Oh, How Blest Are You

Author: Simon Dach, 1605-59; Henry W. Longfellow, 1807-92 Meter: 10.10.5.10 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Oh, how blest are you whose toils are ended Lyrics: 1 Oh, how blest are you whose toils are ended, Who through death have to our God ascended! You have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 We are still as in a dungeon living, Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving; Our undertakings Are but toils and troubles and heartbreakings. 3 You meanwhile are in their chambers sleeping, Quiet and set free from all our weeping; No cross or sadness There can hinder your untroubled gladness. 4 Christ has wiped away your tears forever; You have that for which we still endeavor; To you are chanted Songs that to no mortal ear were granted. 5 Ah, who would, then, not depart with gladness To inherit heav'n for earthly sadness? Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 6 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With you, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: Death and Burial Used With Tune: O WIE SELIG
