The sands of time are sinking

Author: Annie Ross Cousin Hymnal: The Hymnal #434 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn, awakes; Dark, dark hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 2 O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment My web of time He wove, And aye the dews of sorrow Were lustered by His love. I'll bless the hand that guided, I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land. Amen. Tune Title: RUTHERFORD

Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th century; Rev. John M. Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #435a (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed. I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 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. Amen. Tune Title: EWING

I heard a sound of voices

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Hymnal #437 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To Him that sat thereon: "Salvation, glory, honor," I heard the song arise, As through the courts of heaven it rolled In wondrous harmonies. 2 From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of Him who died, and lives, Their one glad triumph song. 3 O Lamb of God Who reignest, Thou Bright and Morning Star, Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far; O worthy Judge Eternal, When Thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl, And call Thy servants home. Amen. Tune Title: PATMOS

Sunset and evening star

Author: Alfred Tennyson Hymnal: The Hymnal #438 (1950) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, 2 But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. 3 Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; 4 For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. Amen. Tune Title: CROSSING THE BAR

Jesus lives! no longer now

Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Christian Fürchtegott Gellert Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #512 (1917) Topics: The Life Everlasting Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives! no longer now Can Thy terrors, Death, appall us; Jesus lives! by this we know From the grave He will recall us. Brighter scenes will then commence; This shall be our confidence. 2 Jesus lives! to Him the throne High o'er heaven and earth is given; I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven, God is pledged; weak doubtings hence! This shall be our confidence. 3 Jesus lives! we know full well, Naught from us His love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, Part us now from Christ for ever. God will be a sure defence; This shall be our confidence. 4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life Immortal; This shall calm our trembling breath When I pass its gloomy portal; Faith shall cry, as fails each sense: "Lord, Thou art our confidence!" Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Amen! so let it be; Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him, I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near At times to faith's far-seeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 For ever with the Lord! Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand, Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death To life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!" Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MORNINGTON

O Mother dear, Jerusalem!

Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #525 (1917) Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Lyrics: 1 O Mother dear, Jerusalem! When shall I come to thee? When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? O happy harbor of the saints! O sweet and pleasant soil! In thee no sorrow may be found, No grief, no care, no toil. 2 No murky cloud o’ershadows thee, No cold nor darksome night; But every soul shines as the sun, For God Himself gives light. O my sweet home Jerusalem, Thy joys when shall I see? The King that sitteth on thy throne In His felicity? 3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks Continually are green, There grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen. Quite through the streets, with silver sound, The flood of life doth flow, Upon whose banks, on every side, The wood of life doth grow. 4 There trees forevermore bear fruit, And evermore do spring; There evermore the angels are, And evermore do sing. Jerusalem, my happy home, Would God I were in thee; Would God my woes were at an end, Thy joys that I might see! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA
