And scattered all the gloom.

And softened every bed;
Where should the dying members rest,
But with the dying Head?

At the great rising-day.

And bid our kindred rise;
Awake! ye nations under ground;
Ye saints! ascend the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: CHINA

Scarce whispers from the tree:
So gently flows the parting breath,
When good men cease to be.

The crimson light is shed!
'Tis like the peace the Christian gives
To mourners round his bed.
How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast!
'Tis like the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their last.

The rising star appears:
So faith springs in the heart of those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears.
But soon the morning's happier light
Its glory shall restore,
And eyelids that are sealed in death
Shall wake to close no more. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me;
For as I draw my latest breath,
I'll think, Lord Christ! upon thy death;
And there find consolation.
3 I shall not in the grave remain,
Since thou death's bonds hast severed:
By hope with thee to rise again,
From fear of death delivered,
I'll come to thee, where'er thou art,
Live with thee, from thee never part;
Therefore I die in rapture.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep, in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending;
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal. Languages: English

Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross;
Nearer to gain the crown.

Winding down through the night,
There rolls the deep and unknown stream

Are slipping on the brink,
And I, to-day, are nearer home,
Nearer than now I think.

Upon the shore of death. Languages: English

On manhood's middle day.

And dreams of days to come?

And warns thee of her dead!

To truths divinely given:

Shall live for hell or heaven! Languages: English

Hallelujah.
2 Light grappled with darkness,
Death wrestled with life;
Now light comes triumphant
From out the dread strife.
While death lieth vanquished,
Hope kindles again
The torch of the faithful
To shine among men.
Ye sorrowing women
Who hither have sped,
Why seek ye the living
To-day 'mongst the dead?
For Jesus is risen.
Hallelujah.
3 Now God in His heaven
And man are at one,
The grave is a pathway,
Through Christ, to the throne.
Ye friends that are bending
In grief at the cross,
Now lift your heads gladly,
Ye suffered no loss.
O flock, scattered widely,
Return to the fold:
Thy Shepherd still liveth,
And now as of old
He leadeth thee Godward.
Hallelujah.
4 'Mid storms and upheavals
His Church stands secure.
The truth of His gospel
Shall ever endure.
Lo! unto all peoples
His message shall speed,
Proclaiming 'mid turmoil
The Lord's mighty deed,
Proclaiming the Saviour
Who died for all men,
And, having arisen,
Now liveth again,
Firstfruits of the sleeping.
Hallelujah.
5 Then weep not, ye faithful,
Yield not to despair:
The night soon is over,
The day shall appear.
Though earth shall embrace you
When death lays you low,
The seed of His sowing
To harvests will grow;
And soon shall the Sower
Return to His field
With angels to gather
Its heavenly yield,
From evil tares severed.
Hallelujah.

In Triumph Our Redeemer
Author: Erik Gustaf Geijer Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #137 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Topics: Resurrection of Believers Lyrics: 1 In triumph our Redeemer
Is now to life returned.
All praise to Him who, dying,
Hath our salvation earned!
No more death's fetter galls us,
The grave no more appalls us,
For Jesus lives again.
2 In glory Thou appearest,
And earth is filled with light;
With resurrection radiance
The very tomb is bright;
There's joy in heav'nly places
When o'er all earthly races
The dawn of mercy breaks.
3 Teach me with Thee to suffer,
With Thee to live and die,
In trial and temptation
On Thy help to rely.
To them alone who suffered
With Thee the palm is offered
When our last fight is won.
4 When in the morning watches
Of that last day of dread
Thou comest in Thy glory
To judge both quick and dead,
How sweet Thy promise spoken,
Thyself the living token,
That death shall be no more.
