There shines a land so fair;
More glorious than the orbs of light,
I’d fain be resting there.

There is a home of joy and light,
A land of perfect day.

Our waiting hearts expect
To dwell in that eternal home,
The home of God’s elect. [Refrain]

While years of time shall roll;
We’ll meet upon a happier shore,
The homeland of the soul. [Refrain]

He will not tarry long;
Soon, soon our happy hearts shall sing,
The glad triumphant song. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Beyond the silent stars of night]

There is Rapture To-night

Where the river of life floweth free;
And a touch of the joy that is ringing up there,
Falleth softly on you and on me.
Refrain:
There is joy in the presence of angels tonight,
There is rapture to mortals untold;
For the Father and Shepherd in heaven rejoice,
Over one who returns to the fold.
2 We can fancy we hear the sweet anthem of joy,
That the angels are singing tonight;
For we know that the low-lands of earth have a place,
In the thoughts of the dwellers in light. [Refrain]
3 They must watch us with pitying love in their eyes,
As in sin and in sorrow we stray;
For we know there is rapturous joy in the skies,
When a lost one returns to the Way. [Refrain]
4 For the Master hath lifted the veil from our eyes,
And our faith-strengthen’d vision discerns
How the heavenly city is thrilling with joy,
Over one who repents and returns. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There is rapture tonight in yon city so fair]
There is Rapture To-night

Only a River Between Us
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #24 (1904) Topics: Heaven and Homeland Lyrics: 1 Only a river between us,
Parting dear ones awhile;
Only a vail that divides us,—
Hiding the light of their smile;
Only a sigh and a struggle,
Only a moment of pain;
Then, mid the splendors of Eden,
We shall behold them again.
2 Only a place that is vacant,
When to our Saviour we bend;
Only a strain that is missing,
When our devotions we blend;
Only a voice, and a footstep,
Only a clasp of the hand,
Drawing us onward and upward,
Home to the bright promised land.
3 Tho’ ‘neath the clods of the valley,
Forms that we cherish may sleep;
God has commissioned His angels,
Watch o’er our loved ones to keep.
Only the leaves of the vine-tree,
Wither and languish and die;
God hath transplanted its branches,
Garnered its fruits in the sky.
4 Only a moment of anguish,
When at the Jordan we part;
Only a silver cord broken,
Hushing each throb of the heart;
After the storm, ‘twill be sunshine,
After our labor, repose;
Then we shall meet where the morning,
Never, no never will close. Tune Title: [Only a river between us]
Only a River Between Us

In the fadeless Spring-time
Author: Mrs. Lydia Baxter Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal #33 (1904) Topics: Heaven and Homeland First Line: In the fadeless springtime, on the heav’nly shore Refrain First Line: By the gate they'll meet us Lyrics: 1 In the fadeless springtime, on the heav’nly shore,
Kindred spirits wait us, who have gone before;
There no flowers wither, and no pleasures cloy,
In that land of beauty, in that home of joy.
Refrain:
By the gate they’ll meet us,
‘Neath that golden sky,
Meet us at the portal—
Meet us by and by.
2 In the misty gloaming, death awaits us all;
Silent is his coming, sure the Master’s call;
And the angel-footsteps mark the upward way,
Till the twilight merges into heav’nly day. [Refrain]
3 Trusting in the Saviour, may we humbly wait
Till the holy angels ope the pearly gate;
And the loving Father, from His gracious throne,
Smiling bids us welcome to our heav’nly home. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In the fadeless springtime]
In the fadeless Spring-time
