I Know of a Sleep in Jesus' Name
Author: Magnus B. Landstad Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #592 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name,
A rest from all toil and sorrow;
Earth folds in her arms my weary frame
And shelters it till the morrow;
My soul is at home with God in heav'n,
Her sorrows are past and over.
2 I know of a peaceful eventide;
And when I am faint and weary,
At times with the journey sorely tried,
Thro' hours that are long and dreary,
Then often I yearn to lay me down
And sink into blissful slumber.
3 I know of a morning bright and fair
When tidings of joy shall wake us,
When songs from on high shall fill the air
And God to His glory take us,
When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep--
How joyous that hour of waking!
4 Oh, that is a morning dear to me,
And oft, o'er the mountains streaming,
In spirit its heav'nly light I see
As golden the peaks are beaming.
Then sing I for joy like birds at dawn
That carol in lofty lindens.
5 God's Son to our graves then takes His way,
His voice hear all tribes and nations;
The portals are rent that guard our clay,
And moved are the sea's foundations.
He calls out aloud, "Ye dead, come forth!"
In glory we rise to meet Him.
6 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed
And take me into Thy keeping
And say when my spirit hence is fled,
"This child is not dead, but sleeping."
And leave me not, Savior, till I rise
To praise Thee in life eternal.
Amen.

All men Living Are But Mortal
Author: Johann G. Albinus; Catherine Winkworth; Unknown Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #601 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 All men living are but mortal,
Yea, all flesh must fade as grass;
Only thro' death’s gloomy portal
To eternal life we pass.
This frail body here must perish
Ere the heav’nly love joys it cherish,
Ere it gain the free reward
For the ransomed of the Lord.
2 Therefore, when my God doth choose it,
Willingly I’ll yield my life
Nor will grieve that I should lose it,
For with sorrows it was rife.
In my dear Redeemer’s merit
Peace hath found my troubled spirit,
And in death my comfort this:
Jesus’ death my source of bliss.
3 Jesus for my sake descended
My salvation to obtain;
Death and hell for me are ended,
Peace and hope are now my gain;
Yea, with joy I leave earth’s sadness
For the home of heav’nly gladness,
Where I shall forever see
God, the Holy Trinity.
4 There is joy beyond our telling,
Where so many saints have gone;
Thousands, thousands, there are dwelling,
Worshiping before the throne,
There the seraphim are shining,
Evermore in chorus joining:
"Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Triune God, for aye adored!"
5 Patriarchs of sacred story
And the prophets there are found;
The apostles, too, in glory
On twelve seats are there enthroned.
All the saints that have ascended
Age on age, through time extended,
There in blissful concert sing
Hallelujahs to their King.
6 O Jerusalem, how glorious
Dost thou shine, thou city fair!
Lo, I hear the tones victorious
Ever sweetly sounding there.
Oh, the bliss that there surprises!
Lo, the sun of morn now rises,
And the breaking day I see
That shall never end for me.
7 Yea, I see what here was told me,
See that wondrous glory shine,
Feel the spotless robes enfold me,
Know a golden crown is mine.
Thus before the throne so glorious
Now I stand a soul victorious,
Gazing on that joy for aye
That shall never pass away.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:6 Languages: English Tune Title: ALLE MENSCHEN MÜSSEN STERBEN
All men Living Are But Mortal
It Is Not Death to Die
Author: George W. Bethune; H. A. César Malan; Albert Knapp Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #602 (1941) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road,
And midst the brotherhood on high
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
4 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust
And rise, on strong, exulting wing
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, Thou Prince of Life,
Thy chosen cannot die:
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife
To reign with Thee on high.
Amen. Scripture: John 11:26 Languages: English Tune Title: TENBURY

O'er the Distant Mountains Breaking
Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #606 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Topics: The Last Things Judgment Lyrics: 1 O’er the distant mountains breaking
Comes the redd'ning dawn of day.
Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking;
Rise and sing and watch and pray.
’Tis thy Savior, 'Tis thy Savior,
On His bright returning way.
2 O Thou Long-expected, weary
Waits my anxious soul for Thee;
Life is dark, and earth is dreary,
When Thy light I do not see.
O my Savior, O my Savior,
When wilt Thou return to me?
3 Nearer is my soul’s salvation;
Spent the night, the day at hand.
Keep me in my lowly station,
Watching for Thee till I stand,
O my Savior, O my Savior,
In Thy bright, Thy promised land.
4 With my lamp well trimmed and burning,
Swift to hear and slow to roam,
Watching for Thy glad returning
To restore me to my home.
Come, my Savior, Come, my Savior,
O my Savior, quickly come.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 24:42 Languages: English Tune Title: O JERUSALEM, DU SCHÖNE

Let Thoughtless Thousands Choose the Road
Author: Joseph Hoskins Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #608 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Last Things Judgment Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
2 On Christ, by faith, I fain would live,
From Him my life, my all, receive,
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my pow'rs.
3 Christ is my everlasting All;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my ev'ry want supply
In time and thro' eternity.
4 Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here,
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
5 Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through every golden street,
And sing on every blissful plain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
Let Thoughtless Thousands Choose the Road
Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Philipp Nicolai Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #609 (1941) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Topics: The Last Things Judgment First Line: "Wake, awake, for night is flying" Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying,"
The watchmen on the heights are crying;
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"
Midnight hears the welcome voices
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:
"Oh, where are ye, ye virgins wise?
The Bridegroom comes, awake!
Your lamps with gladness take!
Hallelujah!
With bridal care Yourselves prepare
To meet the Bridegroom, who is near."
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing
And all her heart with joy is springing,
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all-glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious;
Her Star is ris'n, her Light is come.
"Now come, Thou Blessed One,
Lord Jesus, God's own Son,
Hail! Hosanna!
The joyful call We answer all
And follow to the nuptial hall."
3 Now let all the heav'ns adore Thee,
Let men and angels sing before Thee
With harp and cymbals' clearest tone.
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where, joining with the choir immortal,
We gather round Thy radiant throne.
No vision ever brought,
No ear hath ever caught,
Such great glory;
Therefore will we Eternally
Sing hymns of praise and joy to Thee.
Amen.
Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13 Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF
Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
And Will the Judge Descend
Author: Phillip Doddridge Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #610 (1941) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Last Things Judgment Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend,
And must the dead arise
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes?
2 And from His righteous lips
Shall this dread sentence sound
And thro' the num'rous guilty throng
Spread black despair around:
3 "Depart from Me, accursed,
To everlasting flame,
For rebel angels first prepared,
Where mercy never came?"
4 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that Day
When earth and heav'n before His face,
Astonished, shrink away?
5 But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark from the Gospel's cheering sound
What joyful tidings spread:
6 Ye sinners, seek His grace
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of His cross,
And find salvation there.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 25:41 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
And Will the Judge Descend
The Day is Surely Drawing Near
Author: Philip A. Peter; Bartholomäus Ringwald Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #611 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: The Last Things Judgment Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near
When God's Son, the Anointed,
Shall with great majesty appear
As Judge of all appointed.
All mirth and laughter then shall cease
When flames on flames will still increase,
As Scripture truly 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 pow'r
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 tho'ts 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
To Satan be delivered.
5 O Jesus, who my debt didst pay
And for my sin wast smitten,
Within the Book of Life, oh, may
My name be also written!
I will not doubt; I trust in Thee,
From Satan Thou hast made me free
And from all condemnation.
6 Therefore my Intercessor be
And for Thy blood and merit
Declare my name from judgment free
With all who life inherit,
That I may see Thee face to face
With all Thy saints in that blest place
Which Thou for us hast purchased.
7 O Jesus Christ, do not delay,
But hasten our salvation;
We often tremble on our way
In fear and tribulation.
Then hear us when we cry to Thee;
Come, mighty Judge, and make us free
From every evil! Amen.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 21:25-36 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH
