The Things of the Earth in the Earth Let Us Lay

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The things of the earth in the earth let us lay; The ashes with ashes, the dust with the clay: But lift up the heart, and the eyes, and the love, O lift up the soul to the regions above! 2 Since He, the Immortal, hath entered the gate, So, too shall we mortals, or sooner or late: Then stand we on Christ; let us mark Him ascend, For His is the glory and life without end. 3 On earth with His own ones, the Giver of good, Bestowing His blessing, a little while stood; Now nothing can part us, nor distance, nor foes, For lo! He is with us, and who can oppose? 4 So, Lord, we commit this our loved one to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free: We know that through grace, when our life here is o'er, In bliss we shall be with the Lord evermore. Amen. Topics: Last Things Death and Burial Used With Tune: PAULINA

Confidence in Divine Justice

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Jehovah, my God, on Thy help I depend Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, my God, on Thy help I depend; From all that pursue me O save and defend; Lest they like a lion should rend me at will, while no one is near me their raging to still. 2 When wronged without cause I have kindness returned; But if I my neighbor maltreated and spurned, My soul let the enemy seize for his prey, My life and my honor in dust let him lay. 3 O Lord, in Thy wrath stay the rage of my foes; Awake, and Thy judgment ordained interpose. Let peoples surround Thee and wait at Thy feet, While o'er them for judgment Thou takest Thy seat. 4 All nations of men shall be judged by the Lord; To me, O Jehovah, just judgment accord, As faithful and righteous in life I have been, And ever integrity cherished within. 5 Establish the righteous, let evil depart, For God Who is just tries the tho'ts of the heart. In God for defense I have placed all my trust; The upright He saves and He judges the just. 6 The Lord with the wicked is wroth every day, And if they repent not is ready to slay; By manifold ruin for others prepared They surely at last shall themselves be ensnared. 7 Because He is righteous His praise I will sing, Thanksgiving and honor to Him I will bring, Will sing to the Lord on Whose grace I rely, Extolling the Name of Jehovah Most High.

The Burden of Dumah

Author: John R. Macduff Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The burden of Dumah! A voice out of Seir Lyrics: 1 The burden of Dumah! A voice out of Seir Cries, Tell me, O watchman! if morning be near. It cometh—it cometh! Bright gleams in the sky Proclaiming the promised redemption is nigh! 2 Soon, soon shall creation’s long midnight be done, The rest of eternity’s Sabbath begun; When, casting her weekday soiled garments away, She stands fresh appareled in vestures of day. 3 Oh! hasten, Lord! hasten this halcyon time, When earth shall exult in the bliss of her prime, The sons of the morning resuming their strain O’er Eden, restored to her glories again. 4 The morning it cometh! but also the night! Lo! visions of vengeance loom dark on the sight! The meteor of hope, with its bright beaming ray, To scorners of grace is fast dimming away. 5 Ere earth shall be girt with its red fiery flood, Or moon shall dissolve in her ocean of blood, Ere stars in their courses shall tremble and fall, The wicked in vain to the mountains shall call. 6 Great God! in Thy mercy look down from above, And touch every heart with Thy scepter of love, Lest, tears unavailing, we come to deplore That offers of grace can be tendered no more!
