Upward where the stars are burning

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnal #428 (1950) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Immortal Life Lyrics: 1 Upward where the stars are burning, Silent, silent in their turning Round the never-changing pole; Upward where the sky is brightest, Upward where the blue is lightest, Lift I now my longing soul. 2 Where the Lamb on high is seated, By ten thousand voices greeted, Lord of lords, and King of kings. Son of Man, they crown, they crown Him, Son of God, they own, they own Him; With His Name the palace rings. 3 Blessing, honor, without measure, Heavenly riches, earthly treasure, Lay we at His blessed feet; Poor the praise that now we render, Loud shall be our voices yonder, When before His throne we meet. Amen. Tune Title: BONAR

O what their joy and their glory must be

Author: Rev. John Mason Neale; Pierre Abelard (1079-1142) Hymnal: The Hymnal #430 (1950) Topics: Immortal Life Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see; Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be All, and in all ever blest. 2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, "Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore; Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er, Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing; While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise Thy blessed people shall evermore raise. 4 Low before Him with our praises we fall, Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son; In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One. Amen. Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA

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. Tune Title: PILGRIMS (SMART)

Amen. Scripture: Revelation 22:1 Tune Title: ACHNASHEEN

Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnal #433 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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. Tune Title: VITTEL WOODS

The streams on earth I've tasted More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time He wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustered by His love. I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. Amen. Tune Title: RUTHERFORD

O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Tune Title: EWING
