O God, Preserve Me, for in Thee

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 O God, preserve me, for in Thee Alone my trust has stood; My soul has said, Thou art my Lord, My chief and only good. 2 I love Thy saints, who fear Thy Name And walk as in Thy sight; They are the excellent of earth, In them is my delight. 3 Their sorrows shall be multiplied Who worship aught but Thee; I share not in their offerings, Nor join their company. 4 The Lord is my inheritance, The Lord alone remains The fulness of my cup of bliss; The Lord my lot maintains. 5 The lines are fallen unto me In places large and fair; A goodly heritage is mine, Marked out with gracious care. Scripture: Psalm 16 Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Friend after friend departs

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 Friend after friend departs: Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end: Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. 2 Beyond the flight of time, Beyond the reign of death, There surely is some blessèd clime, Where life is not a breath, Nor life's affections, transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward to expire. 3 There is a world above, Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love Formed for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here Translated to that glorious sphere. 4 Thus star by star declines, Till all are passed away; As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night, But hide themselves in heaven's own light. Amen. Used With Tune: DWIGHT

The sands of time are sinking

Author: Annie Ross Cousin Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Appears in 330 hymnals Topics: Immortal Life 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 hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 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 fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 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 Immanuel's land. Amen. Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD

When shall we meet again?

Author: Samuel F. Smith; Alaric A. Watts Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 When shall we meet again?-- Meet ne'er to sever? When will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever? Our hearts will ne'er repose Safe from each blast that blows, In this dark vale of woes— Never--no, never! 2 When shall love freely flow, Pure as life's river? When shall sweet friendship glow Changeless forever? Where joys celestial thrill, Where bliss each heart shall fill, And fears of parting chill, Never--no, never! 3 Up to that world of light, Take us, dear Saviour; May we all there unite, Happy forever: Where kindred spirits dwell, There may our music swell, And time our joys dispel, Never--no, never! 4 Soon shall we meet again-- Meet ne'er to sever; Soon will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever; Our hearts will then repose Secure from worldly woes; Our songs of praise shall close Never--no, never! Amen. Used With Tune: UNITY

Brief life is here our portion

Author: John M. Neale; Bernard of Cluny Appears in 249 hymnals Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there; Oh, happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals, and for sinners, A mansion with the blest! 2 There grief is turned to pleasure,-- Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know; And after fleshly weakness, And after this world's night, And after storm and whirlwind, Are calm and joy and light. 3 For thee, O dear, dear country! Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name they weep: The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, And love, and life, and rest. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, BOLTON
