Now lay we calmly in the grave

Author: Michael Weisse; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #449 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Now lay we calmly in the grave This form, whereof no doubt we have That it shall rise again that day, In glorious triumph o'er decay. 2 And so to earth again we trust What came from dust, and turns to dust, And from the dust shall surely rise When the last trumpet fills the skies. 3 His soul is living now in God, Whose grace his pardon hath bestowed, Who through His Son redeemed him here From bonds of Satan, sin, and fear. 4 His trials and his griefs are past; A blessed end is his at last; He bore Christ's yoke and did His will, And though he died he liveth still. 5 He lives where none do mourn and weep, And calmly shall this body sleep, Till God shall death himself destroy, And raise it into glorious joy. 6 He suffered pain and grief below, Christ heals him now from all his woe; For him hath endless joy begun; He shines in glory like the sun. 7 Then let us leave him to his rest, And homeward turn, for he is blest; And we must well our souls prepare, When death shall come, to meet him there. 8 So help us, Christ, our Hope in loss; Thou hast redeemed us by Thy cross From endless death and misery; We praise, we bless, we worship Thee!

Ye christian parents dry your tears

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXVI (1816) Topics: Death and Burials For the Burial of an Infant Lyrics: 1 Ye christian parents dry your tears, O why should they be shed! This may solace your cares and fears, Jesus will raise the dead. 2 Your infants laid into the earth, Which grieves you to the heart; A short time they survive their birth, Until they must depart. 3 Your tender branches torn away, To wither in their bloom; But look ye forward to the day, When Christ the Lord shall come. 4 Then shall your children be restor'd; And never die again: But live and dwell with Christ the Lord, And freed from death and pain. 5 Then shall their bodies be renew'd And like the Saviour's shine; Consisting not of flesh and blood, But heav'nly and divine. 6 How happy will your meeting be Before the Saviour's face, Where your dear children you shall see, In heav'n, that happy place.
