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
O God, Preserve Me, for in Thee
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

There's a Land That Is Fairer than Day
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
The sands of time are sinking
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
When shall we meet again?
The Hope, which is the Anchor of the Soul
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: The Hope, that maketh not Ashamed: a Hope full of Immortality First Line: O God, my Sun, thy blissful rays Lyrics: 1 O God, my Sun, thy blissful rays
Irradiate, warm, and guide my heart!
How dark, how mournful are my days,
If his enliv'ning beams depart!
2 Scarce thro' the shades, a glimpse of day,
Appears to these desiring eyes!
But shall my drooping spirit say,
The chearful morn will never rise?
3 O let me not despairing mourn,
Tho' gloomy darkness spreads the sky;
My glorious Sun will yet return,
And night with all its horrors fly.
4 O for the bright the joyful day,
When hope shall in assurance die!
So tapers lose their feeble ray,
Beneath the Sun's refulgent eye. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13 Text Sources: Rippon's Coll.
The Hope, which is the Anchor of the Soul
