Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Anticipation First Line: Someday we'll cease our toiling here Refrain First Line: Some blessed day, oh, joyful day Lyrics: 1 Someday we’ll cease our toiling here, Our hopes are now on things above; Someday, without a doubt or fear, We’ll gather home to those we love. Refrain: Some blessed day, oh, joyful day, When we shall speed from earth away! Our feet shall press that golden shore, To be with Christ forevermore. 2 Someday the cord of life will break, That holds us to our house of clay, In which we groan till we shall wake In that fair home of endless day.

'Tis sweet to rest in lively hope

And all my rising bones shall say, Lord, who is like to Thee! 6 If such the views which grace unfolds, Weak as it is below, What raptures must the Church above, In Jesus' presence know.

Why should we start and fear to die?

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 423 hymnals Topics: Death anticipation of Lyrics: 1 Why should we start and fear to die? What tim'rous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate of endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there. 2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife, Fright our approaching souls away: Still we shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay. 3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet, My soul should stretch her wings in haste, Fly fearless through death’s iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she pass'd. 4 Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on his breast I lean my head, And breathe my life out sweetly there.

Oh, where shall rest be found

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 646 hymnals Topics: Death anticipation of Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years-- And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace! Teach us that death to shun: Lest we be driven from Thy face, And evermore undone. 6 Here would we end our quest; Alone are found in Thee The life of perfect love, the rest Of immortality.

Sacred Stillness

Author: B. E. W. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Anticipation First Line: In the twilight's sacred stillness Lyrics: 1 In the twilight’s sacred stillness, Where our kindred spirits blend, We with glad anticipation Wait that life which hath no end. Here we sit in meditation Of God’s awful words to man— “Dust thou art, to dust returnest”— This the order of his plan. 2 All this life is but a shadow, Only earthly things we see; Rippling stream and verdant meadow Waken tho’ts of praise in me. Thus the earth is robed in beauty, Sparkling jewels she doth wear; But the Lord’s transcendent glory We shall see when over there. 3 Blessed tho’t, ‘tis so transporting— As we lay these bodies down, We shall rise on wings immortal And receive a golden crown.— Free indeed thro’ his salvation, Free from trouble, grief and pain, Free at last from all temptation, Free, with Christ fore’er to reign. Used With Tune: [In the twilight's sacred stillness]
