And am I born to die?
Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #281 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown,
2.
A land of deepest shade,
Unpierced by human thought,
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot?
3.
Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be:
4.
Waked by the trumpet's sound,
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!
5.
How shall I leave my tomb?
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom,
A curse or blessing meet?
6.
Will angel bands convey
Their brother to the bar?
Or devils drag my soul away,
To meet its sentence there?
7.
Who can resolve the doubt
That tears my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damned cast out,
Or numbered with the blest?
8.
I must from God be driven,
Or with my Savior dwell;
Must come at his command to heaven,
Or else—depart to hell!

Stretched On The Bed Of Grief
Author: Timothy Dwight Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12643 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Stretched on the bed of grief,
In silence long I lay;
For sore disease and wasting pain
Had worn my strength away.
2 Just o’er the grave I hung;
No pardon met my eyes;
As blessings never greet the slain,
And hope shall never rise.
3 Sweet mercy to my soul
Revealed no charming ray;
Before me rose a long, dark night,
With no succeeding day.
4 I saw beyond the tomb,
The awful Judge appear
Prepared to scan with strict account
My blessings wasted here.
5 Then O how vain appeared
The joys beneath the sky!
Like visions past, like flowers that blow,
When wintry storms are nigh.
6 How mourned my sinking soul
The Sabbath’s hours divine,
The day of grace, that precious day;
Consumed in sense and sin.
7 Then to the Lord I prayed,
And raised a bitter cry—
Hear me, O God, and save my soul,
Lest I forever die.
8 He heard my humble cry;
He saved my soul from death;
To Him I’ll give my heart and hands,
And consecrate my breath.
9 Ye sinners, fear the Lord,
While yet ’tis called today:
Soon will the awful voice of death
Command your souls away.
10 Soon will the harvest close;
The summer soon be o’er;
And soon your injured, angry God
Will hear your prayers no more Languages: English Tune Title: AYLESBURY
Stretched On The Bed Of Grief
My Home
Author: James Korris Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13703 Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Far from my native land Lyrics: 1 Far from my native land,
In solitude I roam;
Nor do I find a resting place
That I can call my own.
2 Out on life’s troubled sea,
Dark waters round me roll;
Increasing fears that sometimes rise,
Bring sorrow to my soul.
3 Is there no other land?
No other scenes of joy?
No rock on which my feet shall stand
And find more sure employ?
4 Yes, there’s another land,
Where sorrows are unknown;
And on its shores I soon shall stand,
And Heav’n shall be my home.
5 Cease, cease, my troubled soul;
This storm will soon be past
And, when my weary toils are o’er,
I’ll wear a crown at last. Languages: English Tune Title: AYLESBURY

Send Down Your Truth, O God
Author: Edward Rowland Sill Hymnal: The Worshipbook #566 (1972) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Send down your truth, O God;
Too long the shadows frown!
Too long the darkened way we’ve trod:
Your truth, O Lord, send down.
2 Send down your Spirit free,
Till wilderness and town
One temple for your worship be:
Your Spirit, O send down.
3 Send down your love, your life,
Our lesser lives to crown,
And cleanse them of their hate and strife:
Your living love send down.
4 Send down your peace, O Lord,
Earth’s bitter voices drown
In one deep ocean of accord:
Your peace, O God, send down.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Christian Year Pentecost; Other Observances Ecumenism; Other Observances Mission; Other Observances World Peace Scripture: Romans 8:6 Tune Title: AYLESBURY
Send Down Your Truth, O God
In mercy, not in wrath
Author: Rev. John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #352 (1894) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath,
Rebuke me, gracious God;
Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise,
I sink beneath Thy rod.
2 Touched by Thy quickening power,
My load of guilt I feel;
The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed,
Oh, let that Spirit heal.
3 In trouble and in gloom,
Must I forever mourn?
And wilt Thou not at length, O God,
In pitying love return?
4 Oh, come, ere life expire;
Send down Thy power to save;
For who shall sing Thy Name in death,
Or praise Thee in the grave!
5 Why should I doubt Thy grace,
Or yield to dread despair?
Thou wilt fulfill Thy promised word,
And grant me all my prayer.
Amen.
