When the last agony draws nigh

Author: John Andew Gramlich; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: CBWM1872 #548 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When the last agony draws nigh, My spirit sinks in bitter fear: Courage! I conquer though I die, For Christ with Death once wrestled here. Thy strife, O Christ, with death's dark power Upholds me in this fearful hour. 2 In faith I hide myself in Thee; I shall not perish in the strife; I share Thy war, Thy victory, And death is swallowed up in Life. Thy strife, O Christ, with death of yore Hath conquered, and I fear no more.

Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God

Author: Miss Winkworth; Paul Eber Hymnal: CBWM1872 #549 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true Man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the Tree, To bring Thy Father's grace for me: I pray Thee through that bitter woe, Let me, a sinner, mercy know. 2 When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death. When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear, 3 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus! come with speed, And help me in my hour of need; Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death. 4 Joyful my Resurrection be, Thou in the Judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me Life, of Thy dear grace! I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death: Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.

The things of the earth in the earth let us lay

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #552 (1890) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 The things of the earth in the earth let us lay, The ashes with ashes, the dust with the clay: But lift up the heart, and the eye, and the love, O lift up the soul to the regions above! 2 Since He, the Immortal, hath entered the gate, So too shall we mortals, or sooner or late: Then stand we on Christ; let us mark Him ascend, For His is the glory and life without end. 3 On earth with His own ones, the Giver of good, Bestowing His blessing, a little while stood: Now nothing can part us, nor distance, nor foes, For lo! He is with us, and who can oppose? 4 So, Lord, we commit this our brother to Thee, Whose body is dead, but whose spirit is free: We know that thro' grace, when our life here is done, We live still in Thee, and for ever in one. 5 All glory to Thee, Father, Spirit, and Son, Who Three art in person, in substance but One, In Whom we have victory over the grave, Who lovest Thy people to pardon and save.

At length released from many woes

Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Gottfried Neumann Hymnal: CBWM1872 #553 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 At length released from many woes, How sweetly dost thou sleep! How calm and peaceful thy repose, While Christ thy soul doth keep! 2 In earth's wide field thy body now We sow, which lifeless lies, In sure and certain hope that thou More glorious shalt arise. 3 Then rest thee in thy lowly bed, Nor shall our hearts repine. Thy toils and woes are finishéd: A happy lot is thine. 4 The Bridegroom will not long delay; The Shepherd soon will come, And take His cherished lamb away To His eternal home. 5 Blest, who have Jesus' love esteemed O'er every earthly thing; For none of all His flock redeemed Will Jesus fail to bring.

The precious seed of weeping

Author: Miss Winkworth; Charles John Spitta Hymnal: CBWM1872 #554 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 The precious seed of weeping To-day we sow once more, The form of one now sleeping, Whose pilgrimage is o'er. Ah, death but safely lands him Where we too would attain; Our Father's voice demands him, And death to him is gain. 2 He has what we are wanting, He sees what we believe; The sins on earth so haunting Have there no power to grieve; Safe in His Saviour's keeping Who sent him calm release; 'Tis only we are weeping, He dwells in perfect peace. 3 The crown of life he weareth. He bears the shining palm, The "Holy, holy," shareth, And joins the angels' psalm; But we poor pilgrims wander Still through this land of woe, Till we shall meet him yonder, And all his joy shall know.

O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet; With holy confidence to sing That Death has lost its venomed sting! 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest: No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Saviour's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! O, for me May such a blissful refuge be: Securely shall my ashes lie, And wait the summons from on high. Topics: Death and Eternity Burial; Easter Eve Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DROSTANE

Why do we mourn departing friends

Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #556 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. 2 Are we not tending upward too, As fast as time can move? Nor should we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our Love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, There hopes unfading bloom. 4 The graves of all His saints He blessed, And softened every bed: Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head? 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord our souls shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise: Awake, ye nations under ground; Ye saints, ascend the skies.

Hark! a voice divides the sky

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CBWM1872 #557 (1890) Lyrics: 1 Hark! A voice divides the sky; Happy are the faithful dead, In the Lord who sweetly die; They from all their toils are freed. 2 Them the Spirit hath declared Blest, unutterably blest; Jesus is their great Reward, Jesus is their endless Rest. 3 Followed by their works, they go Where their Head had gone before; Reconciled by grace below, Grace hath opened mercy’s door. 4 Justified through faith alone, Here they knew their sins forgiven: Here they laid their burden down, Hallowed and made meet for heaven. 5 When from flesh the spirit freed Hastens homeward to return, Mortals cry, "A man is dead!" Angels sing, "A child is born!" Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Scripture: Revelation 14:13 Languages: English Tune Title: CULBACH
