Angels of Jesus, Angels of light

Author: Rev. Frederick W. Faber Meter: 11.10.11.10.9.11 Appears in 636 hymnals Topics: Immortal Life First Line: Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore: How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more. Refrain: Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night! 2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, "Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come"; And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the gospel leads us home. [Refrain] 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea; And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. [Refrain] 4 Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. [Refrain] 5 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping; Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above, Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping, And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. [Refrain] Amen. Used With Tune: PILGRIMS (SMART)

Abide With Me

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,753 hymnals Topics: Immortality First Line: Abide with me: fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away. Change and decay in all around I see. O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour. What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless, ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes. Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Lift Up Your Hearts, 2013

Dunn; Caesar Malan Meter: 7.6.7.7.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 No, no, it is not dying, To go unto our God; This gloomy earth forsaking, Our journey homeward taking Along the starry road. 2 No, no, it is not dying Heaven's citizen to be; A crown immortal wearing, And rest unbroken sharing, From care and conflict free. 3 No, no, it is not dying The Shepherd's voice to know: His sheep He ever leadeth, His peaceful flock He feedeth, Where living pastures grow. 4 No, no it is not dying To wear a lordly crown; Among God's people dwelling, The glorious triumph swelling Of Him whose sway we own. 5 Oh, no, this is not dying, Thou Saviour of mankind! There streams of love are flowing, No hindrance ever knowing: Here only drops we find. Amen. Used With Tune: ENOS

Lord, Hear the Right, Regard My Cry

Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the right, regard my cry, My prayer from lips sincere; Send Thy approval from on high, My righteousness make clear. Thou in the night my heart hast tried, Nor found it turned from Thee aside. 2 With steadfast courage I design No wrong to speak or do; Thy path of life I choose for mine And walk with purpose true. For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 3 O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thy almighty aid, Let me Thy loving-kindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 4 O guard me well as one would guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry. Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o'er shadow me. 5 My enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. 6 Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life's treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth's joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. 7 When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied.

O Love that lights the eastern sky

Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Immortal Life Lyrics: 1 O Love that lights the eastern sky And shrouds the evening rest, From out whose hand the swallows fly, Within whose heart they nest! 2 O life, content beneath the blue! Or, if God will, the gray, Then tranquil yet, till light breaks through To melt the mist away! 3 O death that sails so close to shore At twilight! From my gate I scan the darkening sea once more, And for its message wait. 4 What lies beyond the afterglow? To life's new dawn how far? As if an answer, spoken low, Love lights the evening star. Amen. Used With Tune: VITTEL WOODS
