When we all get to Heaven

Author: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt (1851-1920) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #892 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come First Line: Sing the wondrous love of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Sing the wondrous love of Jesus, Sing his mercy and his grace; In the mansions bright and blessèd He’ll prepare for us a place. Refrain: When we all get to Heaven, What a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, We’ll sing and shout the victory! 2 While we walk this pilgrim pathway, Clouds may over-spread the sky; But when travelling days are over, Not a shadow, not a sigh. 3 Let us then be true and faithful, Trusting, serving every day; Just one glimpse of him in Glory Will the toils of life repay. 4 Onward to the prize before us, Soon his beauty we’ll behold; Soon the pearly gates will open, We shall tread the streets of gold.

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.

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #875 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment! Day of wonders! Hark the trumpet’s aweful sound. Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons Will the sinner’s heart confound! 2 See the judge, our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for his appearing Then shall say: This God is mine. Gracious Saviour, Own us in that day as thine. 3 Now the powers of nature, shaken At his look, prepare to flee; Souls in sin’s deep sleep must waken, Summoned now his wrath to see; Careless sinner, What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessed, Loved and served the Lord below, He will say: Come near, ye blessèd, See the Kingdom I bestow. You for ever Shall my love and glory know! Languages: English

Servant of God, well done

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #890 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master’s joy. 2 The heavenly summons came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame, He fell, but felt no fear. 3 His spirit, with a bound, Left its encumbering clay; His tent, at sunrise, on the ground A darkened ruin lay. 4 The pains of death are past, Labour and sorrow cease; And, life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. 5 Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour’s joy. Languages: English

Refrain: While the light from Heaven is falling, Sins reproving, wants revealing, While redeeming grace is flowing, He can wash your sins away. 2 All the past with its chances, All the ‘what might have been’, Each encounter with evil He had meant you should win; How you’ll wish you’d gone forward, Loving Jesus alone, When you stand in the light Of his great judgment throne! 3 Ransomed sinners of all kinds, Trembling followers as well, With their robes surely blood-washed, They shall come forth to tell Of the battles fought bravely, Of the victories won, As they stand in the light Of his great judgment throne.
