How Glorious Is the Life Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How glorious is the life above Which in this ordinance we taste, That fullness of celestial love, That joy which shall for ever last! 2. That heavenly life in Christ concealed These earthen vessels could not bear; The part which now we find revealed No tongue of angels can declare. 3. The light of life eternal darts Into our souls a dazzling ray; A drop of Heaven o’erflows our hearts, And deluges the house of clay. 4. Sure pledge of ecstasies unknown Shall this divine communion be: The ray shall rise into a sun, The drop shall swell into a sea.

To Realms Beyond the Sounding Sea

Author: Henry M. Gunn, 1817-1886 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. To realms beyond the sounding sea, Thy hand has led our sons afar; Lord, give them grace to live for Thee; Be still their shield and guiding star. 2. Bless with success their daily toils; Strength for each hour’s demands impart; With fruitful seasons, genial soils, O give a grateful, trusting heart. 3. Though exiled from the fatherland, Its temple-homes of praise and prayer, May they, on yonder distant strand, A house for God with gladness rear. 4. There make the places of Thy feet Most glorious—there Thy grace display; That myriads thence Thy smile may greet, When Heaven and earth have passed away. Used With Tune: BROCKHAM

There is one way, and only one

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is one way, and only one, Out of our gloom, and sin, and care, To that fair land where shines no sun Because the face of God is there. 2 There is one truth, the truth of God, That Christ came down from heaven to show, One life that His redeeming blood Has won for all His saints below. 3 The lore, from Philip once concealed, To us is fully known in Christ; In Him the Father is revealed, And all our longing is sufficed. 4 And still unwavering faith holds sure The words that James wrote sternly down; Except we labour and endure, We cannot win the heavenly crown. 5 O Way divine, through gloom and strife, Bring us Thy Father's face to see; O heavenly Truth, O precious Life, At last, at last, to rest in Thee. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Philip and St. James Used With Tune: [There is one way, and only one]
