A Few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Rev. H. Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 382 hymnals Topics: The Future Life Mortality Lyrics: 1. A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Within their heav'nly home: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2. A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3. 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

If, On a Quiet Sea

Author: Rev, A. M. Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 240 hymnals Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven First Line: If, on a quiet sea Lyrics: 1. If, on a quiet sea, Tow'rd heav'n we calmly sail, With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee, We'll own the fav'ring gale; With grateful hearts, O God, to Thee, We'll own the fav'ring gale. 2. But should the surges rise, And rest delay to come, Blest be the tempest, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home; Blest be the tempest, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home. 3. Soon shall our doubts and fears All yield to Thy control; Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul; Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul. 4. Teach us, in ev'ry state, To make Thy will our own; And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone; And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone. Used With Tune: SELVIN

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 hat been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 2. The King there in His beauty Without a veil is seen; It were a well-spent journey Tho' seven deaths lay between: The lamb with his fair army Doth on Mount Zion stand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 3. 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 fullness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 4. 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 Emmanuel's land.

Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall; May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heav'n, my all,... My God, my heav'n, my all. 4. There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heav'nly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast,... Across my peaceful breast. Used With Tune: MILES LANE

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. Used With Tune: EWING

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 236 hymnals Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Lyrics: 1. Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Halleluia, halleluia, Halleluia, Lord, to Thee! Multitudes which none can number Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hand. 2. They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3. Now they reign in heav'nly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste forever, Heav'nly truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity.
