Today I live, one day shall come my death
Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #725 (2008) Meter: 10.11.10.11 Lyrics: 1 Today I live, one day shall come my death;
one day shall still my laughter and my crying,
bring to a halt my heartbeat and my breath:
Oh, give me faith for living and for dying.
2 How I shall die, or when, I do not know,
nor where, for endless is the world's horizon;
but save me, God, from thoughts that lay me low,
from morbid fears that freeze my power of reason.
3 When earthly life shall close, as close it must,
let Jesus be my brother and my merit.
Let me without regret recall the past,
and then, into your hands commit my spirit.
4 Meanwhile I live and move and I am glad,
enjoy this life and all its interweaving
each given day, as I take up the thread,
let love suggest my mode, my mood of living. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Trust Scripture: 2 John 5-6 Languages: English Tune Title: ROBERT

In the bulb there is a flower
Author: Natalie Allyn Wakeley Sleeth (1930-1992) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #727 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness,
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future,
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Change; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Spring; Winter Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN OF PROMISE

God of the living, in whose eyes
Author: John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #728 (2008) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of the living, in whose eyes
unveiled your whole creation lies,
all souls are yours; we must not say
that those are dead who pass away;
for we believe and know it true,
our dead are living, Lord, with you.
2 Released from earthly toil and strife,
with you is hidden still their life;
yours are their thoughts, their works, their powers,
all yours, and yet most surely ours;
for we believe and know it true,
our dead are living, Lord, with you. Topics: The Holy Spirit The Church Celebrates - Death and Grieving; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Trust Scripture: Luke 20:37-38 Languages: English Tune Title: TYNEMOUTH (ST. CATHERINE'S)

From the falter of breath
When grief is raw and music goes unheard
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Hymnal: HGSP2008 #731 (2008) Lyrics: 1 When grief is raw and music goes unheard,
and thought is numb,
we have no polished phrases to recite.
In Christ we come
to hear the old familiar words:
'I am the resurrection. I am life'.
2 God, give us time for gratitude and tears,
and make us free
to grieve, remember, honour, and delight.
Let love be strong
to bear regrets and banish fears:
'I am the resurrection. I am life'.
3 The height and breadth of all that love prepares
soars out of time,
beyond our speculation and our sight.
The cross remains
to ground the promise that it bears:
'I am the resurrection. I am life'.
4 All shall be judged, the greatest and the least,
and all be loved,
till every hurt is healed, all wrong set right.
In bread and wine
we taste the great homecoming feast,
and in the midst of death we are in life. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Grief; Jesus Teaching Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Languages: English
