If, On a Quiet Sea

Author: Rev, A. M. Toplady Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #335 (1929) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven First Line: If, on a quiet sea Lyrics: 1. If, on a quiet sea, Tow'rd heav'n we calmly sail, With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee, We'll own the fav'ring gale; With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee, We'll own the fav'ring gale. 2. But should the surges rise, And rest delay to come, Blest be the tempest, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home; Blest be the tempest, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home. 3. Soon shall our doubts and fears All yield to Thy control; Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul; Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul. 4. Teach us, in ev'ry state, To make Thy will our own; And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone; And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone.

The Sands of Time Are Sinking

Author: Mrs. A. R. Cousin Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #336 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Lyrics: 1. The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks, The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair sweet morn awakes; Dark, dark hat been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 2. The King there in His beauty Without a veil is seen; It were a well-spent journey Tho' seven deaths lay between: The lamb with his fair army Doth on Mount Zion stand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 3. O Christ, He is the Fountain The deep sweet Well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 4. With mercy and with judgment My web of time He wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustered by His love: I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land.

Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall; May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heav'n, my all,... My God, my heav'n, my all. 4. There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heav'nly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast,... Across my peaceful breast. Languages: English Tune Title: MILES LANE

Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not What joys await us there; What radiancy of glory! What bliss beyond compare! 2. They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3. There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they, who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4. O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #340 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Lyrics: 1. There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleausres banish pain. There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flow'rs: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav'nly land from ours. 2. Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green; So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shiv'ring, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 3. Oh, could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes!-- Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Nor Jordan's stream nor death's cold flood Should fright us from the shore. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: VARINA

Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #343 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Lyrics: 1. Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Halleluia, halleluia, Halleluia, Lord, to Thee! Multitudes which none can number Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hand. 2. They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3. Now they reign in heav'nly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste forever, Heav'nly truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity.

Through joy or sadness, calm or strife, come, praise the love that gives us life. 2 Now Jesus lived and gave his love to make our life and loving new, so celebrate with him today and drink the joy he offers you that makes the simple moment shine and changes water into wine. 3 And Jesus died to live again so praise the love that, come what may, can bring the dawn and clear the skies, and waits to wipe all tears away; and let us hope for what shall be believing where we cannot see. 4 Then spread the table, clear the hall and celebrate till day is done; let peace go deep between us all and joy be shared by everyone: laugh and make merry with your friends and praise the love that never ends!
