How Sweet Is Life

Author: E. H. Caylor Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How sweet is life, yet soon ’tis past Lyrics: 1 How sweet is life, yet soon ’tis past, And all its plea­sures gone; The spir­it to its God must haste; The bo­dy to the tomb. 2 O, sol­emn thought, I too must die, And to the tomb des­cend; This cher­ished bo­dy, too, must lie— Lo! with the dust to blend. 3 And can it be that I must stand Before the bar of God? And there my trem­bling soul de­fend, Against His right­eous word? 4 O pre­cious Christ, to Thee I cling, Upon Thy blood re­ly; To Thee my soul at once I bring; And at Thy feet I lie. 5 Saved by Thy grace, I shall be Thine, And with Thee ev­er live; And Heav­en’s beau­ties shall be mine While praise to Thee I’ll give.

Do Something For Jesus

Author: Kate Van Wie Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Do some­thing for Jesus, He does much for thee Lyrics: 1 Do some­thing for Jesus, He does much for thee; Go work in His vine­yard to­day; The fields for the har­vest al­rea­dy are white, And time is fast pass­ing away. To the wea­ry, go whis­per those words of the Lord, "Come to Me, and re­ceive of My rest"; If trust­ing in Christ, thou shalt la­bor for Him, Thy labor will be sure­ly be blest. 2 Go vi­sit the sick, and the lame, and the blind, Rejoice thou with those that re­joice; There’s much thou can’st do for Christ now with thy hands, But more thou can’st do with thy voice. Don’t wait for a chance to do good, to ap­pear, But seek thou for some­thing to do; And al­ways, in all of thy la­bor for Christ, The glo­ry of Christ keep in view. 3 By and by when the la­bor of love shall be o’er, The light of thy life fades away, And glo­ri­ous dawn shall burst bright on thy sight, The dawn of a mea­surel­ess day. And when thou hast en­tered the realms of the blest, Thou shalt kneel at the great shin­ing throne, And riv­ers of joy shall sweep ov­er thy soul, At those words of thy Mas­ter, "Well done!"

O wake ye worn and wea­ry To glo­ry great awak­ing; The star of morn is ris­ing, O’er all the heav­ens grand. Refrain: Behold, be­hold, To all of Christ­en­dom, Behold, be­hold, The Bride­groom lo, is come. The trum­pet loud ap­pall­ing, With bright arch­an­gels call­ing, Be ready—are you rea­dy? The Bride­groom lo, has come. 2 The King in bea­uty com­eth, With trump­ets loud­ly sound­ing, Make ready brid­al torch­es, And bright­ly let them burn. Make ready all ye saint­ed, Ye hearts with rap­ture bound­ing; Remember, O re­mem­ber, The Savior would re­turn. [Refrain] 3 Behold, the Bride­groom com­eth, Your lamps have trimmed and light­ed; Our Je­sus Lord and Master, Your eyes you scarce be­lieve. He com­eth, O He com­eth, But do not be af­fright­ed, Rejoicing and with shout­ing, The Sav­ior we re­ceive.

The Noble Calling

Author: Grace Melbourne Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Onward, bro­ther, nob­ly on­ward Lyrics: 1 Onward, bro­ther, nob­ly on­ward, Swell the ranks of truth and right; Let your light be grand and glor­ious, For the cause of jus­tice fight; Shrink not from the field of la­bor, Farthest from the path of fame; Look not for­ward to the hour When a na­tion speaks your name. 2 Gently raise a fall­en bro­ther, Jesus’ lost and wea­ry sheep; And re­mem­bering His ex­am­ple, Lead them up the moun­tains steep; Just across the mys­tic riv­er, In that pure and si­nless land, Angel bands ap­plaud your work, And will lend a help­ing hand. 3 To direct your footsteps ev­er, Higher up the mount­ain side, Nearer to the hap­py man­sions, Just a­cross the flow­ing tide; When the souls are unit­ed, And the pain of life has fled, Oh! what joy to see some soul, That your words have home­ward led. 4 Or to hear the gen­tle bless­ing, Of a trust­ing lit­tle child, That your hands have gent­ly guid­ed To the Sav­ior un­de­filed; Onward, bro­ther, nob­ly on­ward, Swell the ranks of truth and right; May your life be grand and glor­ious, And your crown with stars be bright.

My Home In Heaven

Author: M. M. Bain Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Although to me no qui­et home Lyrics: 1 Although to me no qui­et home In this world may be giv’n, So sweet­ly still the whis­pers come, I have a home in Heav’n; A home for me was pur­chased there With Christ’s own pre­cious blood, That I with Him its bliss might share Forever with my God. 2 And if for­ev­er with my God My rap­tured soul shall be, When o’er this wea­ry path I’ve trod, What are its toils to me? No more I’ll grieve at pre­sent pain, But on­ward urge my way, Until the heav’n­ly bliss I gain, Which lasts thro’ end­less day. 3 Though wea­ry oft and much op­pressed, Because of tri­als sore, I’ll on His bless­èd pro­mise rest, Till tri­als are no more, And when eter­nal years have fled, Still all my song shall be, To Him who for my ran­som bled, To Him who died for me.

No gloom, no night, nor cloud of grief Can ev­er cast a shade Across those sun­ny plains of peace In light and love ar­rayed! Refrain: The world ab­ove is not like this, So dark, so sad, and drear; Oh no, for there the years of bliss Roll on with­out a tear! 2 The world ab­ove is not like this, No part­ing tears are shed, Nor sweet af­fect­ion’s lin­ger­ing kiss, Bestowed up­on the dead; There sev­ered hearts unite again, In love around the throne, And far be­yond this world of pain Take up their crown and home! [Refrain] 3 Oh for a harp in that bright world, Far from the tears of this; Here death’s black bann­ers are un­furled To shade each hour of bliss; But there each spir­it-harp will thrill With mu­sic’s end­less tones, And Je­sus’ smile for­ev­er fill With light our an­gel homes.
