The glory of the elect,
O dear and future vision
That eager hearts expect!

E'en here thy walls discern;
To thee my thoughts are kindled,
And strive and pant and yearn.
2 Jerusalem the golden,
Thou hope of saints below,
In thee is all my glory,
In me is all my woe;
Jerusalem! exulting
On that securest shore,
I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee,
And love thee evermore.
3 O sweet and blessed country!
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed country!
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes!
The Lord shall be thy part;
His only, his forever,
Thou shalt be and thou art. Tune Title: EWING

Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #990 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints; Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard,
Nor sense nor reason known
What joys the Father hath prepared
For those that love his Son:
But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals a heaven to come;
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.

Pollution, sin, and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb. Tune Title: VARINA

There is a happy land
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1000 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land,

Praise, praise for aye.

Come, come away;
Why will ye doubting stand?
Why still delay?
O! we shall happy be,
From all sin and sorrow free;
Lord, we shall live with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.

Kept by a Father's hand,

There is a happy land
Then sing of the beautiful hills
Author: J. G. C. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1366 (1886) Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints First Line: O the beautiful hills where the saints will rest Lyrics: 1 O the beautiful hills where the saints will rest,
When the Lord has made all things new;
Where we shall forget, in the smile of God,
The toils we have journeyed through,
We have seen those hills in their brightness rise
By the eye of faith below,
And we've felt the thrill of immortal eyes
In the night of our darkest woe.
Chorus:
The sing of the beautiful hills,
That rise from the ever green shore;
O sing of the beautiful hills,
When the weary shall toil no more.
2 The cities of yore that were reared in crime,
And renowned by the praise of seers,
Went down in the tramp of old King Time,
To sleep with his grey-haired years;
But the beautiful hills rise bright and strong
Thro' the smoke of old Time's red wars,
As on that day when the first deep song
Rolled up from the morning stars. [Chorus]
3 We dream of rest on the beautiful hills,
Where the trav'ler shall thirst no more;
And we hear the hum of a thousand rills
That wander the green glens o'er.
We'll grasp the hands of the martyred ones,
Who have braved the world's rude strife,
And shout with them o'er the vict'ry gained,
And the crown of immortal life. [Chorus]
4 Our arms are weak, yet we would not fling
To our feet this load of ours;
The winds of spring to the valleys sing,
And the turf replies with flowers,
And thus we learn on our wintry way
That our Father rules as he wills;
And the breath of God on our souls shall play
Till we reach those radiant hills. [Chorus]

O 'tis a world most bright,
No more death, nor woe, nor night,
Faith views it with delight,
Knowing 'tis sure.
2 There Jesus Christ shall reign,
All glorious King!
There music's rapturous strain
Ever will ring:
Saints, who in ages by,
Suffered, and were called to die,
There in sweet harmony,
Anthems will sing.
3 O, 'twill be paradise,
Eden restored;
All beauteous in their eyes
Who love the word:
Wastes, that are now so drear,
Like the rose shall blossom there,
And be a garden fair,
As saith the Lord.
4 There life's unfading tree
Will bloom most fair,
And immortality
Its leaves shall bear;
While a pure stream will flow,
And a joy no mortals know
Will to each soul bestow
Who enters there.
5 O, that bright world to come!
Tongue cannot tell
How blessed is the home
Where saints will dwell;
Turn then from sin away,
And the word of God obey,
Then at the last great day,
All will be well. Tune Title: WORLD TO COME

They bore the cross, despised the shame;
But now from all their labors rest
In God's eternal glory blest.

They sing the triumph of his grace;
And day and night, with ceaseless praise,
To him their loud hosannas raise.

Wage to the end the glorious strife,
And win, like them, a crown of life! Tune Title: ANVERN

Where the loved of the Lord will abide;
'Tis a home which the glory of God doth illume,
And nothing of ill can betide.
There sorrow and tears are forever unknown,
And joys never ending find room;
There the brow wears the impress of heavenly peace,
And the cheek immortality's bloom.
2 O kingdom of rest! would we taste of thy bliss,
And share in the promised reward,
We must carefully lift ev'ry cross that appears,
And joyfully follow our Lord.
Tho' the road lead thro' toiling and suffering here,
We must drink of the cup that is giv'n;

If they enter the kingdom of heav'n. Scripture: Revelation 21:1 Tune Title: KINGDOM OF REST

We have heard from the bright, the holy land

For we were a lonely pilgrim band,
And weary, and worn, and sad.
They tell us the saints have a dwelling there;
No longer are homeless ones;
And we know that the goodly land is fair,
Where life's pure river runs.
2 They say green fields are waving there,
That never a blight shall know;
And the deserts wild are blooming fair,
And the roses of Sharon grow.
There are lovely birds in the bowers green,
Their songs are blithe and sweet;
And their warblings, gushing ever new,
The angels' harpings greet.
3 We have heard of the palms, the robes, the crowns,
And the silvery band in white;
Of the city fair, with pearly gates,
All radiant with light.
We have heard of the angels there, and saints,
With their harps of gold, how they sing:
Of the mount, with the fruitful tree of life,
Of the leaves that healing bring.
4 The King of that country, he is fair,
He's the joy and light of the place;
In his beauty we shall behold him there,
And bask in his smiling face.
We'll be there, we'll be there in a little while,
We'll join the pure and the blest;
We'll have the palm, the robe, the crown,
And forever be at rest.

Is wafted on the balmy air,

The matchless depths of a Saviour's love. [Refrain]

O what a mighty change
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #987 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 O what a mighty change
Shall Jesus' followers know,
When o'er the happy plains they range,
Incapable of woe!
2 There all our griefs are passed;
There all our sorrows end;
We gain a peaceful rest at last,
With Jesus Christ, our Friend.
3 No slightest touch of pain,
Nor sorrow's least alloy,
Can violate our rest, or stain
Our purity of joy.
4 In that eternal day,
No clouds nor tempests rise;
There gushing tears are wiped away
Forever from our eyes.

O what a mighty change
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #991 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
O, the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight!
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
2 There, generous fruits that never fail,
On trees immortal, grow;
There rocks and hills and brooks and vale,
With milk and honey flow.
O'er all those wide, extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There Christ, the sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his kingdom rest?
Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless, I'd launch away. Tune Title: VARINA

Round the altar night and day,
Singing one triumphant song?
Chorus:
Clean robes, white robes
Robes for the righteous,
Robes for the righteous,
Wait in the vestry of the Lord,
White robes wait for me.
2 These through fiery trials trod;
These through great afflictions came;
Now before the throne of God,
Sealed with his almighty name; [Chorus]
3 Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor palms in every hand,
Through their great Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand. [Chorus]

Perfect love dispels all fears;
And forever from their eyes
God shall wipe away their tears. [Chorus] Tune Title: WHITE ROBES

Might live forevermore. [Refrain]

And bring the promised day." [Refrain]

Whose inhabitants never of sickness complain,
And never see death any more.

It will the sooner be o'er,

Under our Saviour's command;
And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave;
For Jesus will bring us to land. [Chorus]
3 Both the winds and the waves our Commander controls;
Nothing can baffle his skill;
And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls,
Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus]
4 In the thick, murky night, when the stars and the moon
Send not a glimmering ray,
Then the light of His countenance, brighter than noon,
Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus]
5 Let the high-heaving billows and mountainous wave,
Fearfully overhead break,
There is One by our side that can comfort and save,
There is One who will never forsake. [Chorus]

We've no abiding city here

Sad truth, were this to be our home;
But let this thought our spirits cheer,
We seek a city yet to come,

2 We've no abiding city here,
We seek a city out of sight;
Zion its name, the Lord is there,
It shines with everlasting light.
3 O sweet abode of peace and love,
Where pilgrims, freed from toil, are blest!
Had I the pinions of a dove,
I'd fly to thee, and be at rest.

The time my God appoints is best:
While here, to do his will be mine,
And his to fix my time of rest. Tune Title: ANDRE

There is a land mine eye hath seen
Author: Gurdon Robins Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #978 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a land mine eye hath seen
In visions of enraptured thought,
So bright, that all which spreads between
Is with its radiant glories fraught,
2 A land upon whose blissful shore
There rests no shadow, falls no stain;
There those who meet shall part no more,
And those long parted meet gain.
3 Its skies are not like earthly skies,
With varying hues of shade and light;
It hath no need of suns to rise
To dissipate the gloom of night;
4 There sweeps no desolating wind
Across that calm, serene abode;
The wanderer there a home may find
Within the paradise of God. Tune Title: ANDRE
There is a land mine eye hath seen
Beyond this gloomy night
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #988 (1886) Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Beyond this gloomy night
Eternal beauties rise,
A land of love, a land of light,
Unseen by mortal eyes.
2 No cloud those regions know,
Realms ever bright and fair;
For sin, the source of mortal woe,
Can never enter there.
3 O may the prospect fire
Our hearts with ardent love,
Till wings of faith, and strong desire,
Bear every thought above. Tune Title: SILVER STREET
Beyond this gloomy night
