Hail to the Brightness
Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 467 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning! Lyrics: 1. Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning:
Zion, in triumph, begins her mild reign.
2. Lo, in the desert, rich flowers are springing;
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud, from the mountaintops, echoes are ringing;
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.
3. See, the dead risen from land and from ocean;
Praise to Jehovah, ascending on high;
Fall'n are the engines of war and commotion;
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.
Used With Tune: [Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!]

Gliding Swiftly By
Author: D. Nelson Appears in 601 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: My days are gliding swiftly by Refrain First Line: For O, we stand on Jordan's strand Lyrics: 1 My days are gliding swiftly by,
And I, a pilgrim stranger,
Would not detain them as they fly
These hours of toil and danger;
Chorus:
For O, we stand on Jordan's strand,
And soon we'll all pass over;
And just before, the shining shore,
We may almost discover.
2 We'll gird our loins, my brethren dear,
Our distant home discerning;
Our absent Lord has left us word,
Let ev'ry lamp be burning. [Chorus]
3 Should coming days be cold and dark,
We need not cease our singing;
That perfect rest naught can molest,
Where golden harps are ringing. [Chorus]
4 Let sorrow's rudest tempests blow,
Each cord on earth to sever,
Our King says, Come, and there's our home,
Forever, O, forever! [Chorus] Used With Tune: SHINING SHORE

That country so bright and so fair,

Its walls deck'd with jewels so rare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold,
But what must it be to be there!

From sorrow, temptation and care,
From trials without and within,
But what must it be to be there!
We speak of its service of love,
And robes which the glorified wear,
The church of the firstborn above,
But what must it be to be there!
3. Do Thee, midst temptation and woe,
For heaven my spirit prepare,
And shortly I also shall know
And feel what it is to be there;
Then o'er the bright fields we shall roam,
In glory celestial and fair,
With saints and with angels at home,
And Jesus himself will be there. Used With Tune: CONTRAST

Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality!
Here is the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near!
At times, to faith's unclouded eye,
Thy golden gates appear.
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
Even here to 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!" Used With Tune: NEARER HOME

While the years of eternity roll.

Its bright, jasper walls I can see,

Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes
Between the fair city and me.

Where Jesus of Nazareth stand;
The King of all kingdoms forever, is he,
And He holdeth our crowns in His hands,
And He holdeth our crowns in His hands;
The King of all kingdoms forever, is He,
And He holdeth our crowns in His hands.

So free from all sorrow and pain;
With song on our lips and with harps in our hands,
To meet one another again!
To meet one another again!

To meet one another again.

Land of Pure Delight
Author: Watts Appears in 1,418 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal 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 with'ring flow'rs,
And but a little space divides
This heav'nly land from ours.
2. Pure is the land the saints espy,
And all the region peace;
No wanton lips nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.
Those holy gates forever bar
Pollution, sin, and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But foll'wers of the Lamb.
3. O could we make our doubts remove
Those 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 all this world's pretended good
Could ever charm us more.
