A Few More Years Shall Roll
Author: Rev. H. Bonar Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #332 (1929) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: The Future Life Mortality Lyrics: 1. A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest
Within their heav'nly home:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
2. A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.
3. 'Tis but a little while
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him may reign:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away! Languages: English Tune Title: TERRA BEATA
A Few More Years Shall Roll
When I Can Read My Title Clear
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #337 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Lyrics: 1. When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies,
I bid farewell to ev'ry fear,
And wipe my weeping eyes,...
And wipe my weeping eyes.
2. Should earth against my soul engage,
And hellish darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world,...
And face a frowning world.
3. Let cares like a wild deluge come,
And storms of sorrow fall;
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heav'n, my all,...
My God, my heav'n, my all.
4. There shall I bathe my weary soul
In seas of heav'nly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast,...
Across my peaceful breast. Languages: English Tune Title: MILES LANE

Gentle Shepherd, Thou Hast Stilled
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Jonann W. Meinhold Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #333 (1929) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: The Future Life Mortaility Lyrics: 1. Gentle Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Now Thy little lamb's brief weeping;
Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild,
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping,
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
2. In this world of sin and pain,
Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny, heav'nly plain
Thou dost now with joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light.
3. Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we
Where it lives may once be living;
And the lovely pastures see
That its heav'nly food are giving;
Then the gain of death we prove,
Tho' Thou take what most we love.

Gentle Shepherd, Thou Hast Stilled
How shall I know thee in the sphere which keeps
Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith #124 (1875) Topics: The Future LIfe
How shall I know thee in the sphere which keeps
If, On a Quiet Sea
Author: Rev, A. M. Toplady Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #335 (1929) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven First Line: If, on a quiet sea Lyrics: 1. If, on a quiet sea,
Tow'rd heav'n we calmly sail,
With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
We'll own the fav'ring gale;
With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee,
We'll own the fav'ring gale.
2. But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to come,
Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home;
Blest be the tempest, kind the storm,
Which drives us nearer home.
3. Soon shall our doubts and fears
All yield to Thy control;
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul;
Thy tender mercies shall illume
The midnight of the soul.
4. Teach us, in ev'ry state,
To make Thy will our own;
And when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone;
And when the joys of sense depart,
To live by faith alone.

If, On a Quiet Sea
There Is a Land of Pure Delight
Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #340 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Lyrics: 1. There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleausres banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-with'ring flow'rs:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav'nly land from ours.
2. Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
But tim'rous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea,
And linger, shiv'ring, on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3. Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes!--
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Nor Jordan's stream nor death's cold flood
Should fright us from the shore.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: VARINA

In sparkling raiment bright,

Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.

Fills all the earth and sky!

And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand-fold repaid! [Refrain]

Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy pow'r and reign:
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Savior, come. [Refrain]

While mercy's gate is open;
Accept the cross and win the crown,
Love's everlasting token. [Refrain]

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 hat been the midnight,
But day-spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
2. The King there in His beauty
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well-spent journey
Tho' seven deaths lay between:
The lamb with his fair army
Doth on Mount Zion stand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
3. 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 fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
4. 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 Emmanuel's land. Languages: English Tune Title: RUTHERFORD

With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.
I know not, O I know not
What joys await us there;
What radiancy of glory!
What bliss beyond compare!
2. They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3. There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they, who with their Leader
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4. O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
