Great God, I own thy sentence just

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #937 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Great God, I own thy sentence just, And nature must decay; I yield my body to the dust, To dwell with fellow clay. 2 Yet faith may triumph o'er the grave, And trample on the tombs; My great Redeemer ever lives, My God, my Saviour, comes. 3 The mighty conqueror shall appear, High on a royal seat; And death, the last of all our foes, Lie vanquished at his feet. 4 Then shall I see thy lovely face With strong, immortal eyes, And feast upon thy wondrous grace With pleasure and surprise.

Behold the western evening light!

Author: William B. O. Peabody Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #938 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light! It melts in deepening gloom; So calmly Christians sink away, Descending to the tomb. 2 The winds breathe low, the yellow leaf Scarce whispers from the tree; So gently flows the parting breath When good men cease to be. 3 How mildly on the wandering cloud The sunset beam is cast! So sweet the memory left behind When loved ones breathe their last. 4 And lo! above the dews of night The vesper star appears; So faith lights up the mourner's heart, Whose eyes are dim with tears. 5 Night falls, but soon the morning light Its glories shall restore; And thus the eyes that sleep in death, Shall wake to close no more.

When the last trumpet's awful voice

Author: William Cameron Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #939 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When the last trumpet's awful voice This rending earth shall shake, When opening graves shall yield their charge, And dust to life awake, 2 Those bodies that corrupted fell, Shall incorrupt arise, And mortal forms shall spring to life Immortal in the skies. 3 Behold, what heavenly prophets sung Is now at last fulfilled; And Death yields up his ancient reign, And, vanquished, quits the field. 4 Let Faith exalt her joyful voice, And now in triumph sing: O Grave, where is thy victory? And where, O Death, thy sting? Topics: Death and Resurrection Tune Title: CHINA

Unconscious now in peaceful sleep

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #940 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Unconscious now in peaceful sleep, From all her cares at rest, While friends around are called to weep She is divinely blessed. 2 Away from Satan's tempting snare, Her faith's no longer tried: In Jesus she is sleeping there; For in bright hope she died.
