Where is the Friend?

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #150 (1903) Topics: Hope Longing for heaven First Line: Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth, My heart still pleadeth. 2 I know He's there in every force and power, Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower; I'm ever in my breath and sighs so burning, His love discerning. 3 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams, I'm near Him; But better far when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth; My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth. Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving. 5 Oh, where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing. What must the source be whence it comes, the Giver? Beauty forever. 6 Oh, light and peace, salvation's sparkling fountain, Shall I thy source behold from Zion's mountain? Who brings me to thy rills in rapture plying? A peaceful dying! 7 My soul, be strong! Hope, pray with self-denial! The heavenly Friend submits Himself to trial: So shalt thou find in Him, on Him depending, Mercy unending. 8 Soon, in the harbor, where no waves are breaking, Or like the weary dove her refuge taking, Thou, timorous lamb, shalt by thy Shepherd's favor Find rest for ever.

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #151 (1903) Topics: Hope Longing for heaven Lyrics: 1 I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night; Do not detain me, for I am going To where the fountains are ever flowing: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 2 There the glory is ever shining; Oh, my longing heart, my longing heart is there; Here in this country so dark and dreary: I long have wandered, forlorn and weary: I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 3 Of the city to which I'm going My Redeemer, my Redeemer is the light; There is no sorrow, nor any sighing, Nor any sinning, nor any dying: Of the city to which I'm going My Redeemer, my Redeemer is the light.

Leader of faithful souls, and Guide

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #561 (1917) Topics: Longing For Heaven Lyrics: 1 Leader of faithful souls, and Guide Of all who travel to the sky, Come, and with us, even us, abide, Who would on Thee alone rely; On Thee alone our spirits stay, While held in life's uneven way. 2 Strangers and pilgrims here below, This earth, we know is not our place; But hasten through the vale of woe, And, restless to behold Thy face, Swift to our heavenly country move, Our everlasting home above. 3 We've no abiding city here, But seek a city out of sight; Thither our steady course we steer, Aspiring to the plains of light, Jerusalem, the saints' abode, Whose founder is the living God. 4 Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne, Freely and graciously forgiven, With songs to Zion we return, Contending for our native heaven, That palace of our glorious King, We find it nearer while we sing. 5 Raised by the breath of love divine, We urge our way with strength renewed; The church of the first-born to join, We travel to the mount of God; With joy upon our heads arise, And meet our Captain in the skies.

O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! 2 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown; But He whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known; And they that know and see Him Shall have Him for their own. 3 The morning shall awaken, The shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day. There God, our King and portion, In fulness of His grace, Shall we behold for ever, And worship face to face. 4 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Languages: English Tune Title: CHENIES

"For ever with the Lord!"

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #562 (1917) Topics: Heaven Longing for Lyrics: 1 "For ever with the Lord!" Amen! so let it be! Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality! Here is 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 unclouded 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 Even here to 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!" Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER HOME
