Heavenward still our pathway tends

Author: B. Schmolk Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Heavenward still our pathway tends, Here on earth we are but strangers; Till our road in Canaan ends, Safely passed this wild of dangers, Pilgrims we, a scattered band, Seek above our fatherland. 2 Heavenward still, my soul, ascend! Thou art one of heaven's creations; Earth can ne'er give aim or end Fit to fill thy aspirations; And a heaven-enlightened mind Evermore its source to find. 3 Heavenward still! God's volume blest, Thus, throughout its sacred pages, calls on me, and speaks its rest, Rest with Him through endless ages; While my heart that call attends, Still to heaven my path ascends. 4 Heavenward still my thoughts arise, When His festal board invites me; Then my spirit upward flied, Foretaste then of heaven delight me: When on earth this food hath ceased, Comes the Lamb's own marriage-feast. 5 Heavenward still my spirit wends, That fair land by faith exploring; Heavenward still my heart ascends, Sun and moon and stars out-soaring: Their faint rays in vain would try With the light of heaven to vie. 5 Heavenward still, when life shall close, Death to my true home shall guide me: Then, triumphant o'er my woes, Lasting bliss shall God provide me; Christ Himself the way has led; Joyful in His steps I tread. 6 Still then heavenward! heavenward still! That shall be my watchword ever! Joys of heaven my heart shall fill, Chasing joys that filled it never; Heavenward still my thoughts shall run, Till the gate of heaven is won. Used With Tune: [Heavenward still our pathway tends]

As through this changing world we roam

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 78 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 As through this changing world we roam From infancy to age, Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home, His rest at every stage; Thither his raptured thoughts ascend, Eternal joys to share; There his adoring spirit bends, While here he kneels in prayer. 2 From earth his freed affections rise To fix on things above, Where all his hope of glory lies, And love is perfect love; Ah! there may we our treasure place, There let our hearts be found, That sill where sin abounded, grace May more and more abound.
