How happy every child of grace
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #880 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace
Who knows his sins forgiven!
This earth, he cries, is not my place,
I seek my place in Heaven,
A country far from mortal sight;
Yet, O by faith, I see
The land of rest, the saints’ delight,
The Heaven prepared for me!
2 A stranger in the world below,
I calmly sojourn here;
Nor can its happiness or woe
Provoke my hope or fear.
Its evils in a moment end,
Its joys as soon are past;
But O the bliss to which I tend
Eternally shall last!
3 To that Jerusalem above
With singing I repair;
While in the flesh, my hope and love,
My heart and soul, are there;
There my exalted Saviour stands,
My merciful high priest,
And still extends his wounded hands
To me, of saints the least.
4 Then let me joyfully remove
That fuller life to share;
I shall not lose my friends above,
But more enjoy them there.
There we in Jesus’ praise shall join,
His boundless love proclaim,
And sing the everlasting song
Of Moses and the Lamb.

How happy every child of grace
The homeland! the homeland
Author: Hugh Reginald Haweis (1838-1901) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #895 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 The homeland! the homeland!
The land of the free-born;
There’s no night in the homeland,
But aye the fadeless morn;
I’m sighing for the homeland,
My heart is aching here;
There’s no pain in the homeland
To which I’m drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the homeland
With angels bright and fair;
There’s no sin in the homeland,
And no temptation there;
The voices of the homeland
Are ringing in my ears,
And when I think of the homeland
My eyes are filled with tears.
3 For those I love in the homeland
Are calling me away
To the rest and peace of the homeland,
And the life beyond decay;
For there’s no death in the homeland,
There is no grief above;
Christ brings us all to the homeland
Of his eternal love.

The homeland! the homeland

Numberless as the sands of the shore!
O what a sight ‘twill be
When the ransomed host we see,
As numberless as the sands of the seashore!

Who from sorrow and trials are free,
Meeting there with a heavenly greeting,
What a wonderful sight that will be!
3 When we stand by the beautiful river,
‘Neath the shade of the life-giving tree,
Gazing over the fair land of promise,
What a wonderful sight that will be!
4 When at last we behold our redeemer,
And his glory unclouded we see,
While as King of all kingdoms he reigneth,
What a wonderful sight that will be!

There is a happy land
Author: Andrew Young (1807-89) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #897 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day.
O how they sweetly sing:
Worthy is our Saviour-King!
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye.
2 Come to this happy land,
Come, come away;
Why will you doubting stand,
Why still delay?
O we shall happy be
When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord, we shall live with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.
3 Bright in that happy land
Beams every eye;
Kept by a Father’s hand,
Love cannot die.
On, then, to glory run;
Be a crown and kingdom won,
And bright above the sun
Reign, reign for aye.

For ever with the Lord
Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #877 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 For ever with the Lord!
Amen; so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
‘Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day’s march nearer home.
2 My Father’s house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times, to faith’s foreseeing eye,
Thy golden gates appear.
Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints.
Jerusalem above.
3 For ever with the Lord!
Father, if ‘tis thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E’en herein me fulfil.
Be thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
Fight, and I must prevail.
4 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne:
For ever with the Lord!

For those we love within the veil
Author: William Charter Pigott (1872-1943) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #878 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 For those we love within the veil,
Who once were comrades of our way,
We thank thee, Lord; for they have won
To cloudless day.
2 And life for them is life indeed,
The splendid goal of earth’s strait race;
And where no shadows intervene
They see thy face.
3 Free from the fret of mortal years,
And knowing now thy perfect will,
With quickened sense and heightened joy
They serve thee still.
4 O fuller, sweeter is that life,
And larger, ampler is the air;
Eye cannot see nor heart conceive
The glory there!
5 There are no tears within their eyes;
With love they keep perpetual tryst;
And praise and work and rest are one
With thee, O Christ.

Oft when I’m sad and temptations arise,
I look to my home far away.

My home is in Heaven, there is no parting there,
All will be happy, glorious, bright and fair;
There’ll be no sorrow, there will be no rears,
In that bright home Jar away.

And landed safe on that beautiful shore;
I shall see Jesus, that will be my joy
In that bright home far away.

Jesus has died that we all may be free;
Come then to him who has laid up for you
A crown in that home far away.

Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
If you wish to go to Heaven
When the sun, when the sun goes down.

For your time is swiftly flying,
In the grave you’ll soon be lying
When the sun goes down!
Refrain:
Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
Ere the sun, ere the sun goes down,
O sinner, come to Jesus
Ere the sun goes down!
2 Every chance will soon be past,
When the sun, when the sun goes down;
Even this may be the last,
When the sun, when the sun goes down.
If this offer be rejected,
And salvation still neglected,
Death may come when least expected,
When the sun goes down.
