How happy every child of grace
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #556 (1917) Topics: Heaven Longing for; Longing For Heaven Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace,
Who knows his sins forgiven!
This earth, he cries, is not my place,
I seek my place in heaven:
A country far from mortal sight
Yet, O by faith I see
The land of rest, the saints' delight,
The heaven prepared for me.
2 A stranger in the world below,
I calmly sojourn here;
Nor can its happiness or woe
Provoke my hope or fear.
Its evils in a moment end,
Its joys as soon are past;
But, O the bliss to which I tend
Eternally shall last!
3 To that Jerusalem above
With singing I repair;
While in the flesh, my hope and love,
My heart and soul, are there:
There my exalted Saviour stands,
My merciful High Priest,
And still extends His wounded hands
To take me to His breast. Languages: English Tune Title: SPES CELESTIS
How happy every child of grace
Come, let us join our friends above
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #555 (1917) Topics: Heaven Longing for; Longing For Heaven Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above
Who have obtained the prize,
And on the eagle wings of love
To joys celestial rise.
Let all the saints terrestrial sing,
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants of our King,
In earth and heaven, are one.
2 One family we dwell in Him,
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death:
One army of the living God,
To His command we bow;
Part of His host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.
3 Even now by faith we join our hands
With those who went before;
And greet the blood-besprinkled bands
On the eternal shore.
Our spirits too shall quickly join,
Like theirs with glory crowned,
And shout to see our Captain's sign,
To hear His trumpet sound.

Jerusalem, my happy home
Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #558 (1917) Topics: Heaven Longing for; Longing For Heaven Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labours have an end,
In joy, and peace, and Thee?
2 When shall these eyes Thy heaven-built walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats, through rude and stormy scenes
I onward press to you.
4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there
Around my Saviour stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.
6 Jerusalem, my happy home,
My soul still pants for Thee!
Then shall my labours have an end,
When I Thy joys shall see.

To languish for his native air
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #477 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Longing for Heaven Lyrics: 1 To languish for his native air
Can the poor, wandering exile cease?
The tir'd his wish of rest forbear?
The tortur'd help desiring ease?
The slave no more for freedom sigh
Or I no longer pine to die?
2 As shipwreck'd mariners desire,
With eager grasp, to reach the shore
As hirelings long t'obtain their hire,
And veterans wish their warfare o'er;
I languish from this earth to flee,
And gasp for--immortality.
3 To heaven I left my mournful eyes,
And all within me groans, "how long?"
O were I landed in the skies!
The bitter loss, the cruel wrong,
Should there no more my soul molest,
Or break my everlasting rest.
4 O could I break this carnal fence,
Drop all my sorrows in the tomb,
On angel's wings remove from hence,
And fly this happy moment home,
Quit the dark house of mouldering clay,
And launch into eternal day! Scripture: Isaiah 51:14
To languish for his native air
Home! home! sweet, sweet home
