Forever With The Lord

Author: J. Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 631 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Hope First Line: "Forever with the Lord!" Lyrics: 1 "Forever with the Lord!" Amen! so let it be! Life and spirit from above. '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 foreseeing 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 "Forever 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, And 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!" Used With Tune: [Forever with the Lord]

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest; Death and Burial; Easter; Faith; Hope Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Savior, now is living! Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope here given Though the night of death be caught Still in many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my redeemer, lives; Likewise I to life shall waken. He will bring me where he is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear, or could the head Rise and leave his members dead? 3 No, I am too closely bound By my hope to Christ forever; Faith's strong hand the rock has found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Even death now cannot part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am flesh and must return To the dust, whence I am taken; But by faith I now discern That from death I will awaken With my Savior to abide In his glory, at his side. 5 Then these eyes my Lord will know, My redeemer and my brother; In his love my soul will glow-- I myself and not another! Then the weakness I feel here Will forever disappear. 6 Then take comfort and rejoice, For his members Christ will cherish. Fear not, they will hear his voice; Dying, they will never perish; For the very grave is stirred When the trumpet's blast is heard. 7 Oh, then, draw away your hearts From all pleasures base and hollow. Strive to share what he imparts While you here his footsteps follow. As you now still wait to rise, Fix your hearts beyond the skies.

Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes, prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Hallelujah! Bear thro' the night your well trimmed light. Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with deep delight is springing, At once she wakes, she hastes away: Forth her Bridegroom hastens glorious, In grace arrayed, by truth victorious; Her grief is joy, her night is day: All hail, incarnate Lord, Our crown, and our reward! Hallelujah! We hast alone, in pomp of song, And gladsome join the marriage throng. 3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending From tongues of men and angels, blending With harp and lute and psaltery. By Thy pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, In bursts of choral melody: No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught, Such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along.
