Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #975 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day
We lift our hands to God and pray;
But who has ever duly weighed
The meaning of the words he said?
2 Thy kingdom come. O day of joy,
When praise shall every tongue employ;
When hate and strife and war shall cease,
And man with man shall be at peace.
3 Jesus shall reign on Zion's hill,
And all the earth with glory fill;
His word shall Paradise restore,
And sin and death afflict no more.
4 God's holy will shall then be done
By all who live beneath the sun;
For saints shall then as angels be,
All changed to immortality. Tune Title: ANVERN
Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day
O what hath Jesus bought for me!
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #984 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 O what hath Jesus bought for me!
Before my ravished eyes
Life's river all divine I see,
And trees of paradise.
2 I see immortal saints in light,
Who taste the pleasure there;
They all are robed in spotless white,
And conquering palms they bear.
3 O what are all my sufferings here,
If, Lord, thou count me meet
With that enraptured host to appear,
And worship at thy feet?
4 Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away;
But let me find them all again
In that eventful day! Tune Title: ST. PETER
O what hath Jesus bought for me!
There is a city, fair and bright
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #993 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a city, fair and bright,
That eye hath never seen,
Where ever dwelleth pure delight,
And heavenly praise serene.
High walls of precious gems and gold
Secure from every ill;
Unheard-of-bliss and joys untold
Within its borders dwell.
2 There living waters ceaseless flow
From out the heavenly throne;
There fairest fruits perennial grow,
And want is never known.
Nor sun by day nor moon by night
This heavenly city needs,
But glory sheds a crystal light
That never wanes nor fades.
3 Nor sin nor sorrow cometh there,
Nor ever death nor pain,
In love abiding, free from care,
The saints forever reign.
Among the many mansions there,
O, is there one for me?
Dear Lord, an humble place prepare,
That I may dwell with thee. Tune Title: OAKLEY
There is a city, fair and bright
Lo, what a glorious sight appears
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #982 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Lo, what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.
2 From the third heaven, where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The New Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
3 Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing;
Ye saints, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King!
4 The God of glory down to men
Removes his blest abode;
Men are the objects of his love,
And he their gracious God.
5 His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye;
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself, shall die.
6 How bright the vision! O, how long
Shall this glad hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day! Tune Title: ST. PETER
Lo, what a glorious sight appears
Zion, the city of our God
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #983 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Zion, the city of our God,
How glorious is the place!
The Saviour there has his abode,
And saints will see his face.
2 There all the fruits of glory grow,
And joys that never die;
And streams of grace and knowledge flow
The soul to satisfy.
3 Come, set your faces Zionward,
The sacred road inquire,
And let the city of the Lord
Be henceforth your desire.
4 The gospel shines to give you light;
No longer, then, delay;
The Spirit waits to guide you right,
And Jesus is the way.
5 O Lord, regard thy people's prayer,
Thy promise now fulfill,
And young and old by grace prepare
To dwell on Zion's hill. Tune Title: ST. PETER
Zion, the city of our God
There is a land of pure delight
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #989 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign,
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides
And never-withering flowers,
And but a little space divides
This heavenly land from ours.
2 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love,
With unbeclouded eyes;
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not all this world's pretended good
Could ever charm us more. Tune Title: VARINA
There is a land of pure delight
On the high cliffs of Jordan with pleasure I stand
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1006 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 On the high cliffs of Jordan with pleasure I stand,
And view in perspective the fair promised land,
The land where the ransomed with singing shall come,
And enter the kingdom prepared as their home.
2 'Tis there all the nations redeemed by the Lamb,
In circles most lovely, his praises proclaim;
Through tempests, and sorrows, and perils, they come,
To enter those mansions prepared as their home.
3 All over those peaceful and beautiful plains,
The Lord, our Redeemer, in righteousness reigns;
His scepter of empire he now doth assume,
And kindly doth welcome his followers home.
4 How blest are those regions, the realms of repose,
Through which the fair river of life gently flows!
The regions ambrosial, forever in bloom;
God's own habitation, the saints' happy home!
Tune Title: FREDERICK
On the high cliffs of Jordan with pleasure I stand
O that beautiful home!
Author: Daniel T. Taylor Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1009 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints First Line: We are going home: we've had visions bright Lyrics: 1 We are going home: we've had visions bright
Of that holy land, that world of light,
Where the long, dark night of time is past,
And the morn of eternity come at last.
There the weary saints no more shall roam,
But dwell in a sunny, peaceful home,
Where the brow with celestial gems is crowned,
And mansions fair with praise resound.
Refrain:
O that beautiful home!
O that beautiful home!
2 We are going home: we soon shall be
Where the skies are clear, and the soil is free;
Where the victor's song floats o'er the plains,
And the seraph's anthem blends with its strains;
Where the sun rolls down a brilliant flood
Of beams on a world that's fair and good,
And the stars that dimmed at nature's doom
Will sparkle and shine o'er the new earth's bloom; [Refrain]
3 Where the tears and sighs which here are given,
Are exchanged for the gladsome songs of heaven;
And the beauteous forms that sing and shine
Are guarded well by a hand divine.
Love's banner pure and friendship's wand
Are waving above that princely band;
And the glory of God, like a molten sea,
Bathes the immortal company. [Refrain]
4 'Mid the ransomed throng, 'mid the sea of bliss,
'Mid the holy city's gorgeousness,
'Mid the verdant plains, 'mid the angel's cheer,
'Mid the flowers that never of winter hear,
Where the conqueror's song, that sounds afar,
Is wafted on the balmy air,
'Mid the endless years, we then shall prove
The matchless depths of a Saviour's love. [Refrain]

Then away from my sorrow and care
Let me fly to the land of the blest,

Over there, over there,
My Saviour is now over there

For the end of my journey I see;
And to bear me from earth over there
The angels are coming for me,

Over there, over there, over there,
I'll soon be at home over there. Scripture: Psalm 55:6 Tune Title: THE HOME OVER THERE
Over there, over there
Nearer home, nearer home
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1358 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints First Line: "Forever with the Lord!" Lyrics: 1 "Forever with the Lord!"
Amen, so let it be;
Life for the dead is in that word:
'Tis immortality.
Here in this body pent,
Absent from him I roam;
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
Chorus:
Nearer home, nearer home,
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith's aspiring eye,
Thy gold gates appear!
Ah, then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love;
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above. [Chorus]
3 And when the morn shall come
That ends earth's night of pain,
Thro' grace I shall escape the tomb,
And life eternal gain;
Then knowing "as I'm known,"
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"Forever with the Lord!" [Chorus]
4 "Forever with the Lord!"
Father, if 'tis thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
E'en now to me fulfill.
Be thou at my right hand,
Then I can never fail;
Uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
And in thy strength prevail. [Chorus] Scripture: Philippians 1:23 Tune Title: FOREVER WITH THE LORD
Nearer home, nearer home
