A few more years shall roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 385 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
3 'Tis but a little while
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him may reign.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away! Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

The Lord's my Shepherd
Appears in 627 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Trust and Confidence; Aspiration and Hope First Line: The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green, He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
2 My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own Name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table Thou hast furnishèd
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be. Used With Tune: BELMONT Text Sources: "Scottish Psalter"

Who knows his sins forgiven!
This earth, he cries, is not my place,
I seek my place in heaven:
A country far from mortal sight
Yet, O by faith I see
The land of rest, the saints' delight,
The heaven prepared for me.
2 A stranger in the world below,
I calmly sojourn here;
Nor can its happiness or woe
Provoke my hope or fear.
Its evils in a moment end,
Its joys as soon are past;
But, O the bliss to which I tend
Eternally shall last!
3 To that Jerusalem above
With singing I repair;
While in the flesh, my hope and love,
My heart and soul, are there:
There my exalted Saviour stands,
My merciful High Priest,
And still extends His wounded hands
To take me to His breast. Used With Tune: SPES CELESTIS

'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Blessedness future, anticipated; Christians their life and experience; Death anticipation of; Hope in anticipation of death Lyrics: 1 'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope,
That when my change shall come,
Angels will hover round my bed,
And waft my spirit home!
2 There shall my disimprison'd soul
Behold Him and adore;
Be with his likeness satisfied,
And grieve and sin no more:
3 Shall see Him wear that very flesh
On which my guilt was lain;
His love intense, His merit fresh,
As though but newly slain.
4 Soon, too, my slumbering dust shall hear
The trumpet's quick'ning sound;
And, by my Saviour's power rebuilt,
At His right hand be found.
5 These eyes shall see Him in that day,
The God that died for me!
And all my rising bones shall say,
Lord, who is like to Thee!
6 If such the views which grace unfolds,
Weak as it is below,
What raptures must the Church above,
In Jesus' presence know.
'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope

Forever with the Lord
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 638 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Hope First Line: Forever with the Lord! Refrain First Line: Nearer home, nearer home Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord!
Amen! so let it be;
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
Chorus:
Nearer home, nearer home,
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul! how near
At times to faith's fore-seeing eye
The golden gates appear!
Ah, then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above! [Chorus]
3 Forever with the Lord!
Father, it is Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E'en here to me fulfill.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!" [Chorus]
