The Little While I Linger Here

Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here Should grief and fear o'ertake me? No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear, He never will forsake me. He gave His life to save the herd, And with His Spirit and His Word, Is present with us always. 2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice, I go where'er He beckons. His own He knows, they are His choice, Their numbers, too, He reckons. And He will seek the straying sheep, The feeble in His bosom keep, And gently raise the fallen. 3 He strengthens me with living bread, With waters sweet and gracious, Which flow from life's great fountain-head, With peace and joy most precious. Though rough and thorny is my way, If from His path I do not stray, I shall not be discouraged. 4 O Thou who saidst, "Away from me No one shall snatch them ever." Thee I implore, to Thee I fee, Ah leave, forsake me, never! The world allures; oh, guide me through, That with the blesséd I may view thy Father's glorious mansions. 5 How vain the worldling's pomp and show, How brief His joys and pleasures! The night approaches now, and lo! We leave all earthly treasures. And then what is all earthly bliss to that blest promise, Where He is We shall be with Him also!

In Death's Strong Grasp the Saviour Lay

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 In death's strong grasp the Saviour lay, For our offenses given: But, lo, the Lord is ris'n today, And brings us life from heaven: Now therefore let us all rejoice And praise our God with cheerful voice, And sing loud hallelujahs. 2 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us; He died on the accursed tree, So strong His love to save us. Th'atoning blood now marks our door, Faith points to it, death passes o'er, He nevermore can harm us. 3 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun which warms and lights us: And by His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 4 Then let us feast this Easter day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grade hath purged away The old and wicked leaven: For Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other. Amen.

Hence, cheerfully may we with Thee Take up our cross and bear it, Till we the crown inherit. 3 We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won Our hearts to hope and duty; But while our spirits feel Thee near, Our eyes would see Thy beauty; We fain would be at rest with Thee In peace and joy supernal, In glorious life eternal. 4 We wait for Thee; sure Thou wilt come, The time is swiftly nearing; In this we also do rejoice, And long for Thine appearing. O bliss ’twill be when Thee we see, Homeward Thy people bringing, With ecstasy and singing! Amen.

Lord God! Thou Art For Evermore

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; John Kelly Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord God! Thou art for evermore Thy people’s habitation, And Thou existence hadst before Was laid the earth’s foundation! Ere yet the hills began to be Thou lived’st in eternity, Of all things the beginning! 2 Thou lettest all the crowds of men Through death’s dark portals wander, And biddest them return again, Those others follow yonder. With Thee a thousand years are aye Like watch of night or yesterday When it is gone for ever. 3 Thou lettest the base hosts of men E’en as a stream be flowing, And as a ship upon the main That favoring winds are blowing, And as a sleep and dream of night That when men wake at morning light They can no more remember. 4 We’re like an herb that early dies, Or grass in fields that groweth, That in the morning flourishes, Ere night the mower moweth. So ’tis with man: he blooms to-day, Tomorrow he is borne away If but a breath doth touch him! 5 Because Thy wrath ’gainst us doth glow, Lord! we so early vanish, And for our sins Thou lay’st us low, And from Thy face dost banish. Our sins Thou sett’st before Thine eyes, Then doth Thine indignation rise In Thine heart ever holy! 6 This fire it is consumes in all Our bones the marrow ever; And hence it is that great or small From death escapeth never. And hence our days are passing o’er Like tales that oft beguile an hour And that are soon forgotten. 7 And scarcely doth our life on earth To seventy years last even; And what are all our labors worth If four-score years be given? What is the sum of all our gain From youth to age, but toil and pain, Heart-sorrow and vexation? 8 We’re ever toiling full of care, And ere we do bethink us To stop our work, lo! death is there, Into the grave to sink us. And speedily we pass away, Yet of their end none ever stay To think, nor of God’s anger. 9 O teach us, Lord! to think each day Upon this earth’s affliction, That when we think on death we may Grow wiser by reflection. Ah! turn on us again Thy face And be at peace, O God of grace! With Thy rebellious children. 10 And early with Thy mercy free Be soul and body filling, And late and early, Lord, may we Thy glorious praise be telling. O chiefest joy! our hearts now cheer, And once more give us good times here, The days have been so evil. 11 We’ve borne the cross these weary years, Now let Thy sun be shining, Vouchsafe us laughter after tears, And pleasure after pining. And evermore, O Lord! make known Thy works of wonder to Thine own, Thine honor to Thy children. 12 Be Thou our faithful friend and God, Establish us for ever! And when we err from wisdom’s road Give penitence and favor! Turn Thou our hearts again to Thee, May all our works established be, Crown all we do with blessing!
