Jerusalem, my happy home
Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #558 (1917) Topics: Heaven Our Home; Home Heaven our Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labours have an end,
In joy, and peace, and Thee?
2 When shall these eyes Thy heaven-built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats, through rude and stormy scenes
I onward press to you.
4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there
Around my Saviour stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.
6 Jerusalem, my happy home,
My soul still pants for Thee!
Then shall my labours have an end,
When I Thy joys shall see.

Leader of faithful souls, and Guide
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #561 (1917) Topics: Heaven Our Home; Home Heaven our Lyrics: 1 Leader of faithful souls, and Guide
Of all who travel to the sky,
Come, and with us, even us, abide,
Who would on Thee alone rely;
On Thee alone our spirits stay,
While held in life's uneven way.
2 Strangers and pilgrims here below,
This earth, we know is not our place;
But hasten through the vale of woe,
And, restless to behold Thy face,
Swift to our heavenly country move,
Our everlasting home above.
3 We've no abiding city here,
But seek a city out of sight;
Thither our steady course we steer,
Aspiring to the plains of light,
Jerusalem, the saints' abode,
Whose founder is the living God.
4 Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne,
Freely and graciously forgiven,
With songs to Zion we return,
Contending for our native heaven,
That palace of our glorious King,
We find it nearer while we sing.
5 Raised by the breath of love divine,
We urge our way with strength renewed;
The church of the first-born to join,
We travel to the mount of God;
With joy upon our heads arise,
And meet our Captain in the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: DURA

"For ever with the Lord!"
Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #562 (1917) Topics: Heaven Our Home; Home Heaven our Lyrics: 1 "For ever with the Lord!"
Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality!
Here is the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near!
At times, to faith's unclouded eye,
Thy golden gates appear.
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!
3 "For ever with the Lord!"
Father, if 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
Even here to me fulfil.
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand;
Fight, and I must prevail.
4 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"For ever with the Lord!" Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER HOME
"For ever with the Lord!"
I'm but a stranger here
Author: T. R. Taylor, 1807-1835 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #565 (1917) Topics: Heaven Our Home; Home Heaven our Lyrics: 1 I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is my home;
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand;
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home.
2 What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home;
And time's wild wintry blast
Soon will be overpassed;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.
3 There at my Saviour's side
Heaven is my home
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home;
There are the good and blest,
Those I love most and best;
And there I too shall rest,
Heaven is my home.
4 Therefore I murmur not,
Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heaven is my home;
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand;
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home. Languages: English Tune Title: FATHERLAND

The homeland! the homeland!
Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #580 (1917) Topics: Home Heaven our Lyrics: 1 The homeland! the homeland!
The land of the freeborn;
There's no night in the homeland,
But aye the fadeless morn:
I'm sighing for the homeland,
My heart is aching here;
There's no pain in the homeland,
To which I'm drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
There's no sin in the homeland,
And no temptation there:
The voices of the homeland
Are ringing in my ears;
And when I think of the homeland,
My eyes are filled with tears.
3 For those I love in the homeland
Are calling me away,
To the rest and peace of the homeland
And the life beyond decay;
For there's no death in the homeland,
There is no grief above;
Christ brings us all to the homeland
Of His eternal love! Languages: English Tune Title: THE HOMELAND
The homeland! the homeland!
'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #580 (1870) Topics: Heaven as Home Lyrics: 1 'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints,
How sweet to my soul is communion with saints!
To find at the banquet of mercy there's room,
And feel in the presence of Jesus at home!
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
2 Sweet bonds, that unite all the children of peace!
And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease!
Though oft from Thy presence in sadness I roam,
I long to behold Thee in glory at home.
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
3 I sigh from this body of sin to be free,
Which hinders my joy and communion with Thee;
Though now my temptations like billows may foam,
All, all will be peace, when I'm with Thee at home.
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
4 While here in the valley of conflict I stay,
Oh, give me submission and strength as my day;
In all my afflictions to Thee would I come,
Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home.
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
5 Whate'er Thou deniest, oh, give my Thy grace,
The Spirit's sure witness, and smiles of Thy face;
Indulge me with patience to wait at Thy throne,
And find even now a sweet foretaste of home.
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home.
6 I long, dearest Lord, in Thy beauties to shine,
No more as an exile in sorrow to pine,
And in Thy fair image arise from the tomb,
With glorified millions to praise Thee at home.
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Prepare me, dear Saviour, for glory, my home. Languages: English

Whose dear forms you often miss,
When you close your earthly story
Will you join them in their bliss?
Refrain:
Will the circle be unbroken
by and by, yes, by and by?

in the sky, in the sky?

Oft they told of wondrous love,
Pointed to the dying Savior,
Now they dwell with Him above. [Refrain]

Which you sang with childish voice,
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
Or are songs of earth your choice? [Refrain]
4 You can picture happy gath’rings
Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below. [Refrain]

One by one they went away,
Now the fam'ly is parted,
Will it be complete one day? [Refrain] Scripture: Ephesians 2:19 Languages: English Tune Title: UNBROKEN CIRCLE
