Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God
Author: Dr. Paul Eber; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #434a (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God,
Thou who for me hast borne the rod,
And on the cross hast died in pain,
For me Thy Father's love to gain:
2 I pray, by all Thy bitter woe,
Thou wouldst Thy grace on me bestow,
When heavily I draw my breath,
In the last agonies of death.
3 And when my spirit leaves its bands,
Then take it, Lord, into Thy hands;
My body, may it rest in clay,
Till the approach of the last day.
4 And at the last resurrection great,
Be Thou my Joy and Advocate!
Remember not my sins so rife,
But pardon grant in grace, and life.
5 As Thou hast promised unto me,
Lord in Thy Word—and I trust Thee—
"Who keeps my Word, I truly say,
And 'bides by faith in me alway,
6 "Shall not be judged! shall by faith,
And nevermore shall taste of death!
And though his body here shall die,
Destruction still shall not come nigh.
7 "But I will with my mighty hands
Deliever him from death's cold bands,
And take him to my realm to me,
Where he shall e'er my glory see,
8 "And ever live in joys with me."
To which help us, yea! graciously.
O Lord! forgive our sins so great,
And help that we in patience wait,
9 Till our last hour on earth draws nigh,
And that our faith with watchful eye
May trust Thy Word e'er steadfastly,
Till blessedly we sleep in Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH
Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God
O world, I must now leave thee
Author: Johann Hesse; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #436 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 O world, I now must leave thee,
But little doth it grieve me,
I seek my native land;
True life I there inherit,
And here I yield my spirit
With joy to God's all-gracious hand.
2 So on His Word relying,
I know, while I am dying
I seen shall see His face,
Through Christ whose death hath bought me;
The Father's love He brought me,
And now prepares for me a place.
3 The grave hath lost its terrors,
Since for my sins and errors,
My Savior did atone:
My works can nought avail me,
But His work cannot fail me,
I rest in faith on Him alone.
4 And so I hence am going
In peace, full surely knowing
That now I shall have rest:
I feel death's icy finger;
My soul here cannot linger,
Nor would I stay--to go is best.
5 O world, I yet would teach thee
That death will surely reach thee;
Thou too must follow me;
Then ere God's grace forsake thee,
Repent! to Christ betake thee,
That God have mercy too on thee. Languages: English Tune Title: INNSPRUCK (Nun ruhen alle Wälder)

My soul, for Thou, O Lord,
Dost live and love me without end,
And wilt perform Thy Word.
2 To whom else should I make my plea,
That heavenly life be mine?
All souls, my God, belong to Thee,
My soul is also Thine.
3 Thou gav'st my spirit at my birth,
Take back what Thou hast given;
And with the Lord I served on earth,
Grant me to live in heaven.
4 Faith spreads her wings, she sees revealed
The shining wall above;
My spirit knows that it is sealed,
Redeemed from death by love.
5 Thou my Redeemer wast of yore,
From sin Thou mad'st me free;
Now, faithful God, dost Thou once more
In death deliver me.
6 Thou liv'st and lovest without end,
And dost perform Thy Word;
My passing soul I now commend
To Thee, my God and Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: HANOVER

Since Thou dost call me to depart.

Once slain to take away our load,
Now let Thy cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me,
Thy death to open heav'n, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.

Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend;
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into life. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CATHERINE
O Lord, my God, I cry to Thee
The day is surely drawing near
Author: Bartholomäis Ringwalt; Rev. P. A. Peter Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #457 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near,
When God's Son, the Anointed,
Will with great majesty appear,
As Judge of all appointed.
All mirth and laughter then shall cease,
When flames on flames will still increase,
As the Apostle teacheth.
2 A trumpet loud shall then resound
And all the earth be shaken;
Then all who in their graves are found
Shall from their sleep awaken;
But all that live shall in that hour,
By the Almighty's boundless power,
Be changed at His commanding.
3 A book is opened then to all--
A record truly telling
What each hath done, both great and small,
When he on earth was dwelling.
And ev'ry heart be clearly seen,
And all be known as they have been,
In thoughts and words and actions.
4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord,
And sought but carnal pleasures,
Who here despised His precious Word
And loved their earthly treasures!
With shame and trembling they will stand
And at the Judge's stern command
Must leave the Lord forever.
5 O may my name, dear Lord, be found,
Free from all condemnation,
For Thy death's sake, Thy pains and wounds,
In Thy book of salvation.
I will not doubt:--I trust in Thee;--
From Satan Thou have made me free,
And from all condemnation.
6 Therefore my Intercessor be,
And for Thy death and merit
Declare my name from judgment free,
With all who life inherit;
That with my brethren I may stand
With Thee in heaven, our fatherland,
Which Thou for us hast purchased.
7 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay,
O hasten our salvation!
We often tremble on our way
In fear and tribulation.
Then hear us when we cry to Thee;
Come mighty Judge, come, make us free
From ev'ry evil. Amen! Languages: English Tune Title: MONMOUTH (Es ist gewisslich an der Zeit)

Eternity! terrific word!
Author: Johann Rist; J. C. Jacobi Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #461 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity Lyrics: 1 Eternity! terrific word!
Within the heart a piercing sword!
Beginning without ending!
Eternity, unmeasured time!
I sink beneath the though sublime,
That I to thee am tending:
Deep horrors fill my quaking heart,
My lips in speech refuse to part.
2 Eternity! O what a pang!
Eternity! no serpent's fang
Could send that thrill of terror;
When I revolve thy clanking chains,
Thy dark abyss of deathless pains,
My soul is filled with horror.
O search the universe around,
No equal terror can be found.
3 Awake, O man, from sinful sleep;
Henceforth thy feet from wand'ring keep;
Seek God by true repentance!
Awake, behold thy wasting sand,
Eternity is just at hand,
And brings thine awful sentence.
This perchance thy final day;
This hour thy soul may haste away.
4 Eternity! terrific word!
Within the heart a piercing sword!
Beginning without ending!
Eternity! unmeasured time!
I sink beneath the thought sublime,
That I to thee am tending:
Lord Jesus, when it pleaseth Thee,
Grant me Thy blest eternity! Languages: English Tune Title: ETERNITY (O Ewigkeit, du Donnerwort)
Eternity! terrific word!
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Author: Johann Matthäus Meyfart; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #468 (1908) Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high,
Would God I were in thee!
My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly,
It will not stay with me;
Far over vale and mountain,
It hastes to seek its Fountain,
And quit this world of pain.
2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour,
When wilt you come at last,
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render,
For surely will His hand
Lead her, with guidance tender,
To heaven, her fatherland.
3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously,
Released from earthly ties,
The fiery care shall bear her up to thee,
Through all these lower skies,
To yonder shining regions,
Where down, to meet her, come
The blessed angel-legions,
And bid her welcome home.
4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold
The gates of grace to me!
How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness,
Yon world of shadowy nought,
And God had given the gladness,
The heritage I sought.
5 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host,
Comes sweeping swiftly down?
The chosen ones of earth who wrought the most,
The Church's brightest crown,
Our Lord hath sent to meet me,
As in the far off years
Their words oft came to greet me,
In yonder land of tears.
6 The Patriarchs' and Prophets' noble train,
With all Christ's followers true,
Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain
That tyrants dared to do,
I see them shine forever,
All glorious as the sun,
'Mid light that fadeth never,
Their perfect freedom won.
7 And when within that lovely Paradise
And last I safely dwell,
From out my soul what songs of bliss shall rise,
What joy my lips shall tell,
While holy saints are singing
Hosannas o'er and o'er,
Pure hallelujah's ringing,
Around me evermore.
8 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne
With harp and trumpet raise
Glad notes, till heav'ns vast halls vibrate the tone
Of their melodious praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song! Languages: English Tune Title: HEAVENLY CITY
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Shall man, O God of light and life
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a451 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life,
Forever moulder in the grave?
Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work,
Thy promise and Thy power to save?
2 Shall life revisit dying worms,
And spread the joyful insect's wing!
And, oh! shall man awake no more
To see Thy face, Thy name to sing?
3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears!
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heav'n with praise and wonder rung.
4 Him, the First--Fruits, His chosen sons
Shall follow from the vanquished grave;
He mounts His throne, the King of kings,
His Church to quicken and to save.
5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors
Unfold, to make His children way;
They shall be clothed with endless life,
And shine in everlasting day.
6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake;
And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring;
Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise,
And hail their Savior and their King. Languages: English
