Long upon the mountains, weary

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home Lyrics: 1 Long upon the mountains, weary. Have the scattered flock been torn; Dark the desert paths, and dreary; Grievous trials have they borne. Now the gath'ring call is sounding, Solemn in its warning voice; Union, faith, and love, abounding, Bid the little flock rejoice. 2 Now the light of truth they're seeking. In its onward track pursue; All the ten commandments keeping, They are holy, just, and true. On the words of life they're feeding, Precious to their taste, so sweet; All their Master's precepts heeding, Bowing humbly at his feet. 3 Soon He comes, with clouds descending; All his saints, entombed, arise; The redeemed, in anthems blending, Shout their vict'ry thro' the skies. O, we long for thine appearing! Come, O Saviour, quickly come! Blessed hope! our spirits cheering, Take thy ransomed children home.

Appears in 781 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes, with clouds descending, Once for favor'd sinners slain; Countless angels, him attending, Swell the triumph of his train: Hallelujah! Jesus comes and comes to reign. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him Robed in dreadful majesty! Those who set at naught and sold him, Pierced, and nailed him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Yea, amen! let all adore thee, High on thy eternal throne! Saviour, take the power and glory, Make thy righteous sentence known: O come quickly, Claim the kingdom for thine own.

Brief life is here our portion

Author: Bernard of Cluny Appears in 247 hymnals Topics: The Last Things The Heavenly Home; The Last Things The Heavenly Home; Eternal Life; Heaven Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life is there. O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals, and for sinners A mansion with the blest! 2 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown; And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Zion in her anguish With Babylon must cope; 3 But He whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known; And they that know and see Him Shall have Him for their own. The morning shall awaken, And shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day. 4 There grief is turned to pleasure, Such pleasure as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know. There God, our king and portion, In fullness of His grace, Shall we behold for ever, And worship face to face. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest.
