The leaves around me falling

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #375 (1867) Topics: Man a Saint In Prospect of Heaven Lyrics: 1 The leaves around me falling Are preaching of decay; The hollow winds are calling, "Come, pilgrim, come away!" The day in night declining Says I, too, must decline; The year its bloom resigning-- Its lot foreshadows mine! 2 The light my path surrounding, The loves to which I cling, The hopes within me bounding, The joys that round me wing-- All, all, like stars at even, Just gleam and shoot away, Pass on before to heaven, And chide at my delay. 3 The friends gone there before me, Are calling from on big, And happy angels o'er me Tempt sweetly to the sky; "Why wait," they say, "and wither, 'Mid scenes of death and sin? Oh rise to glory hither, And find true life begin!" 4 I hear the invitation, And fain would rise and come, A sinner to salvation, An exile to his home; And while I here must linger, Thus, thus, let all I see Point on with faithful finger To heaven, O Lord, and Thee!

When gloomy thoughts and fears

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #377 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Blessedness of the Righteous Lyrics: 1 When gloomy thoughts and fears The trembling heart invade, And all the face of nature wears A universal shade,-- 2 Religion can assuage The tempest of the soul; And every fear shall lose its rage At her divine control. 3 Through life's bewildered way, Her hand unerring leads; And o'er the path her heavenly ray A cheering lustre sheds. 4 When reason, tired and blind, Sinks helpless and afraid, Thou blest supporter of the mind, How powerful is thine aid. 5 Oh let me feel thy power, And find thy sweet relief, To brighten every gloomy hour, And soften every grief.

Oh happy soul that lives on high

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #378 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Blessedness of the Righteous Lyrics: 1 Oh happy soul that lives on high While men lie groveling here, His hopes are fixed above the sky, And faith forbids his fear. 2 His conscience knows no secret stings, While grace and joy combine To form a life, whose holy springs Are hidden and divine. 3 He waits in secret on his God; His God in secret sees. Let earth be all in arms abroad, He dwells in heavenly peace. 4 His pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world and time, Where neither eyes nor ears have been, Nor thoughts of mortals climb. 5 He looks to heaven's eternal hill, To meet that glorious day When Christ His promise shall fulfil And call his soul away.

What cheering words are these?

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #379 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Saint Blessedness of the Righteous Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these? Their sweetness who can tell? In time, and to eternity, ’Tis with the righteous well." 2 In every state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endures, And well when called to die: 3 Well, when they see His face, Or sink amid the flood; Well, in affliction's thorny maze, Or on the mount with God. 4 ’Tis well, when joys arise; ’Tis well, when sorrows flow, ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations grow; 5 'Tis well, when Jesus calls, "From earth and sin arise, To join the hosts of ransomed souls, Made to salvation wise!"

It was not I that found, O Savior true; No, I was found of Thee. 2 Thou didst reach forth Thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea; ’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold, As Thou, dear Lord, on me. ’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold, As Thou, dear Lord, on me. 3 I find, I walk, I love; but O the whole Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee! For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul; Always Thou lovedst me. For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul; Always, always Thou lovedst me. Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
