The New Happy Land
Author: Bernard B. Edmiaston Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: There’s a land all free from sadness Refrain First Line: In that land beyond the river Lyrics: 1 There’s a land all free from sadness,
Out beyond this world of care;
On some bright and glad tomorrow
Shall my spirit enter there?
Refrain:
In that land beyond the river,
Where my soul shall never die;
O, my Lord, will Thou accept me
In that home beyond the sky?
2 Loving friends have gone before us,
And have bidden me to come;
Are their spirits bending o’er me—
Will they bid me welcome home? [Refrain]
3 Age is touching me with sadness,
Soon I shall be called to go;
Shall it be to fields of gladness,
Where the living waters flow? [Refrain] Used With Tune: SANCTUARY Text Sources: Carol Crown by James D. Vaughan (Lawrenceburg, TN: James D. Vaughan, 1915)

The Messenger
Author: Susie V. Aldrich Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: I may hear His voice at morning Lyrics: 1 I may hear His voice at morning,
When the sky is softly bright,
And a flood of golden glory
Tinges every purple height;
Ere my hands begin the labor
Which belongeth to the day,
I may hear Him softly whisper,
Fold thy work and come away.
2 I may hear Him in the noontide,
When the reapers take their rest,
And the golden sheaves are lying
Prostrate on the earth’s warm breast;
In the overpowering brightness
Of the glorious midday sun,
He may come with shining sickle
And life’s work for me be done.
3 I may hear Him in the midnight,
As His voice of solemn cheer
Pierces through the mystic silence,
Whispering: Thy Guest is here;
Rise and climb the upper pathway
Where have walked the sons of God;
I, the Messenger, will lead thee
Safely where their feet have trod.
4 Since He may come in the morning,
At the noon or eventide,
I must have my garments ready,
And my lamp with oil supplied;
I must listen for His knocking,
I must rise and ope the gate,
For He comes to guide me safely
Where the angels for me wait.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted
As Above The Darkest Storm Cloud
Author: Daniel H. Howard Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 As above the darkest storm cloud
Shines the sun, serenely bright
Waiting to restore to nature
All the glory of his light,
So, behind each cloud of sorrow,
So, in each affliction, stands,
Hid, an angel, with a blessing
From the Father in his hand.
2 As without the tempest, pouring
O’er the earth the welcome rain,
All were but a fruitless desert,
Barren sand for ripening grain,
So if ne’er a cloud of sadness
Veiled the sunshine of the soul,
If affliction’s waves were never
Suffered o’er the heart to roll.
3 Love and faith might fail forever
To bring forth their fruits of peace;
Heaven’s good seed of truth would perish
In a thorny wilderness.
So, with cloud and storm and tempest
Grows our earthly summer dim,
That the rebel heart, our Father
Thus may win to turn to Him. Used With Tune: SANCTUARY

Who Is This That Comes From Edom?
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom?
Clad in robes with carnage stained;
Bringing victory and freedom
By His martial prowess gained?
’Tis the Captain of salvation
Who is conquering in the fight,
Rescuing a lost creation
By His unassisted might.
2 Lord, the course Thou art pursuing
Is a course of glorious gain;
But the work which Thou art doing
Is a work of bitter pain;
In a Passion-tide beginning,
It will lead to bright renown;
By it Thou a way art winning
To an everlasting crown.
3 Through Thy cloud of shame and sorrow
Bright gleams of light appear;
Whence we hope and comfort borrow
In our griefs and struggles here;
Thou dost conquer death by dying;
By Thy death we ever live;
And to us in darkness lying
Thou dost endless glory give.
4 Cruel hands of sinners bound Thee,
Thou a sinful world hast freed;
They with thorns in mockery crowned Thee,
Placing in Thy hand a reed;
Now a starry crown Thou wearest,
Heav’nly King, almighty Lord;
Scepter of the world Thou bearest,
And by angels art adored.
5 Glory be to God the Father,
Who has giv’n His only Son;
And in Christ did all men gather
To Himself, and make them one;
And to Him, who by His merit
Gained for us the victory,
And to God the Holy Spirit,
Glory, endless glory, be. Used With Tune: SANCTUARY Text Sources: The Holy Year (London: Rivingtons: 1862)
