O mother dear, Jerusalem

Author: "F. B. P.," 16th century Hymnal: The Hymnal #436 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Immortal Life Lyrics: 1 O mother dear, Jerusalem, When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 2 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green, They grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. Right through the streets, with silver sound, The living waters flow, And on the banks, on either side, The trees of life do grow. 3 Those trees forevermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; Then evermore the angels are, And evermore do sing. Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen. Tune Title: MATERNA

I heard a sound of voices

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Hymnal #437 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: Immortal Life Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To Him that sat thereon: "Salvation, glory, honor," I heard the song arise, As through the courts of heaven it rolled In wondrous harmonies. 2 From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of Him who died, and lives, Their one glad triumph song. 3 O Lamb of God Who reignest, Thou Bright and Morning Star, Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far; O worthy Judge Eternal, When Thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl, And call Thy servants home. Amen. Tune Title: PATMOS

Sunset and evening star

Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: The Hymnal #438 (1950) Meter: Irregular Topics: Immortal Life Lyrics: 1 Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, 2 But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. 3 Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; 4 For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Amen. Tune Title: CROSSING THE BAR

Amen. Tune Title: ULTIMA

John Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal #440 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: Immortal Life Lyrics: 1 Now the laborer's task is o'er; Now the battle day is past; Now upon the farther shore Lands the voyager at last. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 2 There the tears of earth are dried; There its hidden things are clear; There the work of life is tried By a juster Judge than here. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. 3 "Earth to earth, and dust to dust"; Calmly now the words we say; Left behind, we wait in trust, For the resurrection-day. Father, in Thy gracious keeping Leave we now Thy servant sleeping. Amen. Tune Title: REQUIESCAT
