When my last hour is close at hand
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 30 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
My last sad journey taken,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus, by me stand,
Let me not be forsaken.
O Lord, my spirit I resign
Into Thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within Thy keeping.
2 My sins, O Lord, distress me sore,
My conscience cannot slumber;
Yet, though as sands upon the shore
My sins may be in number,
I will not quail, but think of Thee,
Thy death, Thy sorrows borne for me,
And thus find strength and comfort.
3 Since Thou from death didst rise again,
In death Thou wilt not leave me;
Lord, Thy ascension soothes my pain,
No fear of death shall grieve me:
For Thou wilt have me where Thou art,
And thus with joy I can depart,
To be with Thee forever.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending,
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal. Used With Tune: WHEN MY LAST HOUR IS CLOSE AT HAND
When my last hour is close at hand
When my last hour is close at hand
Author: Edgar Alfred Bowring; Nikolaus Hermann Appears in 14 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
My last sad journey taken,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand,
Let me not be forsaken.
O Lord, my spirit I resign
Into Thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within Thy keeping.
2 Countless as sands upon the shore,
My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me:
For as I draw my latest breath,
I'll think, Lord Christ! upon Thy Death,
And there find consolation.
3 I shall not in the grave remain,
Since Thou death's bonds hast severed;
But hope with Thee to rise again,
From fear of death delivered,
For where Thou art, there I shall be.
That I may ever live with Thee:
This is my joy in dying.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending,
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal. Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death; Easter Eve; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN VORHANDEN IST
When my last hour is close at hand
Naar Tid og Stund den er for Haand
Author: H. Thomissøn; N. Herman Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Naar Tid og Stund den er for Haand,
At jeg min Vei skal fare,
Herre Jesu Krist, min Frelsermand,
Du vilde mig bevare!
Udi din Haand jeg giver dig
Min arme Sjæl, forlad ei mig,
Frels mig fra Dødsens Snare!
2 Min Synd med Sorg mig tynger svær,
Samvittighedens Pile
Som Havets Sand mangfoldig er,
Dog vil jeg ikke tvile,
Men tænke trolig, Jesu sød,
Paa dine Saar og paa din Død,
Paa dem saa vil jeg hvile.
3 Dit Legems Lem er jeg forsand,
Det er min Hjertens Glæde,
Fra dig jeg ikke skilles kan,
Er end min Død tilstede;
Om jeg end dør, da dør jeg dig,
Det evig' Liv du vilde mig
Dyrt ved din Død berede.
4 Fordi at du opstanden est,
I Graven jeg ei bliver,
Din Himmelfart mig trøster mest,
Og al Døds-Frygt fordriver,
Og der, du er, jeg kommer did,
At bo hos dig til evig Tid,
Thi dør jeg glad'lig, Amen. Topics: Tjuefjerde Søndag efter Trefoldigheds Fest Til Høimesse; Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity Sunday High Mass Used With Tune: [Naar Tid og Stund den er for Haand]

On this new road, I'm now about
Across the sky the shades of night
Author: Jas. Hamilton Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 29 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night
This winter's eve are fleeting:
We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light,
In solemn worship meeting:
And as the year's last hours go by,
We lift to Thee our earnest cry,
Once more Thy love entreating.
2 Before the cross, subdued we bow,
To Thee our prayers addressing;
Recounting all Thy mercies now,
And all our sins confessing;
Beseeching Thee, this coming year,
To hold us in Thy faith and fear,
And crown us with Thy blessing.
3 And while we pray we lift our eyes
To dear ones gone before us,
Safe housed with Thee in Paradise,
Whose peace descendeth o'er us:
And beg of Thee, when life is past,
To re-unite us all, at last,
And to our lost restore us.
4 We gather up, in this brief hour,
The memory of Thy mercies:
Thy wondrous goodness, love, and power,
Our grateful song rehearses:
For Thou hast been our strength and stay,
In many a dark and dreary day
Of sorrow and reverses.
5 In many an hour, when fear and dread,
Like evil spells have bound us,
And clouds were gathering overhead,
Thy providence hath found us:
In many a night when waves ran high,
Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh
Hath made all calm around us.
6 Then, O Great God, in years to come,
Whatever fate betide us,
Right onward through our journey home
Be Thou at hand to guide us:
Nor leave us till, at close of life,
Safe from all perils, toil, and strife,
Heaven shall unfold and hide us. Topics: The Church Year New Year's Eve; The Church Year New Year's Eve Used With Tune: [Across the sky the shades of night]

The Lord of might, from Sinai's brow
Author: H. Heber Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The Lord of might, from Sinai’s brow,
Gave forth His voice of thunder;
And Israel lay on earth below,
Outstretched in fear and wonder;
Beneath His feet was pitchy night,
And at His left hand and His right,
The rocks were rent asunder.
2 The Lord of love, on Calvary,
A meek and suffering stranger,
Upraised to Heaven His languid eye,
In nature’s hour of danger;
For us He bore the weight of woe,
For us He gave His blood to flow,
And met His Father’s anger.
3 The Lord of love, the Lord of might,
The King of all created,
Shall back return to claim His right,
On clouds of glory seated;
With trumpet-sound and angel-song,
And Hallelujahs loud and long,
O’er death and hell defeated! Topics: The Church Year Good Friday; The Church Year Good Friday Used With Tune: [The Lord of might, from Sinai's brow]
