One sweetly solemn thought
Author: P. Cary Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #559 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home today
Than I ever have been before;
2 Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea,
Nearer my Father's house,
Where the "many mansions" be;
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown;
4 But lying darkly between,
Winding down thro' the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen the hand of my faith:
Let me feel Thee near when I stand
On the edge of the shore of death;
6 Feel Thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I'm nearer home,
Nearer now than I think. Languages: English Tune Title: AMBROSE
One sweetly solemn thought
There is a land of peace and love
Author: F. Stanfield Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #560 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 There is a land of peace and love,
Where troubled hearts find rest
No gloom, no storm, nor lonely night
Can ever dim th' eternal light
Of that bright home above.
2 No sorrow e'er can reach that shore,
And there no tear shall fall;
Earth's glories all shall pass away,
Lost in the light of endless day,
And grief shall be no more.
3 And oh! when on our raptured gaze
Shall break the sight of God,
Then shall our harboured spirits rest
Wrapt in the vision of the bless'd
Mid songs of ceaseless praise.
4 Then shall life's fevered toil be o'er,
And restless hearts be calm;
Then shall these anxious yearnings cease,
And troubled spirits rest in peace
On Heaven's eternal shore.
5 Fear not, though still earth's dark'ning gloom
O'ershadows life's lone path;
Jesus has shown the heavenward way
Which leads to realms of endless day,
To our dear Father's home. Languages: English Tune Title: STANFIELD
There is a land of peace and love
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Author: J. Borthwick; B. Schmolck Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #547 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
O may Thy will be mine!
In to Thy hand of love
I would my all resign;
Through sorrow or through joy
Conduct me as Thine own,
And help me still to say,
My Lord, Thy will be done.
2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Tho' seen through many a tear,
Let not my star of hope
Grow dim or disappear;
Since Thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone,
If I must weep with Thee,
My Lord, Thy will be done!
3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
Each changing future scene
I gladly trust with Thee:
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
And sing in life or death,
My Lord, Thy will be done! Languages: English Tune Title: BROUGHTON
My Jesus, as Thou wilt!
Forever with the Lord!
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #675a (1894) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord!
Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
And immortality!
2 Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
3 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near,
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
4 Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!
5 Then, then I feel that He,
Remembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive Him not.
6 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Forever with the Lord!]

One sweetly solemn thought
Take my life, and let it be
Author: F. R. Havergal Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #551 (1920) Topics: General Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3 Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store:
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all, for Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: IVES

As when the weary traveller gains
Author: Rev. J. Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #677a (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Home and Personal Use Lyrics: 1 As, when the weary traveller gains
The height of some commanding hill,
His heart revives, if o'er the plains
He eyes his home, tho' distant still;
2 Thus when the Christian pilgrim views
By faith his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
3 The thought of heaven his spirit cheers;
No more he grieves for troubles past;
Nor any future trial fears,
So he may safe arrive at last.
4 Jesus, on Thee our hopes we stay,
To lead us on to Thine abode;
Assured Thy love will far o'erpay
The hardest labors of the road.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [As when the weary traveller gains]
