Jesus, my all, to heav'n is gone

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 787 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till him I view. 2.

O when shall I get there? Used With Tune: SWEET HEAVEN

How tedious and tasteless the hours

Meter: 8.8.8. Appears in 652 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see; Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness to me; The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in him, December's as pleasant as May. 2. His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music his voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice; I should, were he always thus nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3. Content with beholding his face, My all to his pleasure resigned, No changes of season or place Would make any change in my mind: While blest with a sense of his love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4. Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine, If thou art my sun and my song, Say, why do I languish and pine? And why are my winters so long? O drive these dark clouds from my sky, Thy soul cheering presence restore; Or take me to thee up on high, Where winter and clouds are no more.

No mortal doth know what Christ will bestow, What life strength and comfort! go after him, go! Lo, onward I move, to see Christ above, None guesses how wondrous my journey will prove. 3. Great spoils I shall win from death, hell and sin, 'Midst outward afflictions shall feel Christ within; And still, which is best, I in his dear breast, As at the beginning, find pardon and rest. 4. When I am to die, "Receive me," I'll cry, For Jesus hath loved me, I cannot tell why. But this I do find, we two are so joined, He'll not live in glory and leave me behind; 5. This blessing is mine, through favor divine, And O, my dear Jesus, the praise shall be thine In heaven we'll meet in harmony sweet, And glory to Jesus! we'll then be complete.

Young people all, attention give

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Young people all, attention give, And hear what I shall say; I wish your souls with Christ to live, In everlasting day. Remember you are hast'ning on To death's dark, gloomy shade; Your joys on earth will soon be gone, Your flesh in dust be laid. 2. Death's iron gate you must pass through, Ere long, my dear young friends; With whom then do you think to go, With saints or fiery fiends? Pray meditate before too late, While in a gospel land, Behold King Jesus at the gate, Most lovingly doth stand. 3. Young men, how can you turn your face From such a glorious friend; Will you pursue your dangerous ways? O don't you fear the end? Will you pursue that dangerous road Which leads to death and hell? Will you refuse all peace with God, With devils for to dwell? 4. Young women too, what will you do, If out of Christ you die? From all God's people you must go, To weep, lament, and cry: Where you the least relief can't find, To mitigate your pain; Your good things all be left behind, Your souls in death remain. 5. Young people all, I pray then view The fountain opened wide; The spring of life opened for sin, Which flowed from Jesus' side; There you may drink in endless joy, And reign with Christ your king, In his glad notes your souls employ, And hallelujahs sing.
