O How Blest Are Ye Whose Toils Are ended
Author: H. W. Longfellow; Simon Dach Meter: 10.10.5.10 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: O how blest are ye whose toils are ended! Lyrics: 1 O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!
Who thro' death have unto God ascended!
Ye have arisen
From the cares which keep us still in prison.
2 Christ has wiped away your tears forever;
Ye have that for which we still endeavor;
To you are chanted
Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted.
3 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?
4 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us,
Lead us forth and cast this world behind us!
With Thee, th'Anointed,
Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: The Christian Life Death and Burial Used With Tune: BEATA

Oh, How Blest Are You
Author: Simon Dach, 1605-59; Henry W. Longfellow, 1807-92 Meter: 10.10.5.10 Appears in 2 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: O WIE SELIG
