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

Wake, awake, for night is flying

Author: Ph. Nicolai Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Death And Eternity Lyrics: 1. WAKE, awake, for night is flying, The watchmen on the heights are crying: Awake, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight hears the welcome voices, And at the thrilling cry rejoices; O where are ye, ye virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes, awake! Your lamps with gladness take! Hallelujah! With bridal care Yourselves prepare To meet the Bridegroom, who is near! 2. Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is ris'n, her Light is come! Now come Thou Blessed One, Lord Jesus, God's own Son, Hail! Hosanna! The joyful call We answer all, And follow to the nuptial hall. 3. Glory unto Thee be given, By men and by the host of heaven, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round Thy dazzling throne. Nor eye hath seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear Such great glory; Therefore will we Eternally Sing hymns of joy and praise to Thee.
