Some Day
Author: Charles A. Tindley Hymnal: Zion still Sings #139 (2007) Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.8.9.6 with refrain Topics: Eternal Life, Everlasting Life, and Heaven First Line: Beams of heaven, as I go Refrain First Line: I do not know how long 'twill be Lyrics: 1 Beams of heaven, as I go,
through this wilderness below,
guide my feet in peaceful ways,
turn my midnights into days;
when in the darkness I would grope,
faith always sees a star of hope,
and soon from all life's grief and danger,
I shall be free some day.
Refrain:
I do not know how long 'twill be,
nor what the future holds for me,
but this I know, if Jesus leads me,
I shall get home some day.
2 Oftentimes my sky is clear,
joy abounds without a tear,
though a day so bright begun,
clouds may hide tomorrow's sun.
There'll be a day that's always bright,
a day that never yields to night,
and in its light the streets of glory
I shall behold some day. [Refrain]
3 Harder yet may be the fight,
right may often yield to might,
wickedness awhile may reign,
Satan's cause may seem to gain;
there is a God that rules above,
with hand of pow'r and heart of love,
if I am right, he'll fight my battle,
I shall have peace some day.
4 Burdens now may crush me down,
disappointments all around,
troubles speak in mournful sigh,
sorrow through a tear-stained eye;
there is a world where pleasure reigns,
no mourning soul shall roam its plains,
and to that land of peace and glory
I want to go some day. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SOMEDAY

Where God our Father dwells,
How boundless there the blessedness!
No tongue its greatness tells;
There face to face, and full and free,
Ever and evermore we see--
We see the Lord of hosts!
2 In heaven above, in heaven above,
What glory deep and bright!
The splendor of the noonday sun
Grows pale before its light;
That mighty Sun that ne'er goes down,
Before whose face clouds never frown,
Is God the Lord of hosts.
3 In heaven above, in heaven above,
No tears of pain are shed;
For nothing e'er shall fade or die;
Life’s fullness round is spread,
And, like an ocean, joy o’erflows,
And with immortal mercy glows
Our God the Lord of hosts.
4 In heaven above, in heaven above,
God hath a joy prepared,
Which mortal ear hath never heard,
Nor mortal vision shared,
Which never entered mortal breast,
By mortal lips was ne'er expressed,
'Tis God, the Lord of Hosts! Languages: English Tune Title: LAURINUS

In heaven above, in heaven above
Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius, 348 - 413; Edward Traill Horn III, b. 1909 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #297 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow,
From God's own assurances borrow
The promise that Jesus has given:
That life has in death its beginning.
2 As seed in the springtime is planted,
And rests in the earth until granted
God's blessing of warmth and of showers,
And blossoms in leaflets and flowers;
3 So we, amid sorrow and weeping,
Committed, O earth, to thy keeping,
Shall, given new life and perfection,
Come forth in the great resurrection. A-men.
4 O Lord, at thy coming in glory,
When all shall bow down and adore thee,
Then forth from the tomb's open portal,
O lead us to mansions immortal.
Amen.

Despair not, O heart, in thy sorrow
We know not a voice of that river
Author: Christina G. Rossetti Hymnal: The Hymnal #432 (1950) Meter: 9.8.10.5 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 We know not a voice of that river,
If vocal or silent it be,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows to no sea.
2 More deep than the seas is that river,
More full than their manifold tides,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and abides.
3 O goodly the banks of that river,
O goodly the fruits that they bear,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and is fair.
4 For lo! on each bank of that river,
The tree that is life-giving grows,
Where forever and ever and ever
The pure river flows.
Amen. Scripture: Revelation 22:1 Tune Title: ACHNASHEEN

O mother dear, Jerusalem
Author: "F. B. P.," 16th century Hymnal: The Hymnal #436 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Life Everlasting 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 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green,
They grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
Right through the streets, with silver sound,
The living waters flow,
And on the banks, on either side,
The trees of life do grow.
3 Those trees forevermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
Then 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. Tune Title: MATERNA
O mother dear, Jerusalem
Now the laborer's task is o'er
Author: Rev. John Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal #440 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Now the laborer's task is o'er;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
2 There the tears of earth are dried;
There its hidden things are clear;
There the work of life is tried
By a juster Judge than here.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
3 "Earth to earth, and dust to dust";
Calmly now the words we say;
Left behind, we wait in trust,
For the resurrection-day.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
Amen. Tune Title: REQUIESCAT
Now the laborer's task is o'er
Jesus, still lead on

Till our rest is won;
And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by thy hand
To our fatherland.
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a foe
To our home we go. A-men.
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, still lead on,
Till our rest be won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console, protect us,
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: SEELENBRAUTIGAM

Mine eyes their vigils keep;
For very love, beholding
Thy happy name, they weep;
2 The mention of thy glory
Is unction to the breast,
And medicine in sickness,
And love, and life, and rest.
3 O one, O only mansion,
O Paradise of joy!
Where tears are ever banished,
And smiles have no alloy;
4 The Cross is all thy splendor,
The Crucified thy praise;
His laud and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise. A-men.
5 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean;
Thou hast no time, bright day;
Dear fountain of refreshment
To pilgrims far away!
6 Upon the Rock of Ages
They raise thy holy tower;
Thine is the victor's laurel,
And thine the golden dower.
7 O sweet and blessèd country,
The home of God's elect;
O sweet and blessèd country,
That eager hearts expect!
8 Jesus, in mercy bring us,
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen.
