Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Author: William Meinhold, d. 1851; Miss Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Now Thy little lamb's brief weeping;
Ah how peaceful, pale, and mild,
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping!
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
2 In this world of sin and pain,
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;:
To the sunny heavenly plain
Dost Thou now with joy receive it.
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light.
3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we
Where it lives may soon be living,
And the lovely pastures see
That its heavenly food are giving;
Then the gain of death we'll prove,
Though Thou take what most we love. Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Hearts to heav'n and voices raise;
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise;
He who on the cross a victim
For the world's salvation bled--
Jesus Christ, the King of Glory,
Now is risen from the dead.

A Pilgrim and a Stranger
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane Borthwick Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger,
I journey here below;
Far distant is my country,
The home to which I go.
Here I must toil and travail,
Oft weary and opprest,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 I've met with storms and danger
E'en from my early years,
With enemies and conflicts,
With fightings and with fears.
There's nothing here that tempts me
To wish a longer stay,
So I must hasten forward,
No halting or delay.
3 It is a well-worn pathway;
A host has gone before,
The holy saints and prophets,
The patriarchs of yore.
They trod the toilsome journey
In patience and in faith;
And them I fain would follow,
Like them in life and death.
4 Who would share Abraham's blessing
Must Abraham's path pursue,
A stranger and a pilgrim,
Like him, must journey thro'.
The foes must be encountered,
The dangers must be passed;
A faithful soldier only
Receives the crown at last.
5 So I must hasten forward--
Thank God, the end will come!
This land of passing shadows
Is not my destined home.
That evermore abideth,
The everlasting city,
Jerusalem above,
This evermore abideth,
The home of light and love.
6 There still my thoughts are dwelling,
'Tis there I long to be;
Come, Lord, and call Thy servant
To blessedness with Thee.
Come, bid my toils be ended,
Let all my wand'rings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To Thy sweet home of peace.
7 There I shall dwell forever,
No more a parting guest,
With all Thy blood-bought children
In everlasting rest,
The pilgrim toils forgotten,
The pilgrim conflicts o'er,
All earthly griefs behind me,
Eternal joys before.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:12 Used With Tune: HERZLICH TUT MICH
