For O, we stand on Jordan's strand

Author: David Nelson Appears in 595 hymnals Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship First Line: My days are gliding swiftly by Lyrics: 1 My days are gliding swiftly by, And I, a pilgrim stranger, Would not detain them as they fly Those hours of toil and danger; Chorus: For O, we stand on Jordan's strand, And soon we'll all pass over; And just before, the shining shore We may almost discover. 2 We'll gird our loins, my brethren dear, Our distant home discerning; Our absent Lord has left us word, Let every lamp be burning. [Chorus] 3 Should coming days be cold and dark, We need not cease our singing; That perfect rest naught can molest, Where golden harps are ringing. [Chorus] 4 Let sorrow's rudest tempest blow, Each cord on earth to sever, Our King says, Come, and there's our home, Forever, O forever! [Chorus] Used With Tune: SHINING SHORE

We speak of the realms of the blest

Author: Elizabeth Mills Appears in 367 hymnals Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed, But what must is be to be there! We speak of its pathway of gold, Its walls decked with jewels so fare, Its wonders and pleasures untold, But what must it be to be there! 2 We speak of its freedom from sin, From sorrow, temptation and care, From trials without and within, But what must is be to be there! We speak of its service of love, Of the robes which the glorified wear, Of the church of the first-born above, But what must it be to be there! 3 Our mourning is all at an end, When, raised by the life-giving word, We see the new city descend, Adorned as a bride for her Lord: The city so holy and clean, No sorrow can breathe in the air; No gloom of affliction or sin, No shadow of evil is there. 4 Do Thou, midst temptation and woe, For heaven my spirit prepare; And shortly I also shall know And feel what it is to be there. Then o'er the bright fields we shall roam, In glory celestial and fair, With saints and with angels at home, And Jesus himself will be there. Used With Tune: CONTRAST

Out on an ocean all boundless we ride

Author: Anon. Appears in 254 hymnals Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Out on an ocean all boundless we ride, We're homeward bound, homeward bound. Tossed on the waves of a rough, restless tide, We're homeward bound, homeward bound. Far from the safe, quiet harbor we've rode, Seeking our Father's celestial abode, Promise of which on us each is bestowed, We're homeward bound, homeward bound. 2 Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars, We're homeward bound, homeward bound; Look! yonder lie the bright heavenly shores, We're homeward bound, homeward bound. Steady, O pilot! stand firm at the wheel; Steady, we soon shall outweather the gale; O, how we fly 'neath the loud-creaking sail! We're homeward bound, homeward bound. 3 Into the harbor of heaven now we glide, We're home at last, home at last; Softly we drift on its bright silver tide, We're home at last, home at last. Glory to God! all our dangers are o'er, We stand secure on the glorified shore; Glory to God! we shall shout evermore; We're home at last, home at last. Used With Tune: HOMEWARD BOUND

Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine, The joy and desire of my heart, For closer communion I pine, I long to reside where thou art; The pasture I languish to find, Where all who their Shepherd obey, Are fed, on thy bosom reclined, And screened from the heat of the day. 2 'Tis there, with the lambs of thy flock, There only, I covet to rest; To lie at the foot of the rock, Or rise to be hid in thy breast: 'Tis there I would always abide, And never a moment depart, Concealed in the cleft of thy side, Eternally held in thy heart.
