Glory to God that walks the Sky
Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Paradise on Earth Lyrics: 1 Glory to God that walks the Sky,
And sends his Blessings through;
That tells his Saints of Joys on high,
And gives a Taste below.
[2 Glory to God, that stoops his Throne,
That Dust and Worms may see't,
And brings a Glimpse of Glory down
Around his sacred Feet.
3 When Christ, with all his Graces crown'd,
Sheds his kind Beams abroad,
'Tis a young Heav'n on earthly Ground,
And Glory in the Bud.
4 A blooming Paradise of Joy
In this wild Desart springs;
And ev'ry Sense I strait employ
On sweet celestial Things.
5 White Lilies all around appear,
And each his Glory shews;
The Rose of Sharon blossoms here,
The fairest Flow'r that blows.
6 Chearful I feast on heav'nly fruit,
And drink the Pleasures down,
Pleasures that flow hard by the Foot
Of the Eternal Throne.]
7 But ah! how soon my Joys decay,
How soon my Sins arise,
And snatch the heav'nly Scene away
From these lamenting Eyes!
8 When shall the Time, dear Jesus, when
The shining Day appear,
That I shall leave those Clouds of Sin,
And Guilt and Darkness here?
9 Up to the Fields above the Skies
My hasty Feet would go,
There, everlasting Flow'rs arise,
And Joys unwith'ring grow.
Glory to God that walks the Sky

Make haste to bring thy nature in,
And perfect us in love.
3 The counsel of thy love fulfill,
Come quickly, gracious Lord!
Be it according to thy will,
According to thy word.
4 Oh, that the perfect grace were given,
The love diffused abroad!
Oh, that our hearts were all a heaven,
For ever filled with God!
O Jesus, at thy feet we wait

We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
yet all are one within your great design.

My Life Flows On
Author: Robert Lowry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song;
above earth’s lamentation,
I hear the sweet, though far off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing:
It finds an echo in my soul --
how can I keep from singing?
2 What though my joys and comforts die?
My Saviour still is living.
What though the shadowss gather round?
A new song Christ is giving.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I'm clinging:
since Love commands both heaven and earth,
how can I keep from singing?
3 When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,
and hear their death knells ringing:
when friends rejoice both far and near,
how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging:
when friends by shame are undefiled,
how can I keep from singing?
4 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
and day by day this pathway smooths,
since first I learned to love it.
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
a fountain ever springing:
all things are mine since I am Christ's --
how can I keep from singing? Used With Tune: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING

A Little Child the Saviour Came
Author: William Robertson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came,
the mighty God was still his name,
and angels worshipped as he lay
the helpless infant of a day.
2 He who, a little child, began
the life divine to show God's plan
proclaims from heaven the message free,
"Let little children come to me."
3 We bring them now, and in your name
the saving love of Christ proclaim.
Through living water, grace endow;
baptize them with your Spirit now.
4 O God, who by an infant's tongue
can hear your perfect glory sung,
may these with all the heavenly throng,
praise you: Creator, Spirit, Son. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

thou in me dwelling, and I one with thee.

be thou my dignity, thou my delight,
thou my soul's shelter, thou my high tower;
raise thou my heavenward, O power of my power.

thou mine inheritance, now and always;
thou and thou only, first in my heart,
great God of heaven, my treasure thou art.

may I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun!

still be my vision, O ruler of all. Used With Tune: SLANE Text Sources: Irish, ca. 8th century
