Our salvation near

Author: A. M. Toplady Hymnal: LD1890 #329 (1890) Tune Title: ALEXANDER 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.

Hear us, Saviour, And unvail thy glorious face. 3 None in vain did ever ask thee For the Spirit of thy love; Hear us, then, dear Saviour, hear us; Grant an answer from above; Blessed Saviour, Hear and answer from above.

The better portion

Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: LD1890 #566 (1890) Tune Title: AMSTERDAM First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Toward heaven, thy native place: Sun and moon and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So a soul that's born of God, Pants to view his glorious face; Upward tends to his abode, To rest in his embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon our Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven.

I'd sing his glorious righteousness, In which all-perfect heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine. 3 I'd sing the characters he bears, And all the forms of love he wears, Exalted on his throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all his glories known. 4 Well--the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face: Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend, Triumphant in his grace.

Loving and Beloved

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: LD1890 #393 (1890) Tune Title: ARMENIA First Line: Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Lyrics: 1 Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Behold my heart, and see; And turn the dearest idol out That dares to rival thee. 2 Is not thy name melodious still To mine attentive ear? Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound, My Saviour's voice to hear? 3 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock I would disdain to feed? Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead? 4 Would not my heart pour forth its blood In honor of thy name? And challenge the cold hand of death To damp the immortal flame? 5 Thou knowest that I love thee, Lord; But, oh, I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more.
