I would not live alway; I ask not to stay

Author: Muhlenberg Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #952 (1873) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Scripture: Philippians 1:23 Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's joys, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway; no--welcome the tomb! Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom: There sweet be my rest till he bid me arise, To hail him in triumph descending the skies, 3 Who, who would live alway, away from his God-- Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where rivers of pleasure flow bright o'er the plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 4 There saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet; While anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here, in the body pent, Absent from him I roam; Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 For ever with the Lord! Father, if 'tis thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 4 So when my latest breath Shall rend the vail in twain, By death shall I escape from death, And life eternal gain. 5 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, For ever with the Lord!

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1358 (1886) Scripture: Philippians 1:23 First Line: "Forever with the Lord!" Lyrics: 1 "Forever with the Lord!" Amen, so let it be; Life for the dead is in that word: 'Tis immortality. Here in this body pent, Absent from him I roam; Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. Chorus: Nearer home, nearer home, A day's march nearer home. 2 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times to faith's aspiring eye, Thy gold gates appear! Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love; The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above. [Chorus] 3 And when the morn shall come That ends earth's night of pain, Thro' grace I shall escape the tomb, And life eternal gain; Then knowing "as I'm known," How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!" [Chorus] 4 "Forever with the Lord!" Father, if 'tis thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en now to me fulfill. Be thou at my right hand, Then I can never fail; Uphold thou me, and I shall stand, And in thy strength prevail. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Tune Title: FOREVER WITH THE LORD

I gave My life for thee; What hast thou giv'n for Me? 2 I spent long years for thee In weariness and woe That an eternity Of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; Hast thou spent one for Me? 3 My Father's home of light, My rainbow-circled throne, I left for earthly night, For wand'rings sad and lone. I left it all for thee; Hast thou left aught for Me? 4 I suffered much for thee, More than my tongue may tell, Of bitt'rest agony, To rescue thee from hell. I suffered much for thee; What canst thou bear for Me? 5 And I have brought to thee Down from My home above Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love. Great gifts I brought to thee; What hast thou brought to Me? 6 Oh, let thy life be given, Thy years for Me be spent, World's fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent! I gave Myself for thee; Give thou thyself to Me. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) Consecration Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 120TH
