Which shall not through endless ages, Pass away! 7 On that happy Easter morning All the graves their dead restore, Father, sister, child and mother, Meet once more. 8 To that brightest of all meetings, Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last; To Thy cross, through death and judgment, Holding fast.

Not spilt like water on the ground, Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound, Not wandering in unknown despair Beyond thy voice, thine arm, thy care; Not left to lie like fallen tree; Not dead, but living unto thee. Thy word is true, thy will is just; To thee we leave them, Lord, in trust; And bless thee for the love which gave Thy Son to fill a human grave, That none might fear that world to see Where all are living unto thee. 374 O Breather into man of breath, O Holder of the keys of death, O Giver of the life within, Save us from death, the death of sin; That body, soul, and spirit be For ever living unto thee!

God of the living, in Whose eyes

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal #410b (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Burial of the Dead Lyrics: God of the living, in whose eyes Unveiled thy whole creation lies, All souls are thine; we must not say That those are dead who pass away, From this our world of flesh set free; We know them living unto thee. Released from earthly toil and strife, With thee is hidden still their life; Thine are their thoughts, their works, their powers, All thine, and yet most truly ours, For well we know, where'er they be, Our dead are living unto thee. Not spilt like water on the ground, Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound, Not wandering in unknown despair Beyond thy voice, thine arm, thy care; Not left to lie like fallen tree; Not dead, but living unto thee. Thy word is true, thy will is just; To thee we leave them, Lord, in trust; And bless thee for the love which gave Thy Son to fill a human grave, That none might fear that world to see Where all are living unto thee. 374 O Breather into man of breath, O Holder of the keys of death, O Giver of the life within, Save us from death, the death of sin; That body, soul, and spirit be For ever living unto thee! Amen. Tune Title: OLD ONE HUNDRED TWELFTH

I, too, unto life must waken; He will have me where he is. Shall my courage then, be shaken? Shall I fear? Or could the Head Rise and leave his members dead? A-men. 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto him by hope for ever; Faith's strong hand the rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 Saviour, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow, Let us there with thee have part, Here on earth thy footsteps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT (RATISBON)

Sing, with all the sons of glory

Dr. Irons Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #124 (1894) Meter: 8.7 D Topics: Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 Sing, with all the sons of glory, Sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth's dark story, To the "former days" belong. Even now the dawn is breaking, Soon the night of time shall cease, And, in God's own likeness waking, Man shall know eternal peace. 2 Oh, what glory, far exceeding All that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits; Every humble spirit shares it; Christ has passed the eternal gates. 3 "Life eternal!" Heaven rejoices; Jesus lives Who once was dead; Join, O man, the deathless voices; Child of God lift up thy head. Patriarchs from distant ages, Saints all longing for their heaven, Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, All await the glory given. 4 "Life eternal!" Oh, what wonders Crowd on faith--what joy unknown, When, amidst earth's closing thunders, Saints shall stand before the throne! Oh! to enter that bright portal, See that glowing firmament, Know, with Thee, O God immortal, "Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent!" Amen.
