The sun is fast descending

Meter: Irregular Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christian experience A pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 The sun is fast descending His circuit from on high; The shades of eve are blending With yonder distant sky; Soon will the landscape vanish, And sable darkness banish These scenes from mortal eye. 2 Thus too our days are ending, The race will soon be run, Our sun is fast descending; Our work is almost done. Soon will our Master greet us, And heav'nly legions meet us To waft us to our home. 3 Then pilgrims! come, delay not On this unfriendly ground, And in the desert say not, That you have Canaan found. The fiery pillar leads us, The promised manna feeds us, But barren is the ground. 4 Come tune the harp to gladness, A song of Zion sing; Away with thoughts of sadness, We'll praise our heav'nly king. Our trials and our crosses, Our sufferings and our losses, But keep us near to him. 5 But Zion! when we raise thee A song in distant lands, The harp that fain would praise thee, Falls tuneless from our hands. Our hearts, distress'd and lonely, Can leap for gladness only In thy dear happy land.

Through this dark valley of conflict and sin

Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Through this dark valley of conflict and sin, Trials without and temptations within, Onward to glory, still urge thy lone way, Joyful in hope of the long-promised day. In every danger thou hast a sure Guide, To every cloud there is yet a bright side; Falter then not at the sternest behest, Ever remember 'tis all for the best. 2 Just as the eagle, in teaching to fly, Forceth her young from their covert so high; Then if strength faileth, beneath them she flies, On her wings beareth them safe to the skies; So will the arm of Jehovah uphold: In each affliction his mercies unfold; Murmur then not that he stirreth thy nest, Ever remember 'tis all for the best. 3 Never of Providence dare to complain, Sunshine and storm both must ripen the grain; Tried is the gold that the purest will shine, Crushed is the vintage that yieldeth the wine. He who the end from beginning can tell, Works for thy good, for he doeth all well: This, that prepares for the mansions of rest, Ever remember 'tis all for the best. Used With Tune: TRIUMPH

Min største Hjertens Glæde

Author: Johan Walther; Hans Sthen Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Min største Hjertens Glæde Er mig ny Sommer blid, Som Gud skal selv berede For mig til evig Tid; Ny Jord og Himmel holde Vi vente retnu snart, Da skulle vi faa holde Vor søde Himmelfart. 2 O Herre Krist jeg stunder Alt efter Komme din! Hjælp mig, jeg ikke blunder I Synd, og sovner ind, Men gladelig maa vente I de Aarvaagnes Flok, Der have Lamper tændte Og Lys og Olje nok! 3 Da glædes den, som sukked, O Herre, efter dig, Da faa vi se oplukket Det hele Himmerig, Da vil du høit os hædre Hos dig i Himlens Sal Med alle fromme Fædre Og Helgen uden Tal. 4 De ville os annamme Som sine Søskend smaa, De ville sig ei skamme Jevnsides os at staa; Der faa vi Lov at træde Dig nær til høire Haand, Og takke dig med Glæde, Vor kjære Frelsermand! 5 Der Gud paa Ærens Throne Sin seierrige Hær Vil hilse: Til din Krone Og Krans velkommen vær! Og Jesus selv vil smykke Den Brud, han kaared sig, Da ønsker os til Lykke Det hele Himmerig. 6 Da skal vi høre: Amen, Taksigelse og Pris! Da skal der være Gammen Paa glade Engles Vis; Saa lystelig de sjunge For Lammet og hans Brud, Da raaber hver en Tunge: Nu lovet være Gud! 7 Se, saa vil Gud os finde Og faa fra al vor Nød, Og gjemme godt derinde Fra Djævel, Synd og Død, Fra Sorg og Suk og Klage, Fra Sygdom, sot og Saar, Fra alle onde Dage, Som over Verden gaar. 8 Hvad intet Øre fanget, Hvad intet Øie saa, Hvad aldrig er opganget I noget Hjertes Vraa, Det haver Gud forvaret Til dem, ham elske her, Og bliver aabenbaret Der, Gud i Lyset er. 9 Thi skal I ei forsage, Som nu bær Sorgen stor, Og lider tungsom Plage Paa denne arme Jord! Sig trøste alle Fromme, De Stunder skride fort! Vor Herre snart vil komme, Og tage Sorgen bort. 10 O Herre, for din Ære Før os den rette Sti, Bevar os, Jesus kjære, Thi ellers vildes vi! Hold os i Troen faste I denne Taaredal, Du vil vist ogsaa haste Med os til Himlens Sal!
