John 11:17-27

• [Joh 11:23] Within The Churchyard, Side By Side

  Within the churchyard, side by side, Are many long low graves; And some have stones set over them, On some the green grass waves. Full many a little Christian child, Woman, and man, lies there; And we pass near them every time When we go in to prayer. They cannot hear our footsteps come, They do not see us pass; They cannot feel the warm bright sun That shines upon the grass. They do not hear when the great bell Is ringing overhead; They cannot rise and come to church With us, for they are dead. But we believe a day shall come When all the dead will rise, When they who sleep down in the grass, Will ope again their eyes. For Christ our Lord was buried once, He died and rose again, He conquered death, He left the grave; And so will Christian men. So when the friends we love the best Lie in their churchyard bed, We must not cry too bitterly Over the happy dead; Because, for our dear Savior’s sake, Our sins are all forgiv’n; And Christians only fall asleep To wake again in Heav’n.

• [Joh 11:25] All Hail, Thou Resurrection!

  All hail, Thou Resurrection! All hail, Thou Life and Light! All hail, Thou Self Perfection, Sole source of grace and might! Thy Church, O Christ, now greets Thee, Uprising from the grave; And every eye that meets Thee Beholds Thee strong to save. All hail, belovèd Jesus! For Thou, indeed, art He Whose death from sin can free us, Whose life brings liberty. Hence, let our faith embrace Thee With warmest hand and eye, And then delight to trace Thee Ascending up on high. O Savior, come in glory, To raise Thy holy dead, And end redemption’s story, With crowns upon Thy head. Then robed in white before Thee, Without one stain or tear, Shall all Thy saints adore Thee, Midst wonder, love and fear!

• [Joh 11:27] God The Father’s Only Son

  God the Father’s only Son, And with Him in glory One, One in wisdom, One in might, Absolute and infinite; Jesu, I believe in thee, Thou art Lord and God to me. Preacher of eternal peace, Christ anointed to release, Setting wide the dungeon door, Unto sinners chained before; Jesu, I believe in Thee, Christ the Prophet sent to me. Low in deep Gethsemane, High on dreadful Calvary, In the garden, on the cross, Making good our utter loss; Jesu, I believe in Thee, Priest and Sacrifice for me. Ruler of Thy ransomed race, And Protector by Thy grace, Leader in the way we wend, And Rewarder at the end; Jesu, I believe in Thee, Christ, the King of kings to me. Light revealed through clouds of pain, That the blind might see again; Love content in death to lie, That the dead might never die: Jesu, I believe in Thee, Light and Love and Life to me. All that I am fain to know While I watch and wait below: All that I would find above, Length and depth and height of love: Jesu, I believe in Thee, Thou art All in All to me.
