All Men Living Are but Mortal

Author: Johann G. Albinus; Catherine Winkworth; Unknown Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All men living are but mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass; Only through death’s gloomy portal To eternal life we pass. This frail body here must perish Ere the heav’nly love joys it cherish, Ere it gain the free reward For the ransomed of the Lord. 2. Therefore, when my God doth choose it, Willingly I’ll yield my life Nor will grieve that I should lose it, For with sorrows it was rife. In my dear Redeemer’s merit Peace hath found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort this: Jesus’ death my source of bliss. 3. Jesus for my sake descended My salvation to obtain; Death and hell for me are ended, Peace and hope are now my gain; Yea, with joy I leave earth’s sadness For the home of heav’nly gladness, Where I shall forever see God, the Holy Trinity. 4. There is joy beyond our telling, Where so many saints have gone; Thousands, thousands, there are dwelling, Worshiping before the throne, There the seraphim are shining, Evermore in chorus joining: Holy, holy, holy Lord! Triune God, for aye adored! 5. Patriarchs of sacred story And the prophets there are found; The apostles, too, in glory On twelve seats are there enthroned, All the saints that have ascended Age on age, through time extended, There in blissful concert sing Hallelujahs to their King. 6. O Jerusalem, how glorious Dost thou shine, thou city fair! Lo, I hear the tone victorious Ever sweetly sounding there. Oh, the bliss that there surprises! Lo, the sun of morn now rises, And the breaking day I see That shall never end for me. 7. Yea, I see what here was told me, See that wondrous glory shine, Feel the spotless robes enfold me, Know a golden crown is mine, Thus before the throne so glorious Now I stand a soul victorious, Gazing on that joy for aye That shall never pass away.

A Little Ship Was On The Sea

Author: Dorothy A. Thrupp Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A little ship was on the sea, It was a pretty sight; It sailed along so pleasantly, And all was calm and bright. When lo! a storm began to rise, The wind grew loud and strong; It blew the clouds across the skies, It blew the waves along. 2 And all, but One, were sore afraid Of sinking in the deep; His head was on a pillow laid, And He was fast asleep. "Master, we perish: Master, save!" They cried: their Master heard; He rose, rebuked the wind and wave, And stilled them with a word. 3 He to the storm says, "Peace, be still!" The raging billows cease; The mighty winds obey His will, And all are hushed to peace. Oh, well we know it was the Lord, Our Savior and our friend; Whose care of those who trust His word Will never, never end. 4 A noble ship, our country dear, Has weathered many a gale— Yet now a storm beats so severe That many stout hearts quail. But One who rides above the storm Can save us from all ill; We only wait to hear His voice Commanding, Peace, be still! 5 O Jesus, Master! hear, we pray Remove the chastening rod; Let not our foes exulting say, "There is no help in God." From threatening storms preserve our land, Rebuke the wind and waves; And let us, one united band, Rejoice in God, who saves. Used With Tune: MAZANDARAN

A Voice upon the Midnight Air

Author: James Martineau Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A voice upon the midnight air, Where Kedron’s moonlit waters stray, Weeps forth in agony of prayer, O Father, take this cup away. 2. Ah! Thou who sorrowest unto death, We conquer in Thy mortal fray; And earth for all her children saith, O God, take not this cup away. 3. O Lord of sorrow, meekly die: Thou’lt heal or hallow all our woe; Thy name refresh the mourner’s sigh, Thy peace revive the faint and low. 4. Great chief of faithful souls, arise, None else can lead the martyr band, Who teach the brave how peril flies, When faith, unarmed, uplifts the hand. 5. O king of earth, the cross ascend; O’er climes and ages ’tis Thy throne; Where’er Thy fading eye may bend, The desert blooms, and is Thine own. 6. Thy parting blessing, Lord, we pray; Make but one fold, below, above; And when we go the last lone way, O give the welcome of Thy love.

Auf, Auf, Mein Herz, Mit Freuden

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Auf, auf, mein Herz, mit Freuden, Nimm wahr, was heut’ geschieht! Wie kommt nach großem Leiden Nun ein so großes Licht! Mein Heiland war gelegt Da, wo man uns hinträgt, Wenn von uns unser Geist Gen Himmel ist gereist. 2 Er war ins Grab gesenket, Der Feind trieb groß Geschrei. Eh’ er’s vermeint und denket Ist Christus wieder frei Und ruft: Viktoria! Schwingt fröhlich hier und da Sein Fähnlein als ein Held, Der Feld und Mut behält. 3 Das ist mir anzuschauen Ein rechtes Freudenspiel; Nun soll mir nicht mehr grauen Vor allem, was mir will Entnehmen meinen Mut Zusamt dem edlen Gut, So mir durch Jesum Christ Aus Lieb’ erworben ist. 4 Die Höll’ und ihre Rotten, Die krümmen mir kein Haar; Der Sünden kann ich spotten, Bleib’ allzeit ohn’ Gefahr; Der Tod mit seiner Macht Wird schlecht bei mir geacht’t; Er bleibt ein totes Bild, Und wär’ er noch so wild. 5 Die Welt ist mir ein Lachen Mit ihrem großen Zorn; Sie zürnt und kann nicht machen, All’ Arbeit ist verlor’n. Die Trübsal trübt mir nicht Mein Herz und Angesicht; Das Unglück ist mein Glück, Die Nacht mein Sonnenblick. 6 Ich hang’ und bleib’ auch hangen An Christo als ein Glied; Wo mein Haupt durch ist gangen, Da nimmt er mich auch mit. Er reißet durch den Tod, Durch Welt, durch Sünd’ und Not, Er reißet durch die Höll’, Ich bin stets sein Gesell. 7 Er dringt zum Saal der Ehren, Ich folg’ ihm immer nach Und darf mich gar nicht kehren An einzig Ungemach. Es tobe, was da kann, Mein Haupt nimmt sich mein an; Mein Heiland ist mein Schild, Der alles Toben stillt. 8 Er bringt mich an die Pforten, Die in den Himmel führt, Daran mit güldnen Worten Der Reim gelesen wird: Wer dort wird mit verhöhnt, Wird hier auch mit gekrönt; Wer dort mit sterben geht, Wird hier auch mit erhöht.
