Death and Eternity
Author: Dr. Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DL (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death And eternity; Eternity Death and eternity First Line: My thoughts, that often mount the skies Lyrics: 1 My thoughts, that often mount the skies,
Go, search the world beneath,
Where nature all in ruin lies,
And owns her sovereign, death.
2 The tyrant how he triumphs here*,
His trophies spread around!
And heaps of dust and bones appear
Thro' all the hollow ground.
3 Those skulls, what ghastly figures now!
How loathsome to the eyes!
These are the heads we lately knew
So beauteous and so wise.
4 But where the souls those deathless things,
That left their dying clay?
My thoughts, now stretch out all your wings,
And trace eternity!
5 O that unfathomable sea!
Those deeps without a shore!
Where living waters gently play,
Or fiery billows roar.
6 There we shall swim in heavenly bliss,
Or sink in flaming waves,
While the pale carcase breathless lies
Among the silent graves.
7 "Prepare us, Lord, for thy right hand,
"Then come the joyful day,
"Come, death, and some celestial band,
"To bear our souls away." Languages: English

I Cannot Think of Them as Dead
Author: Frederick L. Hosmer Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #645 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 I cannot think of them as dead,
who walk with me no more;
along the path of life I tread
they are but gone before,
they are but gone before.
2 And still their silent ministry
within my heart hath place,
as when on earth they walked with me,
and met me face to face,
and met me face to face.
3 Their lives are made forever mine;
what they to have been
has left henceforth its seal and sign
engraven deep within,
engraven deep within.
4 Mine are they by an ownership
nor time nor death can free;
for God hath given to love to keep
its own eternally,
its own eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: DISTANT BELOVED

In the Bulb There Is a Flower
Author: Natalie Sleeth Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #638 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life 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. Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE

How Blest Are They Who Trust in Christ
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #646 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who trust in Christ
when we and those we love must part;
we yield them up, for go they must,
but do not lose them from our heart.
2 In ripened age, their harvest reaped,
or gone from us in youth or prime,
in Christ they have eternal life,
released from all the bonds of time.
3 In Christ, who tasted death for us,
we rise above our natural grief,
and witness to a stricken world
the strength and splendor of belief. Languages: English Tune Title: MARYTON

My God, I know that I must die
Author: Benjamin Schmolk, d. 1737; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: Church Book #544 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 My God, I know that I must die:
My mortal life is passing hence;
On earth I neither hope nor try
To find a lasting residence.
Then teach me by Thy heavenly grace
With joy and peace my death to face.
2 My God, I know not when I die;
What is the moment or the hour;
How soon the clay may broken lie,
How quickly pass away the flower:
Then may Thy child preparéd be
Through time to meet eternity.
3 My God, I know not how I die;
For death has many ways to come,
In dark mysterious agony,
On gently as a sleep to some.
Just as Thou wilt, if but it be
To bring me, blessed Lord, to Thee!
4 My God, I know not where I die,
Where is my grace, beneath what strand;
Yet from its gloom I do rely
To be delivered by Thy hand.
Content, I take what spot is mine,
Since all the earth,, my Lord, is Thine.
5 My gracious God, when I must die,
O bear my happy soul above,
With Christ, my Lord, eternally
To share Thy glory and Thy Love:
Then comes it right and well to me,
When, where, and how my death shall be. Languages: English Tune Title: MACCABAEUS
My God, I know that I must die

when I was sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.

and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on,

and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and through eternity I’ll sing on. Scripture: Romans 5:6-21 Tune Title: WONDROUS LOVE

Abide with Me
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #636 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Life of Discipleship Death and Eternal Life; God's Church Life of Discipleship: Death and Eternal Life First Line: Abide with me, fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide;
the darkness deepens, God, with me abide:
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
where is death's dark sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;
heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O God, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Thee we adore, Eternal Name
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #539 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name,
And humbly own to Thee,
How feeble is our mortal frame,
What dying worms are we!
2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still,
As days and months increase;
And every beating pulse we tell
Leaves but the number less.
3 The year rolls round, and steals away
The breath that first it gave:
Whate'er we do, where'er we be,
We're travelling to the grave.
4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground,
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense,
To walk this dangerous road;
And if our souls are hurried hence
May they be found with God. Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER
Thee we adore, Eternal Name
