When Saints Gather Round Thee

Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: When saints gather round Thee, dear Savior, above Lyrics: 1. When saints gather round Thee, dear Savior, above, And hasten to crown Thee with jewels of love, Amid those bright mansions of glory so fair— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there. 2. When those who have labored and struggled to save Their loved ones from sorrow beyond the dark grave, Are bringing the treasures they gathered with care— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there. 3. When life’s dreary billows are spent on the shore Beyond the dark river, and time is no more, When bright palms of glory the victors shall bear— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there. 4. And when in bright garments Thy children shall stand, A crown on each forehead, a harp in each hand, And sing of the joys Thou hast gone to prepare— Oh, grant, dearest Savior, that I may be there.

The things of the earth in the earth let us lay

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 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 eye, and the love, Oh, 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 brother to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free: We know that through grace, when our life here is done, We live still in Thee, and forever in one. 5 All glory to Thee, Father, Spirit, and Son, Who three art in person, in substance but one, In whom we have victory over the grave, Who lovest Thy people to pardon and save. Amen. Topics: Burial; Funerals Used With Tune: WALLACE
