Forever with the Lord!

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 631 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! 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. Used With Tune: NEARER HOME

Author: Bishop William Walsham How Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 570 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest, Who Thee by faith before the world confessed, Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Alleluia! Alleluia! 2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might; Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia! Alleluia! 3 O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, And win with them the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia! Alleluia! 4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia! Alleluia! 5 And when the fight is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia! Alleluia! 6 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny, 12th century; Rev. John M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 911 hymnals 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. Refrain: Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed. 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] Amen. Used With Tune: URBS BEATA
