For ever with the Lord

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Appears in 631 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 For ever with the Lord! Amen; so let it be! Life from the dead is in that word, ‘Tis immortality. Here in the body pent, Absent from him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day’s march nearer home. 2 My Father’s house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times, to faith’s foreseeing eye, Thy golden gates appear. Ah! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints. Jerusalem above. 3 For ever with the Lord! Father, if ‘tis thy will, The promise of that faithful word E’en herein me fulfil. Be thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold thou me, and I shall stand, Fight, and I must prevail. 4 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne: For ever with the Lord!

De temp' al tempo ĝin kaŝadas nubegar', kaj, kiel la kolombojn, min timigas venta mar'. Sed pasas la malhel'; alvenas bel-veter'; profetas arko sur ĉiel' pri paco kaj esper'. 4. Kaj kiam venos fin', en tago kiu ajn, mortante, morton venkos mi, per nova vivo-gajn'. En releviĝa hor' eksonos venko-kri': Denove, "Ĉiam ĉe l' Sinjor'!" "Amen'!" respondos mi.

They'll sing their welcome home to me

Refrain: They’ll sing their welcome home to me; And the angels will stand On the hallelujah strand, And sing me a welcome home. 2 Once they were mourners here below And poured out cries and tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins and doubts and fears. 3 I ask them whence their victory came; They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death. 4 They marked the footsteps that he trod; His zeal inspired their breast; And, following their incarnate God, Possess the promised rest. 5 Our glorious leader claims our praise For his own pattern given, While the long cloud of witnesses Shows the same path to Heaven.

For those we love within the veil

Author: William Charter Pigott (1872-1943) Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 For those we love within the veil, Who once were comrades of our way, We thank thee, Lord; for they have won To cloudless day. 2 And life for them is life indeed, The splendid goal of earth’s strait race; And where no shadows intervene They see thy face. 3 Free from the fret of mortal years, And knowing now thy perfect will, With quickened sense and heightened joy They serve thee still. 4 O fuller, sweeter is that life, And larger, ampler is the air; Eye cannot see nor heart conceive The glory there! 5 There are no tears within their eyes; With love they keep perpetual tryst; And praise and work and rest are one With thee, O Christ.
