From distant shores returning
Author: H. Brueckner; C. G. Barth Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #353 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 From distant shores returning,
The pilgrim wanders home;
For rest his heart is yearning,
He would no longer roam.
2 A silent grave encloseth
What he most treasured here;
His heart no more reposeth,
But looks beyond for cheer.
3 Though royal cities tower
In strength and precious gold,
They vanish like a flower,
And soon their fall is told.
4 The rivers, swiftly flowing,
Merge with the ocean deep;
The mighty winds cease blowing,
And waves their silence keep.
5 The sound of harpstrings waneth
While floating on the air,
Nor day nor night retaineth
That melody so fair.
6 The pilgrim who the pleasures
Of yonder world can taste,
Cares naught for earthly treasures
That quickly go to waste.
7 He longs for things immortal,
For an eternal day,
And so to heaven's portal
He ever wends his way.
From distant shores returning
Wake, awake, for night is flying
Author: C. Winkworth; Ph. Nicolai Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #354 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying,
The watchmen on the heights are crying:
Awake, Jerusalem, at last!
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:
Come forth, ye virgins, night is past!
The Bridegroom comes, awake,
Your lamps with gladness take;
Hallelujah!
And for His marriage feast prepare,
For ye must go and meet Him there.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
And all her heart with joy is springing;
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all-glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious,
Her Star is risen, her Light is come!
Ah, come, Thou blesséd Lord!
O Jesus, Son of God,
Hallelujah!
We follow till the halls we see
Where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee.
3 Now let all the heavens adore Thee,
And saints and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal’s clearest tone;
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where we are with the choir immortal
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne;
Nor eye hath seen; nor ear
Hath yet attained to hear
What there is ours;
But we rejoice and sing to Thee
Our hymn of joy eternally.
Wake, awake, for night is flying
There many shall come from the east and the west
Author: P. O. Stromme; M. B. Landstad Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #357 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 There many shall come from the east and the west,
And sit at the feast of salvation,
With Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the blest,
Obeying the Lord’s invitation:
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
2 But they who have always resisted His grace,
And on their own virtue depended,
Shall then be condemned and cast out from His face,
Eternally lost and unfriended.
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
3 O may we all hear when our Shepherd doth call,
In accents persuasive and tender,
That while there is time we make haste, one and all,
And find Him, our mighty Defender!
Have mercy upon us, O Jesus!
There many shall come from the east and the west
O where is the home of the soul to be found?
Author: F. L. Joergens; H. Brueckner Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #360 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 O where is the home of the soul to be found?
Who knows its true shelter where comforts abound?
What city of refuge will offer a place
That sin cannot enter, the soul to disgrace?
Nowhere, nowhere do we behold
On earth such a city of blessings untold.
2 So leave this poor earth if that home thou wouldst see,
The home of the sainted from sorrow made free:
Jerusalem, city resplendent in gold,
Wilt thou to the soul all thy beauties unfold?
Truly, truly thou art the goal
Where rest is the portion of every pure soul.
3 How blissful the rest in that city so fair,
Where, dwelling with Jesus, the soul hath no care!
The sounding of harps in those mansions on high
Doth bid the soul welcome to heavenly joy.
Rest, rest, rest, rest, eternal rest,
I long to embrace thee, to be with the blest.
O where is the home of the soul to be found?

O what their joy and their glory must be
Author: J. M. Neale; P. Abelard Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #369 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
Those endless Sabbaths the blesséd ones see!
Crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be all and in all ever blest.
2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
Visions of peace that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fufillment can sever'd be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Your blesséd people eternally raise.
4 There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o'er,
Those Sabbath-keepers have one evermore;
One and unending is that triumph-song
Which to the angels and us shall belong.
5 Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high,
We for that country must yearn and must sigh;
Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
Through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
6 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of Whom, and in Whom, and through Whom are all;
Of Whom, the Father; and in Whom, the Son;
Through Whom, the Spirit, with Them ever One.
O what their joy and their glory must be
Jerusalem! my happy home
Author: Joseph Bromehead Hymnal: The Mennonite Hymnal #370 (1969) Topics: Life in Christ Life Eternal Tune Title: LAND OF REST
Jerusalem! my happy home
When children, young and tender
Author: H. Brueckner; J. A. Rothe Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #370 (1918) Topics: Life Eternal Lyrics: 1 When children, young and tender,
Their infant souls surrender,
And leave this earthly life,
No cause have we for weeping,
They are in God's own keeping,
Aloof from ev'ry pain and strife.
2 Baptismal grace possessing,
And every other blessing
That Jesus can bestow,
They pass, through death's dark portal,
To life and joy immortal,
And like the stars forever glow.
3 This child, though at its leaving
Our hearts are deeply grieving,
Went ne'er too soon away:
Farewell, thou sacred treasure,
We wish thee joy's full measure
In heav'n where thou hast gone to stay.
When children, young and tender
