For ever with the Lord

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Appears in 632 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For ever with the Lord! Amen; so let it be! Life from the dead 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 E’en herein me fulfil. 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: For ever with the Lord! Topics: The Life to Come

And time’s wild wintry blast Soon will be overpast, I shall reach home at last, Heaven is my home. 3 There, at my Saviour’s side, Heaven is my home, I shall be glorified, Heaven is my home; There, with the good and blest, Those I loved most and best, I shall for ever rest, Heaven is my home.

O soul, consider and be wise

Author: Will J. Brand (1889-1977) Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O soul, consider and be wise, And seek salvation while you may, In this alone your safety lies Against the aweful judgment day; ‘Tis Heaven or Hell, the choice is yours Which through eternity endures. 2 Satan has taught mankind to sin, And lures them from the heavenly goal; Shall he a further triumph win, And doom your unrepenting soul To travel an unending road, For ever separate from God? 3 Where God is not! O aweful thought, A realm deserted, cast aside, With sin to full fruition brought And evil crowned and deified; Where dread remorse and vain desire Burn like an unconsuming fire. 4 God stoops from Heaven your soul to save, He calls you now from Calvary; What hope have you beyond the grave, And who can give you hope but he? Why longer in your sin remain? For your redemption Christ was slain. Topics: The Life to Come

Refrain: I am bound for the promised land, I’m bound for the promised land; O who will come and go with me? I am bound for the promised land. 2 That bright, transporting, rapturous scene That rises to my sight, Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight. 3 There generous fruits that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocky hills, and brooks and vales, With milk and honey flow. 4 O’er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God, the Son, forever reigns And scatters night away. 5 Soon will the Lord my soul prepare For joys beyond the sky, Where never-ceasing music rolls, And praises never die.

Servant of God, well done

Author: James Montgomery (1771-1854) Appears in 196 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Servant of God, well done! Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master’s joy. 2 The heavenly summons came, He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame, He fell, but felt no fear. 3 His spirit, with a bound, Left its encumbering clay; His tent, at sunrise, on the ground A darkened ruin lay. 4 The pains of death are past, Labour and sorrow cease; And, life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. 5 Soldier of Christ, well done! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour’s joy. Topics: The Life to Come
