Our God, our Help in ages past
Author: Watts Hymnal: Church Book #538 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 Our God, our Help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come;
Our Shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal Home!
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 Thy word commands our flesh to dust:
"Return, ye sons of men;"
All nations rose from earth at first,
And turn to earth again.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6 Like flowery fields the nations stand,
Pleased with the morning light:
The flowers beneath the mower's hand
Lie withering ere 'tis night.
7 Our God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Be Thou our Guard while troubles last,
And our eternal Home! Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: WOBURN
Our God, our Help in ages past
For ever with the Lord!
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Church Book #585 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven Lyrics: 1 For ever with the Lord!
Amen! so let it be;
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
2 Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer Home.
3 My Father's House on high,
Home of my soul! how near,
At times to faith's far-seeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
4 Ah, then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!
5 For ever with the Lord!
Father, if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word,
E'en here to me fulfil.
6 Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand,
Fight, and I must prevail.
7 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
8 Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"For ever with the Lord!"

Hymn of Promise
Author: Natalie Sleeth Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #707 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth Death and Eternal Life First Line: In the bulb there is a flower 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. Scripture: Matthew 5:12 Languages: English Tune Title: PROMISE

Christ Jesus Lay
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie; Catherine Winkworth; Johann Christian Jacobi Hymnal: Voices Together #463 (2020) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Topics: Death and Eternal Life First Line: Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands
for our offenses given,
but now at God’s right hand he stands
and brings us life from heaven.
Therefore let us all rejoice
and sing to God with heart and voice
loud songs of hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
2 It was a strange and dreadful strife
when life and death contended.
The victory remained with life,
the reign of death is ended.
So the scripture makes it plain
that death by death’s own sword is slain.
Its sting is lost forever.
Hallelujah!
3 Then let us keep this feast today
that God has freely given.
The word of grace has swept away
the old and evil leaven.
Christ today will meet his own
and faith will feed on him alone;
the living bread of heaven.
Hallelujah! Scripture: Exodus 12:1-20 Tune Title: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN

When rising from the bed of death
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: Church Book #571 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death and Eternity Judgment Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear,
I see my Maker face to face,
O how shall I appear?
2 If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought:
3 When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgment on my soul,
O how shall I appear?
4 But Thou hast told the troubled mind,
Who does her sins lament,
Of Him who suffered unto death,
Her sufferings to prevent.
5 Then never shall my soul despair
Her pardon to procure,
Who knows Thine only Son has died
to make her pardon sure. Languages: English Tune Title: WINDSOR

On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #674 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 with refrain Topics: The Christian Life Death and Eternal Life Refrain First Line: I am bound for the promised land Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
and cast a wishful eye
to Canaan's fair and happy land,
where my possessions lie.
[Refrain:]
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
shines one eternal day;
there God the Son forever reigns,
and scatters night away. (Refrain)
3 No chilling winds or poisonous breath
can reach that healthful shore;
sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
are felt and feared no more. (Refrain)
4 When I shall reach that happy place,
I'll be forever blest,
for I shall see my Father's face
and in his bosom rest. (Refrain)

Abide with Me
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #700 (1989) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth 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; Lord, 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, Lord, 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.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Scripture: Luke 24:29 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

In the Bulb There Is a Flower

Who knows how near my end may be?
Author: Miss Winkworth; Emilia Juliana, Countess of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt Hymnal: Church Book #546 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my end may be?
Time speeds away, and death comes on.
How swiftly, ah, how suddenly,
May death be here, and life be gone!
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
2 O Father, cover all my sins
With Jesus' merits, who alone
The pardon that I covet wins,
And makes His long-sought Rest my own.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
3 Then death may come or tarry yet;
I know in Christ I perish not.
He never will His own forget;
He gives me robes without a spot.
My God, for Jesus' sake I pray
Thy peace may bless my dying day.
4 And thus I live in God at peace,
And die without a thought of fear,
Content to take what God decrees,
For through His Son my faith is clear;
His grace shall be in death my stay,
And peace shall bless my dying day. Languages: English Tune Title: WER WEISZ, WIE NAHE WIR MEIN ENDE

When the last agony draws nigh
Author: John Andew Gramlich; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #548 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death Lyrics: 1 When the last agony draws nigh,
My spirit sinks in bitter fear:
Courage! I conquer though I die,
For Christ with Death once wrestled here.
Thy strife, O Christ, with death's dark power
Upholds me in this fearful hour.
2 In faith I hide myself in Thee;
I shall not perish in the strife;
I share Thy war, Thy victory,
And death is swallowed up in Life.
Thy strife, O Christ, with death of yore
Hath conquered, and I fear no more. Languages: English Tune Title: WINKWORTH
