My days are gliding swiftly by

Author: David Nelson Hymnal: BWHT1899 #569 (1899) Lyrics: 1 My days are gliding swiftly by, And I, a pilgrim stranger, Would not detain them as the fly, Those hours of toil and danger: Refrain: For now we stand on Jordan's strand; Our friends are passing over; And, just before, the shining shore We may almost discover. 2 Our absent King the watchword gave, "Let every lamp be burning;" We look afar across the wave, Our distant home discerning. [Refrain] 3 Should coming days be dark and cold, We will not yield to sorrow, For hope will sing with courage bold, "There's glory on the morrow." [Refrain] 4 Let storms of woe in whirlwinds rise, Each chord on earth to sever, There--bright and joyous in the skies-- There is our home forever. [Refrain] Amen.

Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann W. Meinhold Hymnal: BWHT1899 #570 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Tender 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 care 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 once 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. Amen. Topics: Death Of Children; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: MEINHOLD

Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding

Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: BWHT1899 #571 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O’er the spoils that death has won, We would, at this solemn meeting, Calmly say--Thy will be done. 2 Though cast down, we’re not forsaken, Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give, and Thou hast taken; Blessèd Lord--Thy will be done. 3 Though to-day we’re filled with mourning, Mercy still is on the throne; With Thy smiles and love returning, We can sing--Thy will be done. 4 By Thy hands the boon was given, Thou hast taken but Thine own; Lord of earth, and God of heaven, Evermore--Thy will be done. Amen. Topics: Death Of Children; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: MOUNT VERNON

The things of the earth in the earth let us lay

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: BWHT1899 #572 (1899) 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, Oh, 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 through grace, when our life here is done, We live still in Thee, and forever 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. Amen. Topics: Burial; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: WALLACE

Why do we mourn departing friends?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #573 (1899) 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 would 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, His light dispelled its gloom. 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. Amen. Topics: Burial; Funerals Languages: English Tune Title: MEAR

Friend after friend departs

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: BWHT1899 #574 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Friend after friend departs: Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end: Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. 2 Beyond the flight of time, Beyond the reign of death, There surely is some blessèd clime, Where life is not a breath, Nor life's affections, transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward to expire. 3 There is a world above, Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love Formed for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that glorious sphere. 4 Thus star by star declines, Till all are passed away; As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night, But hide themselves in heaven's own light. Amen. Topics: Burial; Funerals; Immortality Languages: English Tune Title: DWIGHT

The Judge of quick and dead

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: BWHT1899 #576 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead, Before whose bar severe, With holy joy, or guilty dread, We all shall soon appear: 2 Our anxious souls prepare For that tremendous day; And fill us now with watchful care, And stir us up to pray: 3 To pray, and wait the hour, That awful hour unknown, When, robed in majesty and power, Thou shalt from heaven come down. 4 Oh, may we all be found Obedient to Thy Word-- Attentive to the trumpet’s sound, And looking for our Lord! 5 Oh, may we thus ensure A lot among the blest; And watch a moment, to secure An everlasting rest!

Day of judgment--day of wonders

Author: John Newton Hymnal: BWHT1899 #577 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment--day of wonders Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons Will the sinner's heart confound. 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for His appearing Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Saviour! Own me in that day for Thine! 3 At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By His look, prepare to flee: Careless sinner! What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessèd, Loved and served the Lord below, He will say, "Come near, ye blessed! See the kingdom I bestow! You forever Shall my love and glory know." Amen. Topics: Christ Judge; Day of Wrath; Judgment; Wrath Of God Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AUSTIN
