"Go over this Jordan"
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #563 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly 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 timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
These 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,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Languages: English Tune Title: VARINA

The New Jerusalem
Author: FBP Hymnal: Laudes Domini #564 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Jerusalem! my happy home! Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem! my happy home!
Name ever dear to me!
When shall my labors have an end,
In joy, and peace, in thee!
2 Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend,
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbaths have no end?
3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats! thro' 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 labors have an end,
When I thy joys shall see. Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

The New Jerusalem
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #565 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: O mother dear, Jerusalem Lyrics: 1 O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
2 O happy harbor of God's saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
3 No dimly cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun,
For God himself gives light.
4 Thy walls are made of precious stone,
Thy bulwarks diamond-square,
Thy gates are all of orient pearl
O God! if I were there! Languages: English Tune Title: RHINE

The better portion
Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: Laudes Domini #566 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place:
Sun and moon and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season, and you know
Happy entrance will be given,
All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: AMSTERDAM
The better portion
"The sea of glass"
Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #567 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Hark! the sound of holy voices Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices,
Chanting at the crystal sea,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Lord, to thee!
2 Multitudes, which none can number,
Like the stars in glory stand,
Clothed in white apparel, holding
Palms of victory in their hands.
3 They have come from tribulation,
And have washed their robes in blood,
Washed them in the blood of Jesus;
Tried they were and firm they stood.
4 Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented,
Sawn asunder, slain with sword,
They have conquered death and Satan
By the might of Christ the Lord.
5 Love and peace they taste for ever,
And all truth and knowledge see
In the Beatific Vision
Of the blessed Trinity.

The City
Author: S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: Laudes Domini #568 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Daily, daily sing the praises Lyrics: 1 Daily, daily sing the praises
Of the City God hath made;
In the beauteous fields of Eden
Its foundation-stones are laid,
2 In the midst of that dear City
Christ is reigning on his seat,
And the angels swing their censers
In a ring about his feet.
3 From the throne a river issues,
Clear as crystal, passing bright,
And it traverses the City
Like a sudden beam of light.
4 There the wind is sweetly fragrant
And is laden with the song
Of the seraphs, and the elders,
And the great redeemed throng.
5 Oh, I would my ears were open
Here to catch that happy strain!
Oh, I would my eyes some vision
Of that Eden could attain! Languages: English
The City
Not our Rest
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #569 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: This is not my place of resting Lyrics: 1 This is not my place of resting,
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward to it I am hasting
On to my eternal home.
2 In it all is light and glory;
O'er it shines a nightless day:
Every trace of sin's sad story,
All the curse, hath passed away.
3 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
By the streams of life along,
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song.
4 Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Never more are sad or weary,
Never, never sin again! Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER

When a few fleeting days shall be o'er. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: OLIM

Who are these in bright aray
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #571 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Who are these in bright array,
This innumerable throng
Round the altar, night and day
Hymning one triumphant song?
"Worthy is the Lamb, once slain,
Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches, to obtain,
New dominion every hour."
2 These through fiery trials trod;
These from great afflictions came;
Now, before the throne of God,
Sealed with his almighty name.
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed;
Them the Lamb, amid the throne,
Shall to living fountains lead:
Joy and gladness banish sighs
Perfect love dispel all fears
And for ever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tears. Languages: English

Beautiful songs the angels sing;
Beautiful rest all wanderings cease;
Beautiful home of perfect peace
There shall my eyes the Saviour see
Haste to his heavenly home with me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CORRIDOR HEIGHTS
