Wake, Isles of the South! your redemption is near
Hymnal: SH1835 #86 (1854) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics:
1.
Wake, Isles of the South! your redemption is near,
No longer repose in the borders of gloom;
The strength of his chosen in love shall appear,
And light shall arise on the verge of the tomb,
(Repeat previous line).
2.
The billows that girt you, the wild waves that roar,
The zephyrs that play where the ocean storms cease,
Shall bear the rich freight to your desolate shore,
Shall waft the glad tidings of pardon and peace.
(Repeat previous line).
3.
On the islands that sit in the regions of night,
The lands of despair, to oblivion a prey,
The morning will open with healing and light,
The glad Star of Bethlehem brighten to day.
(Repeat previous line).
4.
The altar and idol in dust overthrown,
The incense forbade that was hallowed with blood;
The priest of Melchizedek there shall atone,
And the shrine of Atol be sacred to God.
5.
The heathen will hasten to welcome the time,
The day spring, the prophet in vision once saw,
When the beams of Messiah will 'lumine each clime,
And the isles of the ocean shall wait for his law.

Wake, Isles of the South! your redemption is near
Hail! ye sighing sons of sorrow
Hymnal: SH1835 #87 (1854) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics:
1.
Hail! ye sighing sons of sorrow,
Learn from me your certain doom;
Learn from me your fate tomorrow,
Dead--perhaps laid in your tomb!
See all nature fading, dying!
Silent all things seem to pine;
Life from vegetation flying,
Brings to mind "the mouldering vine."
2.
See! in yonder forest standing,
Lofty cedars, how they nod!
Scenes of nature how surprising,
Read in nature nature's God.
Whilst the annual frosts are cropping,
Leaves and tendrils from the trees,
So our friends are early drooping,
We are like to one of these.
3.
Hollow winds about me roaring,
Noisy waters round me rise;
Whilst I sit my fate deploring,
Tears fast streaming from my eyes
What to me is autumns's treasure
Since I know no earthly joy,
Long I've lost all youthful pleasure,
Time must youth and health destroy.
Languages: English Tune Title: THE MOULDERING VINE
Hail! ye sighing sons of sorrow
Come away to the skies
Hymnal: SH1835 #88 (1854) Meter: 6.6.9 Lyrics:
1.
Come away to the skies. My beloved, arise,
And rejoice in the day thou wast born;
On this festival day, come exulting away,
And with singing to Zion return.
2.
We have laid up our love and our treasure above,
Though our bodies continue below,
The redeemed of the Lord will remember his word,
And with singing to paradise go.
3.
Now with singing and praise, let us spend all the days,
By our heavenly Father bestowed,
While his grace we receive from his bounty, and live
To the honor and glory of God.
4.
For the glory we were first created to share,
Both the nature and kingdom divine!
Now created again that our souls may remain,
Throughout time and eternity thine.
5.
We with thanks to approve, the design of that love
Which hath joined us to Jesus's name;
So united in heart, let us never more part,
Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.
6.
There, O! there at his feet, we shall all likewise meet,
And be parted in body no more;
We shall sing to our lyres, with the heavenly choirs,
And our Savior in glory adore.
7.
Hallelujah we sing, to our Father and King,
And his rapturous praises repeat:
To the Lamb that was slain, Hallelujah again,
Sing, all heaven and fall at his feet.

Come away to the skies
O tell me where the Dove has flown
Hymnal: SH1835 #89 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
O tell me where the Dove has flown
To build her downy nest,
And I will rove this world all o'er,
To win her to my breast,
(Repeat previous line).
2.
I sought her in the groves of love,
I knew her tender heart;
But she had flown--the Dove of Peace
Had felt a traitor's dart,
(Repeat previous line).
3.
I sought her on the flowery lawn,
Where pleasure holds her train;
But fancy flies from flower to flower,
So there I sought in vain,
(Repeat previous line).
4.
'Twas on Ambition's craggy hill,
The Bird of Peace might stray;
I sought her there, though vainly still,
She never flew that way,
(Repeat previous line).
5.
Faith smiled, and shed a silent tear,
To see my search around,
Then whispered "I will tell you where
The Dove may yet be found,
(Repeat previous line)."
6.
"By meek Religion's humble cot,
She builds her downy nest;
Go, seek that sweet secluded spot,
And win her to your breast,
(Repeat previous line)."

There is a happy land
Hymnal: SH1835 #89b (1854) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.7.6.4 Lyrics:
1.
There is a happy land
Far, far away,
Where saints in glory stand,
Bright, bright as day.
O how they sweetly sing:
Worthy is our Savior King!
Loud let his praises ring,
Praise, praise for aye.
2.
Come to this happy land,
Come, come away;
Why will you doubting stand,
Why still delay?
O we shall happy be
When, from sin and sorrow free,
Lord, we shall live with thee,
Blest, blest for aye.
3.
Bright in that happy land
Beams every eye;
Kept by a Father's hand,
Love cannot die.
Then shall his kingdom come,
Be a crown and kingdom won,
Saints shall share a glorious home,
And bright above the sun
We'll reign for aye.

Father, I long, I faint to see

And 'tis a pleasing sight,
But to abide in thine embrace

And if you meet with troubles
And trials on the way,
Then cast your care on Jesus,
And don't forget to pray.
Gird on the heavenly armor
Of faith, and hope, and love;
And when the combat's ended,
He'll take you up above.
