lyrics: 1 Habe wir das gute empfangen
aus der Hand des Herrn,
warum sollten wir auch das Böse nicht leiden?
Der Herr hat es gegeben,
der Herr hat es genommen;
wie es dem Herrn gefället, so ist es geschehn,
der Name des Herrn sie gelobet.
Ich bin nackend von meiner Mutter Leibe geboren,
nackend müs ich wieder hinfahren.
2 Der Herr hat es gegeben
aus der Hand des Herrn,
warum sollten wir auch das Böse nicht leiden?
Der Herr hat es gegeben,
der Herr hat es genommen;
wie es dem Herrn gefället, so ist es geschehn,
der Name des Herrn sie gelobet.
Ich bin nackend von meiner Mutter Leibe geboren,
nackend müs ich wieder hinfahren. Scripture: Job 1:21

The Lord was crucified,
The mob stood ’round about Him,
And mocked until He died.
Two thieves were nailed beside Him,
To share the agony,
But one of them cried out to Him,
"O Lord remember me.”
Refrain:
Will the Lord remember me
When I am called to go?
When I have crossed death’s chilly sea
Will He His love there show?
O, yes, He heard my feeble cries,
From bondage set me free;
And when I reach the pearly gates,
He will remember me.
2 O, what a shame to kill Him
There on that rugged cross;
But such a death was needed
To rescue all the lost.
His blood was made a ransom
To set the captives free;
I know that I’m included and
He will remember me. [Refrain]
3 At His dear feet I’m kneeling,
My sins I now confess;
I bow in deep repentance,
My soul He’ll surely bless.
My blinded eyes He opens
So that the light I see;
And when I reach the pearly gates
He will remember me. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 23:42-43 Used With Tune: HE WILL REMEMBER ME

The new Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace,
Adorned with shining grace,
Adorned with shining grace.

And the bright armies sing:
“Mortals! behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King,
Of your descending King,
Of your descending King.

From every weeping eye;
And pains and groans and griefs and fears,
And death itself shall die,
And death itself shall die,
And death itself shall die!"

Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day,
And bring the welcome day,
And bring the welcome day.
