We may sleep, but not forever

Author: Mrs. M. A. Kidder Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We may sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part, no, never, On the resurrection morn. From the deepest caves of ocean, From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless throngs shall rise again. Refrain: We may sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part, no, never, On the resurrection morn. 2 When we see a precious blossom That we tended with such care Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair. Round the silent grave we linger Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. [Refrain] 3 We may sleep, but not forever, In the lone and silent grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Blessed be the Lord that gave. In the bright, eternal city, Death can never, never come; In his own good time he'll call us From our rest to home, sweet home. [Refrain] Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: RESURRECTION

Williamson Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, on this Sabbath-day of rest We lift to thee our earnest praise, Obedient to the high behest Which thou didst give to guide our ways. 2 We thank thee for the holy light That from thy law shines full and clear, Directing our weak steps aright Through earth's low path of doubt and fear. 3 For Jesus, too, whom thou didst send To teach the way of grace and truth, We bow before thy throne, and blend The thanks of age, the love of youth. 4 O, write thy word on every heart! In us let thy pure Spirit live, That his rich presence may impart Such peace as thou alone canst give. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Used With Tune: BURTON

O what is life? 'tis like a flower

Author: Jane Taylor Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what is life? 'tis like a flower That blossoms and is gone; It flourishes its little hour, With all its beauty on; Death comes, and, like a wintry day, It cuts the lovely flower away. 2 O, what is life? 'Tis like the bow That glistens in the sky: We love to see its colors glow, But while we look they die: Life fails as soon: to-day 'tis here; To-morrow it may disappear. 3 Lord, what is life? If spent with thee, In humble praise and prayer, How long or short our life may be We feel no anxious care; Though life depart, our joys shall last When life and all its joys are past.
