Beautiful Valley of Eden
Author: Rev. W. O. Cushing Hymnal: Christ in Song #850 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Lyrics: 1. Beautiful valley of Eden,
Sweet is thy noon-tide calm;
Over the hearts of the weary,
Breathing thy waves of balm. [Chorus]

Shineth the golden day,
Wafting the songs of the angels
Down from the far away. [Chorus]
3. There is the home of my Saviour
There with the blood-washed throng;
Over the highland of glory
Rolleth the great new song. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Beautiful valley of Eden]

Some sweet day, by and by;

Some sweet day, by and by;

Left our hearts and homes so drear,
We shall see more bright and clear,
Some sweet day, by and by. [Refrain]
3. Oh, these parting scenes will end,
Some sweet day, by and by;
We shall gather friend with friend,
Some sweet day, by and by;
There before our Father's throne,
When the mists and clouds have flown,
We shall know as we are known,
Some sweet day, by and by. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We shall reach the summer land]

Ere we reach our journey's end;
Yet a little while of labor,
Ere the ev'ning shades descend;
Then we'll lay us down to slumber,
But the night will soon be o'er;
In the bright, the bright forever,
We shall wake, to weep no more. [Chorus]
3. O the bliss of life eternal!
O the long unbroken rest!
In the golden fields of pleasure,
In the region of the blest;
But, to see our dear Redeemer,
And before his throne to fall,
There to hear his gracious welcome,
Will be sweeter far than all. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Breaking thro' the clouds that gather]

Within the paradise of God. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is a land mine eye hath seen]

Ten Thousand Times
Author: Rev. H. Alford Hymnal: Christ in Song #917 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Meeting in Heaven First Line: Ten thousand times ten thousand Lyrics: 1. Ten thousand times ten thousand,
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light.

Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.

Fills all the earth and sky!
The ringing of a thousand harps
Proclaims the triumph high.
O day for which creation
And all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand-fold repaid!
3. O then what raptured, greetings
On Canaan's happy shore!
What knitting severed friendship where
Death partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late:
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4. Bring near Thy great salvation,
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 Saviour, come! Languages: English Tune Title: ALFORD

On the Mountain Top

Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing
Zion long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive! Mourning captive!
God himself shall loose thy hands.
2. Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful,
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning; Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well belov'd.
3. God, thy God will now restore thee;
He himself appears thy friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end:
Great deliver'ance, Great deliv'rance
Zion's king will surely send.

Dawn
Hymnal: Christ in Song #935 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: O'er the distant mountain breaking Lyrics: 1. O'er the distant mountain breaking,

Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking,
Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray;
'Tis the Saviour 'Tis the Saviour
On his bright returning way.

Waits my anxious soul for thee;
Life is dark, and earth is dreary
Where thy light I do not see:
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
When wilt thou return to me?

Far away from thee I pine;
When, O when shall I the gladness
Of thy Spirit feel in mine?
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
When shall I be wholly thine?
4. Nearer is my soul's salvation,
Spent the night, the day at hand;
Keep me in my lowly station,
Watching for thee, till I stand,
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
In thy bright and promised land.
5. With my lamp well-trimm'd and burning,
Swift to hear, and slow to roam,
Watching for thy glad returning
To restore me to my home;
Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour,
O my Saviour, quickly come! Languages: English
