the everliving God we see,
our God, the Lord of hosts!
2 In heav'n above, in heav'n above,
what glory deep and bright!
The splendor of the noonday sun
grows pale before its light.
The mighty sun that goes not down,
before whose face clouds never frown,
is God, the Lord of hosts!
3 In heav'n above, in heav'n above,
no tears of pain are shed,
for nothing there can 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 heav'n above, in heav'n above,
God has a joy prepared,
which mortal ear has never heard,
nor mortal vision shared,
which never entered mortal thought,
in mortal dreams was never sought,
O God, the Lord of hosts! Scripture: Revelation 21 Languages: English Tune Title: I HIMMELEN, I HIMMELEN

Jerusalem the Golden
Author: Bernard of Cluny; John M. Neale Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #814 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Death and Life to Come; Life to Come Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
descending from above,
the city of God's presence,
the vision of God's love -
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,
so bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
the daylight is serene;
the tree of life and healing
has leaves of richest green.
3 There is the throne of David,
and there, from pain released,
the shout of those who triumph,
the song of those who feast.
And all who with their leader
have conquered in the fight,
forever and forever
are robed in purest white.
4 How lovely is that city,
the home of God's elect!
How beautiful the country
that eager hearts expect!
O Christ, in mercy bring us
to that eternal shore
where Father, Son, and Spirit
are worshiped evermore. Scripture: Joshua 5:6 Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

How happy every child of grace
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #880 (1986) Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace
Who knows his sins forgiven!
This earth, he cries, is not my place,
I seek my place in Heaven,
A country far from mortal sight;
Yet, O by faith, I see
The land of rest, the saints’ delight,
The Heaven prepared for me!
2 A stranger in the world below,
I calmly sojourn here;
Nor can its happiness or woe
Provoke my hope or fear.
Its evils in a moment end,
Its joys as soon are past;
But O the bliss to which I tend
Eternally shall last!
3 To that Jerusalem above
With singing I repair;
While in the flesh, my hope and love,
My heart and soul, are there;
There my exalted Saviour stands,
My merciful high priest,
And still extends his wounded hands
To me, of saints the least.
4 Then let me joyfully remove
That fuller life to share;
I shall not lose my friends above,
But more enjoy them there.
There we in Jesus’ praise shall join,
His boundless love proclaim,
And sing the everlasting song
Of Moses and the Lamb.

Come, You Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #450 (1995) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Life to Come Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come,
raise the song of harvest-home;
all is safely gathered in,
ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, does provide
for our needs to be supplied;
come with all his people, come,
raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
fruit unto his praise to yield,
wheat and weeds together sown,
unto joy or sorrow grown;
first the blade, and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
and shall take his harvest-home;
he himself in that great day
all offense shall take away,
give his angels charge at last
in the fire the weeds to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in his storehouse evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come,
to your final harvest-home:
gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin,
there forever purified
in your presence to abide.
Come, with all your angels, come,
raise the glorious harvest-home! Scripture: Genesis 8:21-22 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR
Come, You Thankful People, Come

linger on the trembling chords;
let the "little while" between
in their golden light be seen;

lie beyond that "Till he come."

drink the wine and break the bread -
sweet memorials - till the Lord
call us round his heav'nly board;
some from earth, from glory some,
severed only "Till he come!" Scripture: John 16:16-19 Languages: English Tune Title: WELLS

Our God Eternal, Reigning
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #806 (1995) Topics: Death and Life to Come Lyrics: 1 Our God eternal, reigning,
creation's life sustaining,
our refuge and our home;
enthroned, in light surrounded,
when earth was yet unfounded,
the living God, to him we come.
2 We fade, a dream that passes,
like withered meadow grasses
when summer's sun has shone.
Before that face all-seeing
of God who gave us being,
we pass away and we are gone.
3 O God of mercy, hear us,
in steadfast love draw near us,
from age to age the same;
that we, be grace defended,
when earthly days are ended,
may live to praise a Savior's name. Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English Tune Title: INNSBRUCK
Our God Eternal, Reigning
