Rise, Crowned in Light

Author: Alexander Pope, 1688-1744 Hymnal: LW1982 #313 (1982) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Rise, crowned in light, imperial Salem, rise! Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes; See heav'n its sparkling portals wide display And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy temple courts adorn; See future sons and daughters, yet unborn, In crowding ranks on ev'ry side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barb'rous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in the light, and in thy temple bend; See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings While ev'ry land its joyful tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed this Word, this saving pow'r, remains; Thy realms shall last, thine own Messiah reigns.

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. 2 I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. 3 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. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's 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; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Your true religion in our hearts increase; Your bounteous goodness nourish us in peace. 4 Refresh your people on their toilsome way; Lead us from night to never-ending day; Fill all our lives with heav'n-born love and grace Until at last we meet before your face.

Oh, Worship the King

Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: LW1982 #458 (1982) Meter: 10.10.11.11 First Line: Oh, worship the King, all-glorious above Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King, all-glorious above. Oh, gratefully sing his pow'r and his love; Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of his might; oh, sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old, Established it fast by a changeless decree, And round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In you do we trust, nor find you to fail; Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend! 6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angels delight to hymn you above, Thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to your praise.

Oh, How Blest Are You

Author: Simon Dach, 1605-59; Henry W. Longfellow, 1807-92 Hymnal: LW1982 #268 (1982) Meter: 10.10.5.10 First Line: Oh, how blest are you whose toils are ended Lyrics: 1 Oh, how blest are you whose toils are ended, Who through death have to our God ascended! You have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 We are still as in a dungeon living, Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving; Our undertakings Are but toils and troubles and heartbreakings. 3 You meanwhile are in their chambers sleeping, Quiet and set free from all our weeping; No cross or sadness There can hinder your untroubled gladness. 4 Christ has wiped away your tears forever; You have that for which we still endeavor; To you are chanted Songs that to no mortal ear were granted. 5 Ah, who would, then, not depart with gladness To inherit heav'n for earthly sadness? Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 6 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us; Lead us forth and cast this world behind us. With you, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: O WIE SELIG

Elijah's chariot take me Above the lower skies, To heaven's bliss awake me, Released from earthly ties. 2 O happy day, O yet far happier hour, When will you come at last, When by my gracious Father's love and pow'r I see that portal vast? From heaven's shining regions To greet me gladly come Your blessed angel legions To bid me welcome home. 3 The patriarchs' and prophets' noble train, With all Christ's foll'wers true, Who washed their robes and cleansed sin's guilty stain, Sing praises ever new! I see them shine forever, Resplendent as the sun, In light diminished never, Their glorious freedom won. 4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise Till heaven's arches echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise. And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

He has fulfilled the law of God for me, God's wrath he hath appeased. Since he in death could perish never, I also shall not die forever. I am content! I am content! 2 I am content! My Jesus is my head; His member I shall be. He bowed his head when on the cross he died With cries of agony. Now death is brought into subjection For me too by his resurrection. I am content! I am content! 3 I am content! My Jesus is my light, My radiant sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all, Sweet comfort, hope, and peace. This Easter sun has brought salvation And everlasting exultation. I am content! I am content! 4 I am content! At length I shall be free, Awakened from the dead, Arising glorious evermore to be With you, my living head. My Lord, earth's binding fetters sever, Then shall my soul rejoice forever. I am content!
