Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring
Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring
The loved one death has called his own;
With all our griefs to thee we cling,
For unto thee our griefs are known.
2 Thy way is best; and though we weep,
We would not break this calm repose:
Thou givest thy beloved sleep,
And thou hast willed these eyes should close.
3 Blest be the grief that closer binds
Our mourning hearts, O Lord, to thee!
Blest be the faith, in death that finds
A hope of immmortality!
4 Thus dust to dust, and earth to earth,
And ashes cold we lay away
To wait that glad, immortal birth,
The promised resurrection day. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: BARNES
Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring
Still, Still With Thee
Author: Mrs. H. B. Stowe Appears in 341 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee!
2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows,
The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee, in holy adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.
3 As in the dawning, o'er the waveless ocean,
The image of the morning star doth rest;
So in this stillness Thou beholdest only
Thine image mirrored in my peaceful breast.
4 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eye looks up to Thee in pray'r;
Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading,
But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there.
5 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
Oh, in that glad hour, fairer than day dawning,
Shall rise the glorious tho't, I am with Thee!

Though love may weep with breaking heart
Author: Anon. Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Though love may weep with breaking heart,
There comes, O Christ, a day of thine!
There is a morning star must shine,
And all those shadows shall depart.
2 Though faith may droop and tremble here,
That day of light shall surely come;
His path will lead him safely home;
When twilight breaks, the dawn is near.
3 Though hope seem now to hope in vain,
And Death, seem king of all below,
There yet shall come the morning glow,
And wake our slumbers once again. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: BARNES
