Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #885 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian's Farewell Lyrics: 1 Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell, With all your feeble light; Farewell, thou ever-changing moon, Pale empress of the night. 2 And thou, refulgent orb of day, In brighter flames arrayed, My soul, that springs beyond thy sphere, No more demands thy aid. 3 Ye stars are but the shining dust Of my divine abode, The pavement of those heavenly courts Where I shall see my God. 4 The Father of eternal light Will there his beams display; Nor shall one moment's darkness blend With that unvaried day. Scripture: Isaiah 60

Death and Heaven: The spirit's farewell to the body after long sickness

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CLXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Farewell To this body; Farewell To this body First Line: How am I held a pris'ner now Lyrics: Part I 1 How am I held a pris'ner now, Far from my God! this mortal chain Binds me to sorrow: all below Is short-liv'd ease, or tiresome pain. 2 When shall that wond'rous hour appear, Which frees me from this dark abode, To live at large in regions where Nor cloud nor vail shall hide my God? 3 Farewell this flesh, these ears, these eyes, These snares and fetters of the mind; My God! nor let this frame arise, Till ev'ry dust be will refin'd. 4 Blest Jesus! make my nature whole, Mould me a body like thy own, Then shall it better serve my soul, In works of praise and worlds unknown. Part II 5 Absent from flesh! O blissful thought! What unknown joys this moment brings! Freed from the mischief sin hath wrought, From pains and tears and all their springs. 6 Absent from flesh! illustrious day! Surprising scene! triumphant stroe! That rends the prison of my clay, And I can feel my fetters broke. 7 Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul! Where feet or wings could never climb, Beyond the heav'ns where planets roll, Measuring the cares and joys of time. 8 I go where God and glory shine; His presence makes eternal day: My all that's mortal I resign, For Jesus waits and points the way Part III 9 And is this heav'n? and am I there? How short the road, how swift the fligt! I am all life, all eye, all ear; Jesus is here--my soul's delight. 10 Is this the heav'nly friend who hung In blood and anguish on the tree, Whom Paul proclaim'd, whom David sung, Who dy'd for them, who dy'd for me? 11 Lo! he presents me at the throne All spotless; there the Godhead reigns Sublime and peaceful through the Son: Awake, my voice in heav'nly strains. 12 How fair thou blest, eternal word! Full Godhead shines through all thy face! Thy death procur'd this blest abode, Thy vital beams adorn the place! Part IV 13 Creator God, eternal light, Fountain of good, tremendous pow'r, Ocean of wonders, blissful sight, Beauty and love unknown before! 14 Thy grace, thy nature, all unknown In yon dark region whence I came, Where languid glimpses from thy throne, And feeble whispers taught thy name. 15 I'm in a world where all is new; Myself, my God, O blest amaze! Not my best hopes or wishes knew To form a shadow of this grace. 16 Fix'd on my God my heart adore, My restless thoughts forbear to rove, Ye meaner passions stir no more, But all my pow'rs be joy and love.

Kindred, and friends, and native land

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #551 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Missionaries' farewell Lyrics: 1 Kindred, and friends, and native land, How shall we say farewell? How, when our swelling sails expand, How will our bosoms swell! 2 Yes, nature, all thy soft delights, And tender ties we know; But love, more strong than death, unites To Him that bids us go. 3 Thus, when our ev'ry passion mov'd, The gushing tear-drop starts; The cause of Jesus more belov'd, Shall glow within our hearts. 4 The sighs we breathe for precious souls, Where He is yet unknown, Might waft us to the distant poles, Or to the burning zone. 5 With the warm wish our bosoms swell, Our glowing pow'rs expand; Farewell--then we can say,--Farewell, Our friends, our native land!

Home, kindred, friends, and country, these

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #254 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Farewell to a missionary Lyrics: Home, kindred, friends, and country, these Are things with which we never part; From clime to clime, o'er land and seas, We bear them with us in our heart: And yet 'tis hard to feel resign'd, When these, all these, are left behind. 258 But when the pilgrim's staff we take, And follow Christ from shore to shore, Gladly for Him we all forsake, Press on, and only look before: Though humbled Nature mourns her loss, The spirit glories in the Cross. It is no sin, like man, to weep, Even Jesus wept o'er Lazarus, dead; Or yearn for home beyond the deep, He had not where to lay His head: The patriot's tears will He condemn, Who wept o'er lost Jerusalem? Take up your cross, and say "Farewell!" Go forth without the camp to Him, Who left heaven's throne with men to dwell, Who died His murderers to redeem: Oh! tell His name in every ear; Doubt not,--the dead themselves will hear; Hear, and come forth to life anew. Then, while the Gentile courts they fill, Shall not your Saviour's words stand true? Home, kindred, friends, and country still, In earth's last desert you shall find, Yet lose not those you left behind. Languages: English

Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #291 (1917) Topics: Missionaries, farewell to ; Missionaries, farewell to Lyrics: 1 Speed Thy servants, Saviour, speed them, Thou art Lord of winds and waves; They were bound, but Thou hast freed them; Now they go to free the slaves: Be Thou with them! 'Tis Thine arm alone that saves. 2 Friends, and home, and all forsaking, Lord, they go at Thy command, As their stay Thy promise taking, While they traverse sea and land: O be with then! Lead them safely by the hand. 3 When they reach the land of strangers, And the prospect dark appears, Nothing seen but toils and dangers, Nothing felt but doubts and fears, Be Thou with them! Hear their sighs and count their tears. 4 Where no fruit appears to cheer them, And they seem to toil in vain, Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them, Then their sinking hopes sustain: Thus supported, Let their zeal revive again. 5 In the midst of opposition Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee; When success attends their mission, Let Thy servants humbler be: Never leave them: Till Thy face in heaven they see.
