Will There be Light for Me?
Author: E. S. Roberts Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 14:7 First Line: Will there be light at eventide Lyrics: 1 Will there be light at eventide,
When my bark unmoors for sea?
Will faith’s bright ray illume the way?
O will there be light for me?
Will there be light?
O will there be light?
O will there be light for me, for me?
Will there be light at eventide,
When my bark unmoors for sea?
2 When I draw near the other shore,
Will there be a shining band
Of those I knew and loved on earth
Awaiting me on the strand?
Will there be light?
O will there be light?
O will there be light for me, for me?
Will there be light of faces bright
On the banks of the crystal sea?
3 On yonder shore are the golden gates
That lead to the city fair,
Where Jesus stands,
With outstretched hands,
To bid me welcome there.
There will be light,
O there will be light,
O there will be light for me, for me.
He is the Light of glory bright
That shone on Calvary. Topics: Heaven Used With Tune: [Will there be light at eventide]

How Long?
Author: Sarah Doudney Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 14:7 First Line: The weary hours like shadows come and go Lyrics: 1 The weary hours like shadows come and go,
As still I strive, by earnest faith and pray’r,
To do each day the duties that I know,
And bear the cross my Saviour bids me bear.
2 But are there many weary miles to tread
Before the promised home appears in sight?
And are there sad and bitter tears to shed
Ere we shall meet in realms of endless light?
3 Some little joy I have in doing still
The humble work He bids me do for Him;
A tender gladness when ‘tis mine to fill
Again some empty chalice to the brim.
4 And thus the days are slowly passing here,
With distant gleams of hope and glory blest;
But is the hallowed moment drawing near
When we shall meet again in endless rest?
5 Ah, yes, when that great light which men call Death
Strikes thro’ the gloom and stills at last the strife,
Then come a hush, a sigh, a fleeting breath,
And we shall meet again in endless life. Topics: The Christian Race Used With Tune: [The weary hours like shadows come and go]

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,801 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 14:9 Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 Behold, the islands, with their kings,
And Europe her best tribute brings;
From north to south the princes meet,
To pay their homage at his feet.
3 There Persia, glorious to behold;
There India shines in Eastern gold;
And barbarous nations, at his word,
Submit, and bow, and own their Lord.
4 To him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice. Topics: The Christian Church Missionary; The Saviour's Reign

Of that new life when sin shall be no more.

Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.

Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home. [Refrain]

The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee. [Refrain]

Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above;
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. [Refrain] Topics: Angels; Death Used With Tune: VOX ANGELICA

Our salvation near
Author: A. M. Toplady Appears in 355 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 14:7 First Line: Your harps, ye trembling saints Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints,
Down from the willows take:
Loud to the praise of love divine
Bid every string awake.
2 Though in a foreign land,
We are not far from home;
And nearer to our house above
We every moment come.
3 His grace will to the end
Stronger and brighter shine;
Nor present things, nor things to come,
Shall quench the spark divine.
4 When we in darkness walk,
Nor feel the heavenly flame,
Then is the time to trust our God,
And rest upon his name.
5 Soon shall our doubts and fears
Subside at his control;
His loving-kindness shall break through
The midnight of the soul.
6 Blest is the man, O God,
Who stays himself on thee;
Who waits for thy salvation, Lord,
Shall thy salvation see. Topics: Assurance Urged; Christians Encouragements; Comfort; Courage; Darkness Spiritual Used With Tune: ALEXANDER

Let saints below in concert sing
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 14:9 Lyrics: 1 Let saints below in concert sing
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants of our King
In earth and heaven are one.
2 One family--we dwell with him--
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death:
3 One army of the living God,
To his command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
4 E'en now to their eternal home
Some happy spirits fly;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon expect to die.
5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands
With those that went before,
And greet the ransomed blessed bands
Upon th' eternal shore.
6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide;
And, when the word is given,
Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Our Family of God

Of God the Father's face,
Th' eternal splendor wearing;

Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Joyful in Thine appearing.

We see the evening light,
Our wonted hymn outpouring;
Father of might unknown,
Thee, His incarnate Son,
And Holy Spirit adoring.

All praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, Life-giver;
Thee, therefore, O Most High,
The world doth glorify,
And shall exalt forever.
