Let us partake Thy death, that we May enter into Life with Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Eve Used With Tune: CONSTANCE Text Sources: Based on a Latin Hymn, XIV Century

Ye Servants of Our Glorious King

Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Ye servants of our glorious king, To Him your thankful praises bring; And tell the deeds that grace has done, The triumphs by His martyrs won. 2. Since they were faithful to the last, Their holy struggles now are past; The bitterness of death is o’er, And theirs is bliss forevermore. 3. The flame might scorch, the knife lay bare, And cruel beasts their members tear; No powers of earth, no powers of hell The souls that loved their Lord could quell. 4. Forever broken is the chain That sought to bind them, but in vain; O let us strive like them to win Our freedom from the bonds of sin. 5. O Savior, may our portion be With those who gave themselves to Thee, Through all eternity to sing All praise to Thee, the martyrs’ king.

How Blest the Righteous When he Dies

Author: Mrs. Anna Laetitia Barbauld, 1743-1808 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 466 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: How blest the righteous when he dies! Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies! When sinks a weary soul to rest! How mildly beam the closing eyes! How gently heaves th’expiring breast! 2 A holy quiet reigns around, A calm which life nor death destroys; And naught disturbs that peace profound Which his unfettered soul enjoys. 3 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears, Where lights and shades alternate dwell; How bright the unchanging morn appears! Farewell, inconstant world, farewell! 4 Life’s labor done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies, While heaven and earth combine to say, "How blest the righteous when He dies!" Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: CONSTANCE
