To Realms of Glory I Behold

Author: Claude W. Foss; Johan Olof Wallin Hymnal: The Junior Hymnal, Containing Sunday School and Luther League Liturgy and Hymns for the Sunday School #159 (1928) Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold My risen Lord returning; While I, a stranger in the earth, For heav'n am ever yearning. Far from my heav'nly Father’s home, ’Mid toil and sorrow here I roam. 2 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure, there my heart, Safe in my Saviour’s keeping; In heav’n, my blessed Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 3 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. That day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 4 And blessed shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee In joy and peace eternally. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [To realms of glory I behold]

The Abyss Of Many A Former Sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #178 (1927) First Line: Th'abyss of many a former sin Lyrics: 1 Th'abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bars me in; Like billows my transgressions roll Be Thou the pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Savior and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and mis'ry brought, The slave to many a fruitless tho't; I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possess'd Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! Accept me, Lord, I seek Thy grace; And let me see a Father's face! 4 With that blest thief my pray'r I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God, most high! With that lost prodigal I fain, Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite pray'r; Oh, Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!

The Wind of Change Forever Blown

Author: Sarojini Naidu, 1879-1949 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #183 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The wind of change forever blown across the tumult of our way, tomorrow’s unborn griefs depose the sorrows of our yesterday. Dream yields to dream, strife follows strife, and death unweaves the webs of life. 2 For us the labor and the heat, the broken secrets of our pride, the strenuous lessons of defeat, the flower deferred, the fruit denied; but not the peace, supremely won, great Buddha, of the lotus throne. 3 With futile hands we seek to gain our inaccessible desire, diviner summits to attain, with faith that sinks and feet that tire; but nought shall conquer or control the heav’nward hunger of our soul. 4 The end, elusive and afar, still lures us with its beck’ning flight, and our immortal moments are a session of the infinite. How shall we reach the great, unknown nirvana of your lotus throne?
