Here we commit unto the dust
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXVIII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Burials At the interring of the corpse Lyrics: 1 Here we commit unto the dust,
This body in the grave to rest;
We place this body there to lay,
Here for to moulder and decay.
2 Not here forever to remain,
For Christ will raise the dead again,
In that great day when he shall come,
To fix and settle all our doom.
3 In judgment we must all appear,
And shew how we have lived here:
Our just reward we shall receive,
Such as the righteous Judge shall give.
4 O man! be wise, learn what thou art,
Be wise and act the prudent part;
Thou canst not always here remain,
Thou must return to dust again.
5 Our days how soon they pass away,
In this vain world, how short our stay!
When all our pain and toil is past,
Then death will bear us off at last.
6 Why should we then for earthly toys,
Exchange a life of endless joys;
Should we so blind and careless be,
To trifle with eternity.
7 O Lord, in mercy grant us grace,
Teach us to number all our days,
And in thy service each to spend,
Until this mortal life we end. Languages: English
Here we commit unto the dust
Jesus, my hope and confidence
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my hope and confidence;
My Saviour, life and peace;
I know that he is my defence,
His love will never cease.
2 The long and tedious night of death,
Can't cause me to despair;
My hope my trust and living faith,
Removes all doubts and fear.
3 Jesus, my Lord, for ever lives,
And I shall live likewise;
Yes, I shall be where Jesus is,
And see him with mine eyes.
4 Why should I doubt or feel afraid,
Since Jesus is my friend;
Like members with a living hear,
With him I shall ascend
5 Like him I shall be glorified,
And worship at his throne;
And live for him who for me died,
And wholly be his own.
6 Tho' I must lay this body down,
To mingle with the clay,
Till wak'ned by the trumpet sound,
In that great solemn day.
7 then I shall be restor'd again,
And like the angels shine;
No more subject to death or pain,
Immortal and divine. Languages: English
Jesus, my hope and confidence
Now my departure is at hand
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 Now my departure is at hand;
From hence I must remove!
To join the bless'd celestial band
In the bright realms above.
2 My warfare and contests are o'er,
And I can welcome death;
In spite of sin and Satan's pow'r,
I fought and kept the faith.
3 And thus I finished my course,
And passed safely through;
My Lord who conquers ev'ry force,
Made me to conquer too.
4 My conflicts and debates are pass'd,
And my salvation seal'd;
My victories are gain'd at last,
Now as I quit the field.
5 The crown of life laid up for me:
And all who love the Lord;
For all my suff'rings here shall be
A gracious great reward. Languages: English
Now my departure is at hand
Our days on earth are sad and few
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXIV (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 Our days on earth are sad and few,
Distress'd on ev'ry side;
In all our lives we find it true;
This cannot be denied.
2 The age of three score years and ten,
An age that few do live;
But sorrow, trouble, grief and pain,
Is all that age can give.
3 Why should it be our chief concern,
To grasp at shaddows here;
Much greater lessons could we learn,
To make up happy there.
4 We know that we are born to die;
Was all the world our own:
Yet swift our precious moments fly,
And quickly we are gone.
5 May God be pleas'd to grant us grace,
And make us wise to know,
That we may seek a better place,
Than all this world below. Languages: English
Our days on earth are sad and few
Real christians need not fear to die
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 Real christians need not fear to die,
Or to depart from here;
Since death bears them to God on high!
Where their great treasures are.
2 No pain or groan, or dying strife,
Should fright their souls away;
Since they shall find a better life
Soon as they leave this clay.
3 Let me depart my Lord! to meet
And stretch my feeble hands:
And grasp the joys that are complete
In yonder happy lands.
4 Then let me bow my dying head
Into the arms of death!
And rest in Christ my dying bed,
And breathe my latest breath. Languages: English
Real christians need not fear to die
This body in the grave is laid
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXIX (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials At the interring of the corpse Lyrics: 1 This body in the grave is laid,
Here to return to dust:
As God to father Adam said,
That all our bodies must.
2 Not here forever to remain,
For Christ himself shall come,
And call the dead to live again,
And raise them from the tomb.
3 The graves must all give up their dead,
And ev'ry other place;
God's great commands must be obey'd,
And all the dead must raise.
4 All must appear before their Lord,
And their just sentence hear;
Likwise receive their just reward,
Such as their actions were.
5 May we be wise while here we live:
O may we seek and try,
And take advice, as Christ doth give,
To live and learn to die.
6 How swift our precious moments pass,
How soon our days are fled;
Prepar'd, or unprepar'd, alas!
We're number'd with the dead.
7 O careless man be wise and think,
What will become of thee:
Who now art standing on the brink,
Of vast eternity.
Languages: English
This body in the grave is laid
Ye careless sons of men be wise!
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXII (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 Ye careless sons of men be wise!
Here view the corpse before your eyes;
The soul has left the house of clay,
And some where else she has her stay.
2 The world of spirits is her home,
There to remain till Christ shall come
To raise the body from the dust:
That of the wicked and the just.
3 The body laid into the tomb,
Has its remote and silent home;
Where darkness and destruction reign,
Till it is rais'd to life again.
4 But O, the soul that never dies,
Still waiting till the body rise;
Shall meet and join her former mate,
And share their everlasting ate.
5 How happy must such meeting be,
To meet the Saviour and to see:
That by her merits and his grace,
They find a better home and place.
6 But O, how gloomy is the thought!
To think that sinners must be brought
To stand and hear the Saviour say:
Depart from me, ye curs'd away.
7 Ye living then come take a view,
Remember ye are mortals too;
Seek ye the Lord and watch and pray!
Be ready for your dying day. Languages: English
Ye careless sons of men be wise!
To live in Christ is life indeed
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Burials Lyrics: 1 To live in Christ is life indeed,
And so to die is gain;
Since by his death my soul is freed
From sin and endless pain.
2 My soul desires with him to be,
And see him as he is;
That grace which he bestows on me,
Confirms that I am his.
3 I harbour neither doubt nor fear,
That I shall be deceiv'd;
And I shall see my Saviour there,
In whom I here believ'd.
4 Tho' here I bear the Cross a while,
And suffer with my Lord;
For all my labour pain and toil,
He will be my reward.
5 When he shall raise me from the dust,
And fashion me anew;
And be permitted with the just:
His face in heav'n to view. Languages: English
To live in Christ is life indeed
