Gliding Swiftly By

Author: D. Nelson Hymnal: Christ in Song #742 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: My days are gliding swiftly by Refrain First Line: For O, we stand on Jordan's strand Lyrics: 1 My days are gliding swiftly by, And I, a pilgrim stranger, Would not detain them as they fly These hours of toil and danger; Chorus: For O, we stand on Jordan's strand, And soon we'll all pass over; And just before, the shining shore, We may almost discover. 2 We'll gird our loins, my brethren dear, Our distant home discerning; Our absent Lord has left us word, Let ev'ry lamp be burning. [Chorus] 3 Should coming days be cold and dark, We need not cease our singing; That perfect rest naught can molest, Where golden harps are ringing. [Chorus] 4 Let sorrow's rudest tempests blow, Each cord on earth to sever, Our King says, Come, and there's our home, Forever, O, forever! [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: SHINING SHORE

How Far From Home?

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: Christ in Song #845 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: How far from home! I asked, as on Lyrics: 1. How far from home? I asked, as on I bent my steps--the watchman spake: "The long, dark night is almost gone, The morning soon will break. Then weep no more, but speed thy flight, With Hope's bright star thy guiding ray, Till thou shalt reach the realms of light, In everlasting day." 2. I asked the warrior on the field: This was his soul-inspiring song: "With courage, bold, the sword I'll wield, The battle is not long. Then weep no more, but well endure The conflict, till thy work is done; For this we know, the prize is sure, When victory is won." 3. I asked again; earth, sea, and sun Seemed, with one voice, to make reply: "Time's wasting sands are nearly run, Eternity is nigh. Then weep no more--with warning tones Portentious signs are thick'ning round, The whole creation, waiting, groans, To hear the trumpet sound." 4. Not far from home! O blessed thought! The trav'ler's lonely heart to cheer; Which oft a healing balm has brought, And dried the mourner's tear. Then weep no more, since we shall meet Where weary footsteps never roam Or trials past, our joys complete, Safe in our Father's home. Languages: English Tune Title: [How far from home? I asked, as on]
