Saved by Grace
Weary of earth, and laden with my sin
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look at heav'n and long to enter in;
But there no evil thing may find a home;
And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come."
2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
In the pure glory of that holy land?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way,
Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,
"Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all."
4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
And his the blood that can for all atone
And set me faultless there before the throne.
5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
That in the Father's courts my glorious dress
May be the garment of thy righteousness.
6 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

One sweetly solemn thought
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 705 hymnals Topics: Blessedness future, anticipated; Death anticipation of; Heaven anticipation of Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er;
I am nearer my home to-day
Than e'er I've been before;
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be,
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down,
Nearer leaving the cross of grief,
Nearer gaining the crown.
4 But lying darkly between,
And winding down through the night,
Flows on the deep and unknown stream,
That leads me to the light.
5 Jesus, perfect my trust,
Strengthen my hand of my faith,
And be Thou near me when I stand
Upon the shore of death.
One sweetly solemn thought
Your harps, ye trembling saints
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 356 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints,
Down from the willows take;
Loud to the praise of love divine
Bid ev'ry string awake.
2 Though in a foreign land,
We are not far from home;
And nearer to our house above
We ev'ry moment come.
3 His grace will to the end
Stronger and brighter shine;
Nor present things, nor things to come,
Shall quench the grace divine.
4 When we in darkness walk,
Nor feel the heav'nly flame,
Then is the time to trust our God,
And rest upon his Name.
5 Soon shall our doubts and fears
Subside at his control;
His loving-kindness shall break through
The midnight of the soul.
6 Blest is the man, O God,
That stays himself on thee:
Who wait for thy salvation, Lord,
Shall thy salvation see.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 57:1 Used With Tune: ST. ETHELWALD

Work never can bring weariness,
For work itself is love.

For life is one glad day;
And tears are of those former things
Which all have passed away.

Behold that blessed throng—
All holy is their spotless robe,
All holy in their song!
4 There is no death in heav'n;
For they who gain that shore
Have won their immortality,
And they can die no more.

O lead us safely on,
Till night and grief and sin and death
Are past, and heav'n is won!

Borne in a song to me,
Over the fields of glory,
Over the jasper sea.

Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his gentle breast,
There by his love o'ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.

Safe from corroding care,
Safe from the world's temptations,
Sin cannot harm me there.
Free from the blight of sorrow,
Free from my doubts and fears,
Only a few more trials,
Only a few more tears. [Refrain]
3 Jesus, my heart's dear Refuge,
Jesus has died for me;
Firm on the Rock of Ages
Ever my trust shall be.
Here let me wait with patience,
Wait till the night is o'er,
Wait till I see the morning
Break on the golden shore. [Refrain]

Work, For the Night Is Coming
Author: Anna L. Coghill, 1861 Appears in 1,174 hymnals Topics: Death Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Work, for the night is coming;
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling;
Work 'mid springing flowers;
Work while the day grows brighter,
Under the glowing sun;
Work for the night is coming,
When man's work is done.
2 Work for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon;
Give ev'ry flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
3 Work for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies,
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies;
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work while the night is dark'ning,
When man's work is o'er.
Amen. Scripture: John 9:4 Used With Tune: [Work, for the night is coming]

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
Who knows how near my end may be?
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
My days are gliding swiftly by
