O tell me of heaven, sweet heaven
Author: Sarah M. Swan Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1008 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 O tell me of heaven, sweet heaven,
The home of the pure and the blest,
Where sorrow and sin cannot enter,
Where the weary forever shall rest.
Let me hear of that heavenly city,
Where all is immortal and fair;
And I'll flee from all earthly enchantments,
And earnestly long to be there,
And earnestly long to be there.
2 Let others seek earthly possessions,
And lay up their treasures below;
I have heard of a land that is better,
And to seek it with ardor I'll go.
I have heard of a world robed in glory,
And freed from temptation and care,
Where sickness and death may not enter,
And I long, O, I long to be there.
3 Ambition may spread her bright phantoms,
And whisper of honor and fame,
She may lure on her thousands to labor,
To win an illustrious name;
Be this my ambition, to follow
The path my Redeemer has trod,
Be an heir of his heavenly kingdom,
And dwell in the city of God.
4 Though the way of the wicked may prosper,
And be sprinkled with flowers so gay,
Though wide be the path that they travel,
And pleasant and easy the way,
Though no troubles their pathway encompass,
Triumphant through life though they go,
I'll envy them not, for their journey
Ends only in sorrow and woe.
5 Let me enter the gate that is narrow,
The way that with danger is spread,
And though rugged and dark be my pathway,
One bright ray is over it shed;
For I hear the sweet voice of my Saviour,
Saying, "Fear not, for I am thy God;
I know thy temptations and trials,
For I the rough pathway have trod."
6 Dear Saviour, thy promise is precious,
Thy guidance I evermore crave:
O help me to walk in thy footsteps,
And trust in thy power to save:
O give me a place in thy kingdom,
When life with its turmoil is o'er;
Let me dwell with the King in his beauty,
And I ask, O, I ask for no more. Tune Title: TELL ME OF HEAVEN
O tell me of heaven, sweet heaven
Beautiful valley of Eden

Sweet is thy noontide calm;
Over the hearts of the weary,
Breathing thy waves of balm.
Refrain:
Beautiful valley of Eden,
Home of the pure and blest,
How often amid the wild billows
I dream of thy rest, sweet rest!

Shineth the golden day,
Wafting the songs of the angels
Down from the far away. [Refrain]

There, with the blood-wash'd throng,
Over the highlands of glory
Rolleth the great new song. [Refrain] Scripture: Isaiah 51:3 Tune Title: BEAUTIFUL VALLEY OF EDEN

The sands of time are sinking
Author: Annie R. Cousin Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1349 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints 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 has been the midnight;
But dayspring is at hand:
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 I've wrestled on to'ard heaven,
'Gainst storm and wind and tide;
Now, like a weary trav'ler
That leaneth on his guide,
Amid the shades of evening,
While sinks life's ling'ring sand,
I hail the glory dawning,
From Immanuel's land,
I hail the glory dawning,
From Immanuel's land.
3 Deep waters crossed life's pathway,
The hedge of thorns was sharp;
Now these lie all behind me;
O for a well-tuned harp!
O for the "hallelujah,"
With yon triumphant band!
Who sing where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land,
Who sing where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land. Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-2 Tune Title: IMMANUEL'S LAND

We'll meet on those beautiful plains,
Where sorrow and death cannot enter,
Where friendship forevermore reigns;

Of songs that shall never grow old,
Whose heavenly harmonies blending,
Are robed in beauty untold. [Chorus]
4 But hark! there is something more precious
Than all of these pleasures so rare,
The hope of beholding my Saviour,
The promise of knowing him there
Who trod the rough, pathway before us
Those portals of bliss to unfold
Who suffered and died to restore us;
His love can never be told. [Chorus]

From the beauty of the hills,

When we struggle to be just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the plain that hides away,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away. [Chorus]

Till the mists have cleared away. [Chorus] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13 Tune Title: WE SHALL KNOW

2 O, that home of the soul! in my visions and dreams
Its bright, jasper walls I can see,
Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes
Between the fair city and me,
Between the fair city and me;
Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes
Between the fair city and me.

With sounds of sweetest melody,
As angels, with the ransomed throng,
Join in the sweet redemption song. [Chorus] Scripture: Isaiah 62:4 Tune Title: BEULAH LAND
