The precious seed of weeping

Author: Miss Winkworth; Charles John Spitta Meter: 7.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Burial Lyrics: 1 The precious seed of weeping To-day we sow once more, The form of one now sleeping, Whose pilgrimage is o'er. Ah, death but safely lands him Where we too would attain; Our Father's voice demands him, And death to him is gain. 2 He has what we are wanting, He sees what we believe; The sins on earth so haunting Have there no power to grieve; Safe in His Saviour's keeping Who sent him calm release; 'Tis only we are weeping, He dwells in perfect peace. 3 The crown of life he weareth. He bears the shining palm, The "Holy, holy," shareth, And joins the angels' psalm; But we poor pilgrims wander Still through this land of woe, Till we shall meet him yonder, And all his joy shall know.

When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 O when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where evermore the angels sing, Where sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink from pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 7 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joys shall see. Used With Tune: MACFARREN Text Sources: Composite translation, 1801, a.

From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 3 In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity. in our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
