'For ever with the Lord!'

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #686 (2010) Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 'Forever with the Lord!' Amen: so let it be; life from the death is in that word, 'tis immortality. Here in the body pent, absent from him, I roam, yet nightly pitch my moving tent a day's march nearer home. 2 My Father's house on high, home of my soul, how near at times to faith's foreseeing eye thy golden gates appear! Ah! Then my spirit faints to reach the land I love, the bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above. 3 'For ever with the Lord!' Father, if 'tis thy will, the promise of that faithful word even here to me fulfill. be thou at my right hand, then can I never fail; uphold thou me, and I shall stand, fight, and I must prevail. 4 So when my latest breath shall rend the veil in twain, by death I shall escape from death, and life eternal gain. Knowing as I am known, how shall I love that word, and oft repeat before the throne, 'forever with the Lord!' Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER HOME

In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer

Author: William Henry Draper, 1855-1933 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #689 (2010) Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer for the saints who before us have found their reward; when the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed, but now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord. 2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at evening, he called them away from our worship below; but not till his love, at the font and the altar, had girt them with grace for the way they should go. 3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy, and dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims, and still they were seeking the city of God. 4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found him, whose journey is ended, whose perils are past; they believed in the light; and its glory is round them, where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last.

All is finished, their fight with death and sin; fling open wide the golden gates, and let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation and all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes a thousand-fold repaid! 3 Oh, then what raptured greetings on Canaan's happy shore, what knitting severed friendships up, where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle that brimmed with tears of late; orphans no longer fatherless, nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near thy great salvation, thou Lamb for sinners slain, fill up the roll of thine elect, then take thy power and reign; appear, Desire of Nations, thine exiles long for home; show in the heavens thy promised sign; thou Prince and Saviour, come.
