Longing for Heaven

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Heaven Longed for; Heaven Longed for First Line: Sure 'tis in vain to seek for bliss Lyrics: 1 Sure 'tis in vain to seek for bliss, For bliss can ne'er be found, 'Till we arrive where Jesus is, And tread on heav'nly ground. 2 There's nothing round the spreading skies, Or on this earthy clod; Nothing, my soul that's worth thy joys, Or lovely as thy God. 3 'Tis heav'n on earth to taste his love, To feel his quick'ning grace; And all the heav'n I hope above, Is but to see his face. 4 Why move my years in slow delay? And why this fear to die? Death's but a guide that leads my way, To a superior sky. 5 Dear Sov'reign, break these vital strings, That bind me to my clay; Help me to rise and stretch my wings, And mount and soar away.

Mig hjertelig nu længes

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Hope and Longing for the Heavenly Lyrics: 1 Mig hjertelig nu længes Efter en salig Død, Thi ynkelig jeg trænges Af Usseldom og Nød; At vandre er jeg rede Fra Verden med en Fart Til Himmeriges Glæde, Kom, Jesus, kom nu snart! 2 Du haver mig af Naade Fra Synd og Død forløst, Og fra al Helveds Vaade, Det er min høi'ste Trøst: Hvi skulde jeg da grue For Dødens Bitterhed? Dit Aasyn skal jeg skue I evig Salighed. 3 Jeg ganske med stor Trygge Mod Døden nu vil staa, Thi jeg paa dig mon bygge, Ihvor det mig vil gaa, Om mig er sødt i Live, Og beeskt er Dødens Bud, Jeg vil mig gjerne give At dø i dig, min Gud! 4 Jeg veed en større Glæde, Hvortil min Sjæl gaar ind, Thi vil jeg freidig kvæde: Min Død er Baade min! Og lægges jeg i Jorde, Og tæres der min Krop, Den skal dog herlig vorde, Naar jeg igjen staar op. 5 Da Kristus vil fuld gjerne Mig gjøre skjær og reen, Saa klar som Morgenstjerne At skinne uden Meen, Saa leve uden Ende, Og uden Sorg og Nød, Hvo vilde sig da vende Og vride for sin Død? 6 Hvad er at leve efter I denne Verden her? Dens Guld og Glæde hefter Mig ei paa denne Ferd; Jeg det slet intet agter, Det staar saa kort ved Lag, Til Himmerig jeg tragter, Og det i denne Dag. 7 Om jeg skal efterlade Min Viv og Venner smaa, Som stande her uglade, Og vil mig holde paa, Jeg vil dog gjerne flytte, Og tro min Gud det til, Han skal dem trolig skjøtte, Han dem forsørge vil. 8 Du saart bedrøved' Enke, Mistrøste dig ei saa! Skuld' Gud dig ei betænke Som mader Ravne smaa? De Faderløses Fader, Og Enkernes Forsvar, Som sig paa ham forlader, Det er han aabenbar. 9 Thi vil jeg dig befale, O Hjertens Kjærest min, Den evig' Gud med alle, Han bo udi dig Sind; Slet intet maa du grue, Nu om en stakket Stund Vi begge skulle skue De Saliges Samfund! 10 Og nu vil jeg mig vende Til dig, min Himmel-Ven, Giv mig en salig Ende, Og dine Engler send, I Livet mig at lede, Som med din blodig Sved Du tjente mig til Glæde Og evig Salighed! 11 Nu maa jeg krige, kjæmpe Mod Døden, Jesu from, At jeg kan hannem dæmpe, Min Tro til Styrke kom! Min Sjæl giv nu den Glæde, Hvortil min Hu er vendt, At den ret snart maa kvæde; Nu har jeg salig endt!

This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in heaven: A country far from mortal sight Yet, O by faith I see The land of rest, the saints' delight, The heaven prepared for me. 2 A stranger in the world below, I calmly sojourn here; Nor can its happiness or woe Provoke my hope or fear. Its evils in a moment end, Its joys as soon are past; But, O the bliss to which I tend Eternally shall last! 3 To that Jerusalem above With singing I repair; While in the flesh, my hope and love, My heart and soul, are there: There my exalted Saviour stands, My merciful High Priest, And still extends His wounded hands To take me to His breast.
