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!

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 Who are these arrayed in white, Brighter than the noonday sun, Foremost of the sons of light, Nearest the eternal throne?

With steady pace the pilgrim moves

Author: Richard Jukes (1804-67) Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 With steady pace the pilgrim moves Toward the blissful shore, And sings with cheerful heart and voice: ‘Tis better on before. 2 His passage through a desert lies, Where furious lions roar; He takes his staff, and smiling says: ‘Tis better on before. 3 When tempted to forsake his God And give the contest o’er, He hears a voice which says: Look up, ‘Tis better on before. 4 When stern affliction clouds his face, And death stands at the door, Hope cheers him with her happiest note: ‘Tis better on before. 5 And when on Jordan’s bank he stands, And views the radiant shore, Bright angels whisper: Come away, ‘Tis better on before. 6 And so it is, for high in Heaven They never suffer more; Eternal calm succeeds the storm, ‘Tis better on before.

Death has lost its sting, the grave its victory, Conflicts and dangers are over; See him honoured at the throne of glory, Crowned by the hand of Jehovah. Refrain: Strife and sorrow over, The lord’s true faithful soldier Has been called to go from the ranks below To the conquering hast above. 2 Once the sword, but now the sceptre, Once the fight, now the rest and fame; Broken every earthly fetter, Now the glory for the cross and shame; Once the loss of all for Jesus, But now the eternal gain. Trials and sorrows here have now their meaning found, Mysteries their explanation; Safe for ever in the sunlight gleaming Of his eternal salvation.
