To Be There

Author: Elizabeth Mills Appears in 373 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: We speak of the realms of the blest Lyrics: 1. We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confess'd, But what must it be to be there! We speak of its streets of pure gold, Its walls deck'd with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasures untold, But what must it be to be there! 2. We speak of its freedom from sin, From sorrow, temptation and care, From trials without and within, But what must it be to be there! We speak of its service of love, And robes which the glorified wear, The church of the firstborn above, But what must it be to be there! 3. Do Thee, midst temptation and woe, For heaven my spirit prepare, And shortly I also shall know And feel what it is to be there; Then o'er the bright fields we shall roam, In glory celestial and fair, With saints and with angels at home, And Jesus himself will be there.

Long upon the mountains, weary

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home Lyrics: 1 Long upon the mountains, weary. Have the scattered flock been torn; Dark the desert paths, and dreary; Grievous trials have they borne. Now the gath'ring call is sounding, Solemn in its warning voice; Union, faith, and love, abounding, Bid the little flock rejoice. 2 Now the light of truth they're seeking. In its onward track pursue; All the ten commandments keeping, They are holy, just, and true. On the words of life they're feeding, Precious to their taste, so sweet; All their Master's precepts heeding, Bowing humbly at his feet. 3 Soon He comes, with clouds descending; All his saints, entombed, arise; The redeemed, in anthems blending, Shout their vict'ry thro' the skies. O, we long for thine appearing! Come, O Saviour, quickly come! Blessed hope! our spirits cheering, Take thy ransomed children home.

Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love; The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above. [Chorus] 3. And when the morn shall come That ends this night of pain, Thro' grace may I escape the tomb, And life eternal gain; Then knowing "as I'm known," How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Land of Pure Delight

Author: Watts Appears in 1,423 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: There is a land of pure delight Lyrics: 1.

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 foll'wers of the Lamb. 3.
