Sometime, somewhere
There is a world to come
Author: Anon. Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a world to come,
Blessed and pure;
It is the Christian's home,
Long to endure.
O 'tis a world most bright,
No more death, nor woe, nor night,
Faith views it with delight,
Knowing 'tis sure.
2 There Jesus Christ shall reign,
All glorious King!
There music's rapturous strain
Ever will ring:
Saints, who in ages by,
Suffered, and were called to die,
There in sweet harmony,
Anthems will sing.
3 O, 'twill be paradise,
Eden restored;
All beauteous in their eyes
Who love the word:
Wastes, that are now so drear,
Like the rose shall blossom there,
And be a garden fair,
As saith the Lord.
4 There life's unfading tree
Will bloom most fair,
And immortality
Its leaves shall bear;
While a pure stream will flow,
And a joy no mortals know
Will to each soul bestow
Who enters there.
5 O, that bright world to come!
Tongue cannot tell
How blessed is the home
Where saints will dwell;
Turn then from sin away,
And the word of God obey,
Then at the last great day,
All will be well. Used With Tune: WORLD TO COME
There is a world to come
Beyond this gloomy night
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Beyond this gloomy night
Eternal beauties rise,
A land of love, a land of light,
Unseen by mortal eyes.
2 No cloud those regions know,
Realms ever bright and fair;
For sin, the source of mortal woe,
Can never enter there.
3 O may the prospect fire
Our hearts with ardent love,
Till wings of faith, and strong desire,
Bear every thought above. Used With Tune: SILVER STREET
Beyond this gloomy night
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness
Appears in 254 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.
Bright, o'er thy hills, dawns the day-star of gladness,
Arise, for the night of thy sorrow is o'er.
Chorus:
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness;
Awake for thy foes shall oppress thee no more.
2 Strong were thy foes; but the arm that subdued them,
And scattered their legions, was mightier far;
They fled like the chaff from the scourge that pursued them;
In vain were their steeds and their chariots of war. [Chorus]
3 Daughter of Zion, the power that hath saved thee,
Extolled with the harp and the timbrel shall be:
Shout; for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee,
The oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free. [Chorus] Used With Tune: DAUGHTER OF ZION Text Sources: Fitzgerald's Col

There is a fold whence none can stray

And pastures clothed in living green,
Where sultry sun, or stormy day,
Or gloomy night is never seen.

In God's own glorious light it lies;
His smile its vast dimension fills
With joy divine that never dies. Used With Tune: ANDRE

Shall we know each other?
Author: W. M. Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints First Line: When we hear the music ringing Lyrics: 1 When we hear the music ringing
In the bright celestial dome,
When sweet angel voices, singing,
Gladly bid us welcome home,
To the land of ancient story,
Where the dwellers know no care,
In that land of light and glory,
Shall we know each other there?
Chorus:
Shall we know each other?
Shall we know each other?
Shall we know each other?
Shall we know each other there?
2 When the holy angels meet us,
As we go to join their band,
Shall we know the friends that greet us
In the glorious, happy land?
Shall we see the same eyes shining,
On us as in days of yore?
Shall we feel the same arms twining,
Fondly round us as before? [Chorus]
3 Yes, my earth-worn soul rejoices,
And my weary heart grows light;
For the sweet immortal voices
And th' angelic faces bright
That shall sing with us the story
Of redemption round the throne,
Are with us the heirs of glory,
And we'll know as we are known.
4 O ye weary, sad, and tossed ones!
Droop not, faint not by the way;
Ye shall join the loved and lost ones
In the land of perfect day.
Harp-strings, touched by angel fingers,
Murmur in my raptured ear;
Evermore their sweet song lingers,
"We shall know each other there!" [Chorus] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13 Used With Tune: SHALL WE KNOW EACH OTHER THERE?

Whence came the armies of the sky
Author: Anon. Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Whence came the armies of the sky,
John saw in vision bright?
Whence came their crowns, their robes, their palms,
Too pure for mortal sight?
Chorus:
They looked like men in uniform,
They looked like men of war;
They all were clad in armor bright,
And conquering palms they bore.
2 Were these tried soldiers of the cross
Victorious in the fight?
Were these the trophies they had won,
Reserved in worlds of light? [Chorus]
3 Once they were mourners here below,
And poured out cries and tears;
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins, and doubts, and fears. [Chorus]
4 They saw the star of Bethlehem
Arise in splendor bright;
They followed long its guiding ray,
Till beamed a clearer light. [Chorus]
5 From desert waste, and cities full,
From dungeons dark, they've come,
And now they claim their mansion fair,
They've found their long-sought home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: REMEMBER ME
Whence came the armies of the sky
Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day
Author: Anon. Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day
We lift our hands to God and pray;
But who has ever duly weighed
The meaning of the words he said?
2 Thy kingdom come. O day of joy,
When praise shall every tongue employ;
When hate and strife and war shall cease,
And man with man shall be at peace.
3 Jesus shall reign on Zion's hill,
And all the earth with glory fill;
His word shall Paradise restore,
And sin and death afflict no more.
4 God's holy will shall then be done
By all who live beneath the sun;
For saints shall then as angels be,
All changed to immortality. Used With Tune: ANVERN
Thy kingdom come. Thus day by day
Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard
Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints; Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard,
Nor sense nor reason known
What joys the Father hath prepared
For those that love his Son:
But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals a heaven to come;
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.
2 Pure is the land the saints espy,
And all the region peace;
No wanton lips nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.
Those holy gates forever bar
Pollution, sin, and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb. Used With Tune: VARINA
Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard
