A little further on

Author: G. H. Spring Hymnal: LSSS1870 #129 (1870) Tune Title: [A little further on] First Line: A little further on Lyrics: 1 A little further on, Pilgrim, thy way pursue, Though with thy toilsome journey worn. Yet keep the end in view, Long have thy laboring feet Their weary burden borne, But this will make thy resting sweet, A little further on. 2 A little further on, Through present darkness press, And bid forboding thoughts be gone, If such thy mind oppress. Soon, soon before thine eyes, The coming day will dawn, The glorious sun in splendor rise, A little further on. 3 A little further on, And, pilgrim, thou shalt stand With toils, and pains, and conflicts done, Safe in Immanuel's land. There golden harps will ring, And then before the throne, With songs of praise and triumph sing, A little further on.

Farewell song

Chorus: Grieving so sadly, We whisper farewell, While mournfully, slowly now toileth the bell, Telling of partings that ever must be, Till we through the darkness our Saviour shall see. 2 Our dearest loves decay, On earth it must be so, Lest we forget our heaven, In bliss of life below, So prone are human hearts To wander far from God, That parting scenes must be, And paths of grief be trod. [Chorus] 3 Forget not all the joys, Together we have known; But let them still be dear, When parted and alone, And sometimes let each one, Have tho'ts of prayer for those, The friends to whom the tide Of recollection flows. [Chorus] 4 It may be that the close Of life be seen by some, E'er meeting here again, Our willing footsteps come, Then will our prayerful tho'ts, Swift haste them on their way From earthly toil and care To the Kingdom of the Day. [Chorus]

Hymnal: LSSS1870 #126 (1870) Tune Title: [Hail my ever blessed Jesus] First Line: Hail my ever blessed Jesus Lyrics: 1 Hail my ever blessed Jesus, Only thee I wish to sing, To my soul thy name is precious, Thou my Prophet, Priest, and King; O what mercy flows from heaven, O what joy and happiness, Love I much, I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of Grace. 2 Once with Adam’s race in ruin, Unconcerned in sin I lay; Swift destruction still pursuing, 'Till my Saviour passed that way. Witness all ye hosts of heaven, My Redeemer’s tenderness, Love I much, I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of Grace. 3 Shout, ye bright angelic choir, Praise the Lamb enthroned above, While astonished, I admire God’s free grace and boundless love. That blest moment I received him, Filled my soul with joy and peace, Love I much, I’m much forgiven, I’m a miracle of Grace.

Then brothers and sisters and all, Who left us in days that are past, Will welcome us singing for joy, To the pleasure which always will last,
