There is no night in heaven
Author: Dr. F. M. Knollis, 1816-1863 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #563 (1917) Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 There is no night in heaven:
In that blest world above
Work never can bring weariness,
For work itself is love.
2 There is no grief in heaven:
For life is one glad day;
And tears are of those former things
Which all have passed away.
3 There is no sin in heaven;
Behold that blessed throng
All-holy is their spotless robe!
All-holy is their song!
4 There is no death in heaven:
For they who gain that shore
Have won their immortality,
And they can die no more.
5 Lord Jesus, be our Guide;
And lead us safely on,
Till night, and grief, and sin, and death
Are past, and heaven is won! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ETHELWALD
There is no night in heaven
Oh, where shall rest be found
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #599 (1899) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul?
'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
2 The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
'Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years--
And all that life is love.
4 Here would we end our quest;
Alone are found in Thee
The life of perfect love, the rest
Of immortality.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BRYAN
Oh, where shall rest be found
Spirit, leave thy house of clay
Author: Montgomery Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #918 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Clothed with Immortality Lyrics: 1 Spirit, leave thy house of clay;
Lingering dust, resign thy breath;
Spirit, cast thy chains away;
Dust, be thou dissolved in death!
Thus the mighty Saviour speaks,
While the faithful Christian dies;
Thus the bonds of life he breaks,
And the ransomed captive flies.
2 Prisoner, long detained below,
Prisoner, now with freedom blest,
Welcome from a world of woe;
Welcome to a land of rest:
Thus the choir of angels sing,
As they bear the soul on high,
While with hallelujahs ring
All the regions of the sky.
3 Grave! the guardian of our dust,
Grave! the treasury of the skies,
Every atom of thy trust
Rests in hope again to rise!
Hark! the judgment-trumpet calls--
Soul, rebuild thy house of clay:
Immortality thy walls,
And eternity thy day. Scripture: Psalm 16:9
Spirit, leave thy house of clay
There is a land immortal
Author: George MacKellar Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #603 (1899) Topics: Immortality Lyrics: 1 There is a land immortal,
The beautiful of lands,
Beside its ancient portal
A silent sentry stands;
He only can undo it,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it,
Are mortal nevermore.
2 Though dark and drear the passage
That leadeth to the gate,
Yet grace attends the message,
To souls that watch and wait:
And at the time appointed
A messenger comes down,
And guides the Lord's anointed
From cross to glory's crown.
3 Their sighs are lost in singing,
They're blessèd in their tears;
Their journey heavenward winging,
They leave on earth their fears:
Death like an angel seemeth;
"We welcome thee," they cry;
Their face with glory beameth--
'Tis life for them to die!
Amen.

There is a land immortal
In Hope, Hoping against Hope
Author: Steele Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Hope, that maketh not Ashamed: a Hope full of Immortality First Line: Why sinks my weak desponding mind? Lyrics: 1 Why sinks my weak desponding mind?
Why heaves my heart the anxious sigh?
Can sov'reign Goodness be unkind?
Am I not safe when God is nigh?
2 He holds all nature in his hand;
That gracious hand on which I live,
Does life, and time, and death command,
And has immortal joys to give.
3 'Tis he supports this fainting frame,
On him alone my hopes recline;
The wond'rous glories of his name,
How wide they spread! how bright they shine!
4 Infinite wisdom! boundless pow'r!
Unchanging faithfulness and love!
Here let me trust, while I adore,
Nor from my refuge e'er remove.
5 My God, if thou art mine indeed,
Then I have all my heart can crave;
A present help in times of need,
Still kind to hear, and strong to save.
6 Forgive my doubts, O gracious Lord,
And ease the sorrows of my breast;
Speak to my heart the healing word,
That thou art mine—and I am blest. Scripture: Micah 7:8-9 Languages: English

To go unto our God;
This gloomy earth forsaking,
Our journey homeward taking
Along the starry road.

Heaven's citizen to be;
A crown immortal wearing,
And rest unbroken sharing,
From care and conflict free.
3 No, no, it is not dying
The Shepherd's voice to know:
His sheep He ever leadeth,
His peaceful flock He feedeth,
Where living pastures grow.
4 No, no it is not dying
To wear a lordly crown;
Among God's people dwelling,
The glorious triumph swelling
Of Him whose sway we own.
5 Oh, no, this is not dying,
Thou Saviour of mankind!
There streams of love are flowing,
No hindrance ever knowing:
Here only drops we find.

Begotten again unto a lively Hope

The Father of our Lord:
Be his abounding mercy prais'd,
His majesty ador'd.
2 When from the dead he rais'd his Son,
And call'd him to the sky,
He gave our souls a lively hope
That they should never die.
3 What tho' our inbred sins require
Our flesh to see the dust,
Yet as the Lord our Saviour rose,
So all his foll'wers must.
4 There's an inheritance divine
Reserv'd against that day;
'Tis uncorrupted, undefil'd,
And cannot waste away.
5 Saints by the pow'r of God are kept
'Till the salvation come:
We walk by faith, as strangers here,
'Till Christ shall call us home. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-4 Languages: English

Gladly leaving all below;

And we still will follow thee.

Rejoicing, in the Hope set before Us
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXXVIII (1792) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Hope, that maketh not Ashamed: a Hope full of Immortality First Line: Now let our voices join Lyrics: 1 Now let our voices join,
To form a sacred song;
Ye pilgrims, in Jehovah's ways,
With musick pass along.
2 How strait the path appears,
How open and how fair!
No lurking gins t' entrap our feet;
No fierce destroyer there.
3 But flow'rs of paradise
In rich profusion spring;
The Sun of glory gilds the path,
And dear companions sing.
4 See Salem's golden spires
In beauteous prospect rise;
And brighter crowns than mortals wear,
Which sparkle thro' the skies.
5 All honour to his name
Who marks the shining way:
To him, who leads the wand'rers on
To realms of endless day. Scripture: James 5:11 Languages: English
Rejoicing, in the Hope set before Us
The Hope, which is the Anchor of the Soul
Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CCLXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Hope, that maketh not Ashamed: a Hope full of Immortality First Line: O God, my Sun, thy blissful rays Lyrics: 1 O God, my Sun, thy blissful rays
Irradiate, warm, and guide my heart!
How dark, how mournful are my days,
If his enliv'ning beams depart!
2 Scarce thro' the shades, a glimpse of day,
Appears to these desiring eyes!
But shall my drooping spirit say,
The chearful morn will never rise?
3 O let me not despairing mourn,
Tho' gloomy darkness spreads the sky;
My glorious Sun will yet return,
And night with all its horrors fly.
4 O for the bright the joyful day,
When hope shall in assurance die!
So tapers lose their feeble ray,
Beneath the Sun's refulgent eye. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13 Languages: English
The Hope, which is the Anchor of the Soul
