Then with Jesus thou shalt rest,
Crowned, and glorified, and blest.

406. 7s. M. Anonymous.

Funeral Hymn.

1 Clay to clay, and dust to dust!
Let them mingle,--for they must!
Give to earth the earthly clod,
For the spirit's fled to God.

2 Never more shall midnight's damp
Darken round this mortal lamp;
Never more shall noonday's glance
Search this mortal countenance.

3 Look aloft! The spirit's risen;
Death cannot the soul imprison:
'Tis in heaven that spirits dwell,
Glorious, though invisible.

4 Thither let us turn our view;
Peace is there, and comfort too;
There shall those we love be found,
Tracing life's eternal round.

407. C. M. Dale.

"Weep Not."

1 Dear as thou wast, and justly dear,
We would not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the starting tear,--
It is--that thou art free.

2 And thus shall faith's consoling power
The tears of love restrain;
O, who that saw thy parting hour
Could wish thee here again?

3 Gently the passing spirit fled,
Sustained by grace divine;
O, may such grace on us be shed,
And make our end like thine!

408. 10s. M. Montgomery.

Death in Manhood.

1 Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime,
In full activity of zeal and power:
A Christian cannot die before his time;
The Lord's appointment is the servant's hour.

2 Go to the grave; at noon from labor cease;
Rest on thy sheaves, thy harvest work is done;
Come from the heat of battle, and in peace,
Soldier, go home; with thee the field is won.

3 Go to the grave, for there thy Saviour lay,
In death's embraces, ere he rose on high;
And all the ransomed, by that narrow way,
Pass to eternal life beyond the sky.

4 Go to the grave,--no, to thy home above;
Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord,
Where thou for faith and hope hast perfect love,
And open vision for the written word.

409. 12 & 11s. M. Heber.

The Resurrection and the Life.

1 Thou art gone to the grave;--but we will not deplore
