"No more death"
Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: Laudes Domini #555 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is an hour of peaceful rest Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed;
A balm for every wounded breast;
'Tis found above in heaven.
2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven,
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
3 There faith lifts up her cheerful eye
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.
4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joy supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven! Languages: English Tune Title: WOODLAND

Not our Rest
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #569 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: This is not my place of resting Lyrics: 1 This is not my place of resting,
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward to it I am hasting
On to my eternal home.
2 In it all is light and glory;
O'er it shines a nightless day:
Every trace of sin's sad story,
All the curse, hath passed away.
3 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
By the streams of life along,
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song.
4 Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Never more are sad or weary,
Never, never sin again! Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER

Thither I press with eager feet;
There shall my rest be long and sweet. [Refrain]

The better portion
Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: Laudes Domini #566 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place:
Sun and moon and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season, and you know
Happy entrance will be given,
All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: AMSTERDAM

This is not my place of resting
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #561 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's rugged banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene,
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight!
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, for ever reigns,
And scatters night away.
No chilling winds, or poisonous breath,
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest?
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Can here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. Languages: English
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand
"Short toil"
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #558 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Brief life is here our portion Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;

The tearless life, is there:
Oh, happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals, and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest!
2 And there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow;
The light, that hath no evening,
The health, that hath no sore,
The life, that hath no ending,
But lasteth evermore.
3 There Jesus shall embrace us,
There Jesus be embraced,
That spirit's food and sunshine;
Whence earthly love is chased:
Yes! God my King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face. Languages: English

And my Saviour will welcome me there:
He will crown me with life, he will fill me with joy,
And his garment of love I shall wear.

And with sorrow my heart is oppressed,
Then my Saviour comes near, and I think with delight
Of the beautiful mansions of rest. [Refrain]

They are waiting me now on the shore;
And I know we shall meet at the portals of light,
When a few fleeting days shall be o'er. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: OLIM

Author: Frances E. Cox Hymnal: Laudes Domini #562 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Who are these like stars appearing Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing,
These, before God's throne who stand?
Each a golden crown is wearing;
Who are all this glorious band?
Alleluia! hark they sing,
Praising loud their heavenly King.
2 These are they who have contended
For their Saviour's honor long,
Wrestling on till life was ended,
Following not the sinful throng:
These, who well the fight sustained,
Triumph by the Lamb have gained.
3 These are they whose hearts were riven,
Sore with woe and anguish tried,
Who is prayer full oft have striven
With the God they glorified;
Now, their painful conflict o'er,
God has bid them weep no more.
4 These, like priests, have watched and waited,
Offering up to Christ their will,
Soul and body consecrated,
Day and night they serve him still:
Now in God's most holy place,
Blest they stand before his face.
5 Lo, the Lamb himself now feeds them,
On Mount Sion's pastures fair;
From his central throne he leads them
By the living fountains there:
Lamb and Shepherd, Good Supreme,
Free he gives the cooling stream. Languages: English Tune Title: CAERSALEM

The Happy Land
Author: Andrew Young Hymnal: Laudes Domini #556 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is a happy land Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land,
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand
Bright, bright as day.
Oh, how they sweetly sing,
"Worthy is our Saviour King,"
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye!
2 Come to that happy land,
Come, come away,
Why will ye doubting stand,
Why still delay?
Oh, we shall happy be,
When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord we shall dwell with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.
3 Bright in that happy land,
Beams every eye:
Kept by a Father's hand,
Love cannot die.
Oh, then to glory run;
Be a crown and Kingdom won,
And bright, above the sun,
We'll reign for aye. Languages: English Tune Title: HAPPY LAND

"The glory that excelleth"
Author: Charles I. Cameron Hymnal: Laudes Domini #560 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Oh, fair the gleams of glory Lyrics: 1 Oh, fair the gleams of glory,
And bright the scenes of mirth,
That lighten human story
And cheer, this weary earth;
But richer far our treasure
With whom the Spirit dwells,
Ours, ours in heavenly measure
The glory that excels.
2 The lamplight faintly gleaneth
Where shines the noonday ray;
From Jesus' face there beameth
Light of a sevenfold day;
And earth's pale lights, all faded,
The Light from heaven dispels;
But shines for aye unshaded
The glory that excels.
3 No broken cisterns need they
Who drink from living rills;
No other music heed they
Whom God's own music thrills.
Earth's precious things are tasteless,
Its boisterous mirth repels,
Where flows in measure wasteless
The glory that excels.
4 Since on our life descended
Those beams of light and love,
Our steps have heavenward tended,
Our eyes have looked above,
Till through the clouds concealing
The home where glory dwells,
Our Jesus comes revealing
The glory that excels. Languages: English
"The glory that excelleth"
"Go over this Jordan"
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #563 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
These gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes:
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Languages: English Tune Title: VARINA
"Go over this Jordan"

The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morning I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn, awakes.
Dark, dark hath been the midnight;
But dayspring is at hand,
And glory glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, 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 Immanuel's land.
3 With mercy and with judgment
My web of time he wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustred by his love;
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land. Languages: English Tune Title: RUTHERFORD

His only, his for ever,

Who are these in bright aray
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #571 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven Lyrics: 1 Who are these in bright array,
This innumerable throng
Round the altar, night and day
Hymning one triumphant song?
"Worthy is the Lamb, once slain,
Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches, to obtain,
New dominion every hour."
2 These through fiery trials trod;
These from great afflictions came;
Now, before the throne of God,
Sealed with his almighty name.
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed;
Them the Lamb, amid the throne,
Shall to living fountains lead:
Joy and gladness banish sighs
Perfect love dispel all fears
And for ever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tears. Languages: English

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 Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, I am my Beloved's,
And my Beloved's mine!
He brings a poor vile sinner
Into his "house of wine!"
I stand upon his merit,
I know no other stand,
Not ev'n where glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear Bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of Grace
Not at the crown he giveth,
But on his pierced hand
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Immanuel's land. Languages: English

With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed;

What social joys are there,
What radiancy of glory,
What light beyond compare.

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
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING
