"Immanuel's Land"

Author: Mrs. Anne R. Cousin Hymnal: LD1888 #583 (1888) First Line: The sands of time are sinking Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn, awakes. Dark, dark hath been the midnight; But dayspring is at hand, And glory--glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 O Christ! he is the fountain, The deep, sweet well, of love; The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above; There to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory--glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time he wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustred by his love; I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth, In Immanuel's land.

Tappan Hymnal: LD1888 #584 (1888) First Line: There is an hour of peaceful rest Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mourning wanderers given; There is a joy for souls distressed; A balm for every wounded breast: 'Tis found above--in heaven. 2 There is a home for weary souls, By sin and sorrow driven,-- When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise, and ocean rolls, And all is drear--but heaven. 3 There faith lifts up her cheerful eye To brighter prospects given; And views the tempest passing by, The evening shadows quickly fly, And all serene--in heaven. 4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom, And joys supreme are given; There rays divine disperse the gloom: Beyond the confines of the tomb Appears the dawn of heaven!

"Hold fast"

Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: LD1888 #585 (1888) First Line: The roseate hues of early dawn Lyrics: 1 The roseate hues of early dawn, The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away! Oh, for the pearly gates of heaven! Oh, for the golden floor! Oh, for the Sun of Righteousness, That setteth nevermore! 2 The highest hopes we cherish here, How soon they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! Oh, for a heart that never sins! Oh, for a soul washed white! Oh, for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope, And grace to lead us higher; But there are perfectness and peace. Beyond our best desire. Oh, by thy love and anguish, Lord, And by thy life laid down, Grant that we fall not from thy grace, Nor fail to reach our crown!

"Let me go over!"

Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: LD1888 #586 (1888) First Line: On Jordan's rugged banks I stand Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight! 2 O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God, the Son, for ever reigns, And scatters night away. No chilling winds, or poisonous breath, Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 3 When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? Filled with delight, my raptured soul Can here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

"Go over this Jordan"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LD1888 #587 (1888) First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, These gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes:-- Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

The New Jerusalem

Author: F. B. P. Hymnal: LD1888 #588 (1888) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jerusalem! my happy home! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem! my happy home! Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end, In joy, and peace, in thee! 2 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths have no end? 3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know; Blest seats! thro' rude and stormy scenes, I onward press to you. 4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe! Or feel, at death, dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there, Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below, Will join the glorious band. 5 Jerusalem! my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Scripture: Galatians 4:26 Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

"A City"

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: LD1888 #589 (1888) First Line: Jerusalem, the glorious! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the glorious! The glory of the elect,-- O dear and future vision That eager hearts expect! Ev'n now by faith I see thee, Ev'n here thy walls discern; To thee my thoughts are kindled, And strive, and pant, and yearn! 2 The Cross is all thy splendor, The Crucified, thy praise; His land and benediction Thy ransomed people raise;-- Jerusalem! exulting On that securest shore, I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee, And love thee evermore! 3 O sweet and blessed Country! Shall I e'er see thy face? O sweet and blessed Country! Shall I e'er win thy grace? Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part; His only, his for ever, Thou shalt be, and thou art!

"The glory that excelleth"

Author: Charles I. Cameron Hymnal: LD1888 #590 (1888) First Line: Oh, fair the gleams of glory Lyrics: 1 Oh, fair the gleams of glory, And bright the scenes of mirth, That lighten human story And cheer this weary earth; But richer far our treasure With whom the Spirit dwells, Ours, ours in heavenly measure The glory that excels. 2 The lamplight faintly gleameth Where shines the noonday ray; From Jesus' face there beameth Light of a sevenfold day; And earth's pale lights, all faded, The Light from heaven dispels; But shines for aye unshaded The glory that excels. 3 No broken cisterns need they Who drink from living rills; No other music heed they Whom God's own music thrills. Earth's precious things are tasteless, Its boisterous mirth repels, Where flows in measure wasteless The glory that exceeds. 4 Since on our life descended Those beams of light and love, Our steps have heavenward tended, Our eyes have looked above, Till through the clouds concealing The home where glory dwells, Our Jesus comes revealing The glory that excels.

The New Jerusalem

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: LD1888 #591 (1888) First Line: Jerusalem, the golden Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed: I know not, oh, I know not, What social joys are there What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast: And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white.

"Short toil"

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: LD1888 #592 (1888) First Line: Brief life is here our portion Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life, that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there: Oh, happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals, and for sinners, A mansion with the blest! 2 And there is David's fountain, And life in fullest glow; And there the light is golden, And milk and honey flow; The light, that hath no evening, The health, that hath no sore, The life, that hath no ending, But lasteth evermore. 3 There Jesus shall embrace us, There Jesus be embraced,-- That spirit's food and sunshine; Whence earthly love is chased: Yes! God my King and Portion, In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever, And worship face to face. Scripture: Deuteronomy 3:25 Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
