Hymn 110

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 209 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1 First Line: There is a house not made with hands Lyrics: There is a house not made with hands, Eternal and on high; And here my spirit waiting stands, Till God shall bid it fly. Shortly this prison of my clay Must be dissolved and fall; Then, O my soul! with joy obey Thy heav'nly Father's call. 'Tis he, by his almighty grace, That forms thee fit for heav'n; And, as an earnest of the place, Has his own Spirit giv'n. We walk by faith of joys to come, Faith lives upon his word; But while the body is our home, We're absent from the Lord. 'Tis pleasant to believe thy grace, But we had rather see; We would be absent from the flesh, And present, Lord, with thee.

Refrain: Oh, we know there’s a home, High around our Father’s throne, oh, joyful home! For the light is streaming down, And we see our golden crown; Soon the Lord will bid me come, To our bright eternal home, over there. 2 Fools who doubt within the heart Take a leap into the dark, Knowing not our home above, over there; But we taste and fully prove A sweet paradise of love, over there. [Refrain] 3 Heaven’s seal within us proves, When our earthly house dissolves, There’s a house not made with hands, over there; For our spirit ready stands In the sweet and vernal lands, over there.

Our God is marching on.

Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolved

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:1-11 Lyrics: Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolved, in death and ruins lie; But better mansions wait the just, prepared above the sky. An house eternal, built by God, shall lodge the holy mind, When once those prison-walIs have fall’n by which ‘tis now confined. Hence, burdened with a weight of clay, we groan beneath the load, Waiting the hour which sets us free, and brings us home to God. We know, that when the soul, unclothed, shall from this body fly, ’Twill animate a purer frame with life that cannot die. Such are the hopes that cheer the just; these hopes their God hath giv’n; His Spirit is the earnest now, and seals their souls for heav’n. We walk by faith of joys to come, faith grounded on his word; But while this body is our home, we mourn an absent Lord. What faith rejoices to believe, we long and pant to see; we would be absent from the flesh, and present, Lord! with thee. But still, or here, or going hence, to this our labours tend, That, in his service spent, our life may in his favour end. 144 For, lo! before the Son, as judge, th’ assembled world shall stand, To take the punishment or prize from his unerring hand. Impartial retributions then our diff’rent lives await; Our present actions, good or bad, shall fix our future fate.

Jerusalem the Golden

I know not, oh, I know not, what joys await us there; what radiancy of glory, what bliss 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 shout of them that triumph, the song of them that feast; and they who with their Leader have conquered in the fight, forever and forever are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, the home of God's elect; O dear and future vision, that eager hearts expect: even now by faith we see thee, even here thy walls discern; to thee our thoughts are kindled; for thee our spirits yearn.
