In Heaven Above

Author: Laurentius Laurentii Laurinius; Johan Astrom; William Maccall Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:4 First Line: In heaven above, in heaven above Lyrics: 1 In heaven above, in beaven above, where God our Father dwells, how boundless there the blessèdness-- no tongue its greatness tells! There face to face, and full and free, the everlasting God we see, our God, the Lord of hosts! 2 In heaven above, in heaven above, what glory deep and bright! The splendor of the noonday sun grows pale before its light; that mighty Sun that ne’er goes down, before whose face clouds never frown, is God the Lord of hosts! 3 In heaven above, in heaven above, no tears of pain are shed; for nothing there can fade or die, life’s fullness round is spread; and, like an ocean, joy o’erflows, and with immortal mercy glows our God, the Lord of hosts! 4 In heaven above, in heaven above, God has a joy prepared, which mortal ear has never heard, nor mortal vision shared, which never entered mortal thought, in mortal dreams was never sought, O God, the Lord of hosts!

By Grace I'm Saved

Author: Christian Ludwig Scheidt, 1709-61 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:6 First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless; My soul, believe and doubt it not. Why stagger at this word of promise? Has Scripture ever falsehood taught? No! Then this word must true remain; By grace you too will life obtain. 2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit; Our works and conduct have no worth. God in His love sent our Redeemer, Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth; His death did for our sins atone, And we are saved by grace alone. 3 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, Came down to earth to bear our sin. Was it because of your own merit That Jesus died your soul to win? No, it was grace, and grace alone, That brought Him from His heav'nly throne. 4 By grace! This ground of faith is certain; So long as God is true, it stands. What saints have penned by inspiration, What in His Word our God commands, Our faith in what our God has done Depends on grace--grace through His Son. 5 By grace to timid hearts that tremble, In tribulation's furnace tried, By grace, in spite of fear and trouble, The Father's heart is open wide. Where could I help and strength secure If grace were not my anchor sure? 6 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying; In Jesus' promise I rejoice; For though I know my heart's condition, I also know my Savior's voice. My heart is glad, all grief has flown Since I am saved by grace alone. Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE (DRETZEL) Text Sources: The Lutheran Hymnal, 1941 (Tr.), alt.

For Those We Love Within the Veil

Author: William Charter Piggott Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 64:4 Lyrics: 1 For those we love within the veil, who once were comrades of our way, we thank thee, Lord; for they have won to cloudless day. 2 Free from the fret of mortal years, and knowing now thy perfect will, with quickened sense and heightened joy they serve thee still. 3 O fuller, sweeter is that life, and larger, ampler is the air: eye cannot see nor heart conceive the glory there; 4 nor know to what high purpose thou dost yet employ their ripened powers, nor how at Thy behest they touch this life of ours. 5 And life for them is life indeed, the splendid goal of earth’s strait race; and where no shadows intervene they see thy face.
