Brief life is here our portion
Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #527 (1917) Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life is there.
2 O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest,
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest.
3 That we should look, poor wanderers
To have or home on high!
That we should seek for dwellings
beyond the starry sky!
4 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.
5 For Thee, O dear, dear Country!
Mine eyes their vigils keep;
For very love, beholding
Thy happy name, they weep;
6 The mention of thy glory
In unction to the breast.
And medicine in sickness
And love, and life, and rest.
7 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean!
thou hast no time, bright ay!
Dear fountain of refreshment
To pilgrims far away!
8 Upon the Rock of Ages
They raise thy holy tower;
Thine is the victor's laurel,
And thine the golden dower.
Amen.

Hark! Hark, My Soul!
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The Hymnbook #426 (1955) Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain Topics: Life Everlasting, The; Life in Christ Life Everlasting, The First Line: Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling Refrain First Line: Angels of Jesus, angels of light Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore:
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling,
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.
Refrain:
Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!
2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
"Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come";
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home. [Refrain]
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. [Refrain]
4 Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;
Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. [Refrain]
5 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above,
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. [Refrain]
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 30:5 Tune Title: PILGRIMS (Smart)

The Crucified thy praise;

To pilgrims far away!

They raise the holy tower;

And thine the golden dower.

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #518 (1917) Topics: Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 My God, I am Thine! what a comfort divine,
What a blessing to know that my Jesus is mine!

And my heart it doth dance at the sound of His name.

And whoever hath found it, hath paradise found.

'Tis life everlasting, 'tis heaven below.

That, that is the fulness, but this is the taste.
And this I shall prove, till with joy I remove
To the heaven of heavens in Jesus' love. Languages: English Tune Title: HARWICH

Thy saints, from earth released,
Shall keep, with glories splendid,
Eternal holy feast.
There shall thy sons and daughters
The tree of life partake,
Shall drink the living waters,
And bread with thee shall break. A-men.

Before thy great white throne,
They all in joy abounding
Shall sing the song unknown:
Laud, honor, praise, thanksgiving
And glory ever be
To thee, the everlasting
And blessed Trinity.

Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see;
Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be All, and in all ever blest.
2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
"Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 We, where no trouble distraction can bring,
Safely the anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son;
In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
Amen. Scripture: Daniel 12:3 Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA

Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnbook #427 (1955) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: Life Everlasting, The; Life in Christ Life Everlasting, The Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light;
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What meeting there of parted friends
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power, and reign;
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heaven Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Saviour, come.
Amen. Scripture: Revelation 5:11-13 Tune Title: ALFORD

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.
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.
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.
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.
Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Tune Title: EWING
