God bless our native land!
Author: Charles T. Brooks Hymnal: BWHT1899 #559 (1899) Lyrics: 1 God bless our native land!
Firm may she ever stand,
Through storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of winds and wave,
Do Thou our country save
By Thy great might.
2 For her our prayers shall rise
To God, above the skies;
On Him we wait;
Thou Who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To Thee aloud we cry,
God save the State.
Amen.

God bless our native land!
Dread Jehovah! God of nations!
Hymnal: BWHT1899 #560 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Dread Jehovah! God of nations!
From Thy temple in the skies,
Hear Thy people's supplications;
Now for their deliverance rise.
2 Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding,
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
3 Let that love veil our transgression,
Let that blood our guilt efface,
Save Thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil Thy holy place.
4 Lo! with deep contrition turning,
Humbly at Thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning,
Hear us, spare us, and defend.
Amen.

It is not death to die
Author: George W. Bethune; Caesar Malan Hymnal: BWHT1899 #561 (1899) Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And 'midst the brotherhood on high
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
4 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise, on strong, exulting wing,
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, Thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot die!
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with Thee on high.
Amen. Topics: Death Confidence in; Death Conquered; Funerals; Immortality Languages: English Tune Title: GREENWOOD
It is not death to die
No, no, it is not dying
Author: Robinson P. Dunn; Caesar Malan Hymnal: BWHT1899 #562 (1899) Meter: 7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 No, no, it is not dying,
To go unto our God;
This gloomy earth forsaking,
Our journey homeward taking
Along the starry road.
2 No, no, it is not dying
Heaven's citizen to be;
A crown immortal wearing,
And rest unbroken sharing,
From care and conflict free.
3 No, no, it is not dying
The Shepherd's voice to know:
His sheep He ever leadeth,
His peaceful flock He feedeth,
Where living pastures grow.
4 No, no it is not dying
To wear a lordly crown;
Among God's people dwelling,
The glorious triumph swelling
Of Him whose sway we own.
5 Oh, no, this is not dying,
Thou Saviour of mankind!
There streams of love are flowing,
No hindrance ever knowing:
Here only drops we find.
Amen. Topics: Death Confidence in; Death Conquered; Funerals; Immortality Languages: English Tune Title: ENOS
No, no, it is not dying
One sweetly solemn thought
Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: BWHT1899 #563 (1899) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home today
Than e'er I've been before;
2 Nearer the Father's house,
Where many mansions be,
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer leaving the cross of grief,
Nearer gaining the crown.
4 But lying darkly between,
And winding through the night,
Flows on the deep and unknown stream,
That leads me to the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the hand of my faith,
And be Thou near me when I stand
Upon the shore of death.
Amen. Topics: Death Confidence in; Funerals; Today Languages: English Tune Title: SUNSET
One sweetly solemn thought
Who knows how near my end may be?
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Countess Emilia Juliana Hymnal: BWHT1899 #564 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my end may be?
Time speeds away, and death comes on.
How swiftly, ah, how suddenly,
May death be here, and life be gone!
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
2 O Father, cover all my sins
With Jesus' merits, who alone
The pardon that I covet wins,
And makes His long-sought Rest my own.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
3 Then death may come or tarry yet;
I know in Christ I perish not.
He never will His own forget;
He gives me robes without a spot.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
4 And thus I live in God at peace,
And die without a thought of fear,
Content to take what God decrees,
For through His Son my faith is clear;
His grace shall be in death my stay,
And peace shall bless my dying day.
Amen. Topics: Death Anticipated; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
Who knows how near my end may be?
I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
Author: William A. Muhlenberg Hymnal: BWHT1899 #565 (1899) Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
Where storm after storm rises dark o'er our way;
The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here
Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer.
2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin;
Temptation without and corruption within:
E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears,
And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears.
3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb:
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom;
There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise
To hail Him in triumph descending the skies.
4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God;
Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode,
Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains,
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns?
5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their Saviour and brethren, transported to greet:
While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll,
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.
Amen. Topics: Death Confidence in; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: FREDERICK
I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
They come, God's messengers of love
Author: Robert Campbell Hymnal: BWHT1899 #566 (1899) Lyrics: 1 They come, God’s messengers of love,
They come from realms of peace above,
From homes of never-fading light,
From blissful mansions ever bright.
2 They come to watch around us here,
To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear:
And whisper to the willing heart,
"O Christian soul, in peace depart."
3 Blest Jesus, Thou whose groans and tears
Have sanctified frail nature’s fears,
To earth in bitter sorrow weighed,
Thou didst not scorn Thine angel’s aid.
4 An angel guard to us supply,
When on the bed of death we lie;
And by Thine own almighty power,
Oh, shield us in the last dread hour.
Amen. Topics: Death Confidence in; Death of Christians; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: ERNAN
They come, God's messengers of love
How blest the righteous when he dies!
Author: Anna L. Barbauld Hymnal: BWHT1899 #567 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies!
When sinks a weary soul to rest!
How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves t'expiring breast!
2 So fades a summer cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er;
So gently shuts the eye of day;
So dies a wave along the shore.
3 A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And nought disturbs that peace profound
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
4 Life’s labor done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say,
“How blest the righteous when he dies!”
Amen. Topics: Death of Christians; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: STELLA
How blest the righteous when he dies!
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
Author: Margaret Mackay Hymnal: BWHT1899 #568 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! oh, how sweet,
To be for such a slumber meet;
With holy confidence to sing
That Death has lost his 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! oh, for me
May such a blissful refuge be:
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.
5 Asleep in Jesus! time nor space
Affects this precious hiding-place:
On Indian plains or Lapland snows
Believers find the same repose.
Amen. Topics: Death Conquered; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: REST
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep
