Jerusalem, My Happy Home

Author: F. B. P. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 854 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, When shall my labors have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 2 When shall these eyes thy heav'n-built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend Where evermore the angels sing, Where Sabbaths have no end? 4 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Savior stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 5 Jerusalem, my happy home, When shall I come to thee? When shall my labors have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 6 O Christ, do Thou my soul prepare For that bright home of love That I may see Thee and adore, With all Thy saints above. Amen.

Break Forth, O Living Light of God

Author: Frank von Christierson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Break forth, O living light of God, Upon the world's dark hour! Show us the way the Master trod; Reveal his saving power. 2 Remove the veil of ancient words, With message long obscure; Restore to us your truth, O God, And make its meaning sure. 3 Show us the prophets and the priests, The kings, the common men, Who kept the faith and walked with you; O make them live again! 4 O let your Word be light anew To every nation's life; Unite us in your will, O Lord, And end all sinful strife. 5 O may one Lord, one faith, one Word, One Spirit lead us still; And one great church go forth in might To work God's perfect will. Amen.

Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolv'd

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Soon shall this earthly frame, dissolv'd, in death and ruins lie; but better mansions wait the just, prepar'd above the sky. 2 An house eternal, built by God, shall lodge the holy mind; When once those prison-walls have fall’n by which ‘tis now confined. 3 Hence, burden'd with a weight of clay, we groan beneath the load, waiting the hour which sets us free, and brings us home to God. 4 We know, that when the soul, uncloth'd, shall from this body fly, ’twill animate a purer frame with life that cannot die. 5 Such are the hopes that cheer the just; these hopes their God hath giv’n; his Spirit is the earnest now, and seals their souls for heav’n. 6 We walk by faith of joys to come, faith grounded on his word; but while this body is our home, we mourn an absent Lord. 7 What faith rejoices to believe, we long and pant to see; we would be absent from the flesh, and present, Lord! with thee. 8 But still, or here, or going hence, to this our labours tend, that, in his service spent, our life may in his favour end. 9 For, Lo! before the Son, as judge, th’ assembled world shall stand, to take the punishment or prize from his unerring hand. 10 Impartial retributions then our different lives await; our present actions, good or bad, shall fix our future fate.
