Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 903 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'er flow, His lips with grace o'er flow. 2 No mortal can with him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is he than all the fair That fill the heav'nly train, That fill the heav'nly train. 3 He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me he bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief, And carried all my grief. 4 To him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave, And saves me from the grave. 5 To heav'n, the place of his abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete. And makes my joys complete. 6 Since from his bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine, Lord, they should all be thine. Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 2:9 Used With Tune: ORTONVILLE

Gates Appears in 341 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated First Line: I will sing you a song of that beautiful land Lyrics: 1 I will sing you a song of that beautiful land, The far away home of the soul, Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll, While the years of eternity roll; Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll. 2 O that home of the soul! In my visions and dreams, Its bright, jasper walls I can see; Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me, Between the fair city and me; Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me. 3 That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stands; The King of all kingdoms forever is he, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands; The King of all kingdoms forever is he, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands. 4 O how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain, With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again, To meet one another again; With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again. Amen. Scripture: Revelation 21:10 Used With Tune: [I will sing you a song of that beautiful land]

Who knows how near my end may be?

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Countess Emilia Juliana Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Death Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my end may be? Time speeds away, and death comes on. How swiftly, ah, how suddenly, May death be here, and life be gone! My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 2 O Father, cover all my sins With Jesus' merits, who alone The pardon that I covet wins, And makes His long-sought Rest my own. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 3 Then death may come or tarry yet; I know in Christ I perish not. He never will His own forget; He gives me robes without a spot. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 4 And thus I live in God at peace, And die without a thought of fear, Content to take what God decrees, For through His Son my faith is clear; His grace shall be in death my stay, And peace shall bless my dying day. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

My days are gliding swiftly by

Author: David Nelson Appears in 598 hymnals Topics: Death Anticipated Lyrics: 1 My days are gliding swiftly by, And I, a pilgrim stranger, Would not detain them as the fly, Those hours of toil and danger: Refrain: For now we stand on Jordan's strand; Our friends are passing over; And, just before, the shining shore We may almost discover. 2 Our absent King the watchword gave, "Let every lamp be burning;" We look afar across the wave, Our distant home discerning. [Refrain] 3 Should coming days be dark and cold, We will not yield to sorrow, For hope will sing with courage bold, "There's glory on the morrow." [Refrain] 4 Let storms of woe in whirlwinds rise, Each chord on earth to sever, There--bright and joyous in the skies-- There is our home forever. [Refrain] Amen. Used With Tune: SHINING SHORE

When shall sweet friendship glow Changeless forever? Where joys celestial thrill, Where bliss each heart shall fill, And fears of parting chill, Never--no, never! 3 Up to that world of light, Take us, dear Saviour; May we all there unite, Happy forever: Where kindred spirits dwell, There may our music swell, And time our joys dispel, Never--no, never! 4 Soon shall we meet again-- Meet ne'er to sever; Soon will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever; Our hearts will then repose Secure from worldly woes; Our songs of praise shall close Never--no, never! Amen. Used With Tune: UNITY
