Why do we mourn departing friends

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. 2 Are we not tending upward too, As fast as time can move? Nor should we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our Love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, There hopes unfading bloom. 4 The graves of all His saints He blessed, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head? 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord our souls shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise: Awake, ye nations under ground; Ye saints, ascend the skies.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jehovah hear thee in the day when trouble he doth send; and let the name of Jacob’s God thee from all ill defend. 2 O let him help send from above, out of his sanctuary; from Zion, his own holy hill, let him give strength to thee. 3 Let him remember all thy gifts, accept thy sacrifice: 4 grant thee thine heart’s wish, and fulfil thy thoughts and counsel wise. 5 In thy salvation we will joy; in our God’s name we will display our banners: and the Lord thy prayers all fulfil. 6 Now know I God his king doth save: he from his holy heaven Will hear him, with the saving strength by his own right hand given. 7 In chariots some put confidence, on horses some rely; but we the Lord's name mention will, who is our God most high. 8 We rise and upright stand, when they are bowed down and fall. 9 Deliver, Lord; O let the King us hear, when we do call.

The Lord's my light and saving health

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord’s my light and saving health, who shall make me dismayed? My life’s strength is the Lord, of whom then shall I be afraid? 2 What time mine enemies and foes, most wicked persons all, to eat my flesh against me rose, they stumbled and did fall. 3 Against me though an host encamp, my heart yet fearless is: though war against me rise, I will be confident in this. 4 One thing I of the Lord desired, and will seek to obtain, that all days of my life I may within God’s house remain; That I the beauty of the Lord behold may and admire, and that I in his holy place may reverently enquire. 5 For he in his pavilion shall me hide in evil days; in secret of his tent me hide, and on a rock me raise. 6 And now even at this present time mine head shall lifted be above all those that are my foes, and round encompass me: then offerings of joyfulness into his house I'll bring; and I will sing unto the Lord, yea, I will praises sing. Scripture: Psalm 27:1-6 Used With Tune: DURHAM
