Ye worlds of light that roll so near

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #53 (1821) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: MORNING-STAR Lyrics: 1. Ye worlds of light, that roll so nearThe Savior's throne of shining bliss,O tell, how mean your glories are,How faint and few, compared with his!2. We sing the bright and morning star,Jesus, the source of light and love;His purest rays, diffused from far,Conduct us to the realms above.3. 'Midst gloomy darkness spread abroad,This light directs the pilgrim's way;Still, as he goes, he finds the roadThat leads him safe to endless day.4. When we shall reach the glorious height,Where this bright star shall brightest shine,Leave far behind these scenes of night,And view the luster all divine.

Still out of the deepest abyss

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #22 (1821) Tune Title: MOURNER Lyrics: 1. Still out of the deepest abyssOf trouble I mournfully cry,And pine to recover my peace,To see my Redeemer, and die:I cannot, I cannot forbearThese passionate longings for home:O! when shall my spirit be there?O when will the messenger come?2. Thy nature I long to put on,Thine image on earth to regain,And then in the grave to lay downMy burden of body and pain:O Jesus, in pity draw near,And lull me to sleep on thy breast,Appear, to my rescue appear,And gather me into the rest.3. To take a poor fugitive in,The arms of thy mercy display,And give me to rest from all sin,And bear me triumphant away;Away from a world of distress,Away to the mansions above,The heaven of seeing thy face,The heaven of feeling thy love.

O blest abode!I shall be near and like my God!And flesh and sin no more controlThe sacred pleasures of the soul.My flesh shall slumber in the groundTill the last trumpet's joyful sound;Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,And in my Savior's image rise.

True pleasures aboundIn the rapturous sound;And whoever hath found it hath paradise found.My Jesus to know,And feel his blood flow,’Tis life everlasting, ’tis heaven below.3 Yet onward I hasteTo the heavenly feast;That, that is the fullness: but this is the taste.And this I shall prove,’Till with joy I removeTo the heaven of heavens of Jesus’s love.

Twas on that dark, that doleful night

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #17 (1821) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: PASSOVER Lyrics: 1. Twas on that dark, that doleful nightWhen powers of earth and hell aroseAgainst the Son of God's delight,And friends betrayed him to his foes:2. Before the mournful scene began,He took the bread, and blessed, and brake:What love through all his actions ran!What wondrous words of grace he spake!3. "This is my body, broke for sin;Receive and eat this living food:"Then took the cup, and blessed the wine;"Tis the new covenant in my blood."4. "Do this," he cried, "till time shall end,The memory of your dying Friend;Meet at my table, and recordThe love of your departed Lord."

Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #52 (1821) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: PATMOS Lyrics: 1. Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims,For all the pious dead;Sweet is the savor of their names,And soft their sleeping bed.2. They die in Jesus, and are blest;How kind their slumbers are!From sufferings and from sins released,And freed from every snare.3. Far from this world of toil and strife,Now present with the Lord;The labors of their mortal lifeEnd in a large reward.4. The glory of their heavenly crownUnfading still remains;And life eternal, now their own,Their Savior still maintains.

Come, O thou traveler unknown

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #14 (1821) Tune Title: PERSEVERANCE Lyrics: 1. Come, O thou traveler unknown,Whom still I hold, but cannot see,My company before is gone,And I am left alone with thee,With thee all night I mean to stay,And wrestle till the break of day.2. In vain thou strugglest to get free,I never will unloose my hold:Art thou the man that died for me?The secret of thy love unfold!Wrestling I will not let thee go,Till I thy name, thy nature know.3 What though my shrinking flesh complain,And murmur to contend so long,I rise superior to my pain,When I am weak then I am strong,And when my all of strength shall fail,I shall with the God-man prevail.4. Yield to me now—for I am weak;But confident in self-despair:Speak to my heart, in blessings speak,Be conquered by my instant prayer,Speak, or then never hence shalt move,And tell me, if thy name be love.5. ’Tis love, ’tis love; thou diedst for me,I hear thy whisper in my heart.The morning breaks, the shadows flee:Pure universal love thou art,To me, to all thy bowels move,Thy nature, and thy name is love.

How happy every child of grace

Hymnal: SOZ1821 #13 (1821) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: PILGRIM Lyrics: 1. How happy every child of graceWho knows his sins forgiven!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 seeThe land of rest, the saints’ delight,The heaven prepared for me.2. O what a blessed hope is ours!While here on earth we stay,We more than taste the heavenly powers,And antedate that day:We feel the resurrection near,Our life in Christ concealed,And with his glorious presence hereOur earthen vessels filled.3. O would he more of heaven bestow!And let the vessels break,And let our ransomed spirits goTo grasp the God we seek:In rapturous awe on him to gazeWho bought the sight for me,And shout and wonder at his graceThrough all eternity.

Sent by my Lord, on you I call,The invitation is to all;Come all the world! come, sinner, thou!All things in Christ are ready now.3. Come all ye souls, by sin oppressed,Ye restless wanderers after rest,Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,In Christ a hearty welcome find.4. My message as from God receive;Ye all may come to Christ and live;O let his love your hearts constrain,Nor suffer him to die in vain.5. His love is mighty to compel,His conquering love consent to feel,Yield to his love’s resistless power,And fight against your God no more.6. This is the time, no more delay!The invitation is "today;"Come in this moment, at his call,And live for him who died for all.
