O my Lord, I see thee face to face Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here faith would touch and handle things unseen; here grasp with firmer hand th'eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n; here would I lay aside each earthly load; here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. 3 I have no help but thee; nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed, my strength is in thy might, thy might alone.

Faith Is the Victory

Author: John H. Yates Appears in 243 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11 First Line: Encamped along the hills of light Lyrics: 1 Encamped along the hills of light, Ye Christian soldiers, rise, And press the battle ere the night Shall veil the glowing skies. Against the foe in vales below, Let all our strength be hurled; Faith is the victory, we know, That overcomes the world. Chorus: Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! O glorious victory That overcomes the world. 2 His banner over us is love, Our sword the Word of God; We tread the road the saints above With shouts of triumph trod. By faith they, like a whirlwind's breath, Swept on o'er ev'ry field; The faith by which they conquered death Is still our shining shield. [Chorus] 3 On ev'ry hand the foe we find Drawn up in dread array; Let tents of ease be left behind, And - onward to the fray. Salvation's helmet on each head, With truth all girt about, The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread, And echo with our shout. [Chorus] 4 To him who overcomes the foe White raiment shall be giv'n; Before the angels he shall know His name confessed in heav'n. Then onward from the hills of light, Our hearts with love aflame; We'll vanquish all the hosts of night, In Jesus' conq'ring name. [Chorus] Topics: Faith; Warfare & Victory Used With Tune: [Encamped along the hills of light]

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-3 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 What are the monarch, the court, and the throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones, who in it have share, all that they feel could as fully declare! 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, vision of peace, that brings joy evermore; wish and fulfillment can be severed ne'er, nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing, while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blessed people eternally raise. 5 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh, seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 6 Low before God with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; praise to the Father, and praise to the Son, praise to the Spirit, with them ever one.
