Author: Johan Walther; Hans Sthen Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Longing for Heaven Lyrics: 1 Min største Hjertens Glæde Er mig ny Sommer blid, Som Gud skal selv berede For mig til evig Tid; Ny Jord og Himmel holde Vi vente retnu snart, Da skulle vi faa holde Vor søde Himmelfart. 2 O Herre Krist jeg stunder Alt efter Komme din! Hjælp mig, jeg ikke blunder I Synd, og sovner ind, Men gladelig maa vente I de Aarvaagnes Flok, Der have Lamper tændte Og Lys og Olje nok! 3 Da glædes den, som sukked, O Herre, efter dig, Da faa vi se oplukket Det hele Himmerig, Da vil du høit os hædre Hos dig i Himlens Sal Med alle fromme Fædre Og Helgen uden Tal. 4 De ville os annamme Som sine Søskend smaa, De ville sig ei skamme Jevnsides os at staa; Der faa vi Lov at træde Dig nær til høire Haand, Og takke dig med Glæde, Vor kjære Frelsermand! 5 Der Gud paa Ærens Throne Sin seierrige Hær Vil hilse: Til din Krone Og Krans velkommen vær! Og Jesus selv vil smykke Den Brud, han kaared sig, Da ønsker os til Lykke Det hele Himmerig. 6 Da skal vi høre: Amen, Taksigelse og Pris! Da skal der være Gammen Paa glade Engles Vis; Saa lystelig de sjunge For Lammet og hans Brud, Da raaber hver en Tunge: Nu lovet være Gud! 7 Se, saa vil Gud os finde Og faa fra al vor Nød, Og gjemme godt derinde Fra Djævel, Synd og Død, Fra Sorg og Suk og Klage, Fra Sygdom, sot og Saar, Fra alle onde Dage, Som over Verden gaar. 8 Hvad intet Øre fanget, Hvad intet Øie saa, Hvad aldrig er opganget I noget Hjertes Vraa, Det haver Gud forvaret Til dem, ham elske her, Og bliver aabenbaret Der, Gud i Lyset er. 9 Thi skal I ei forsage, Som nu bær Sorgen stor, Og lider tungsom Plage Paa denne arme Jord! Sig trøste alle Fromme, De Stunder skride fort! Vor Herre snart vil komme, Og tage Sorgen bort. 10 O Herre, for din Ære Før os den rette Sti, Bevar os, Jesus kjære, Thi ellers vildes vi! Hold os i Troen faste I denne Taaredal, Du vil vist ogsaa haste Med os til Himlens Sal!

Jeg er en Fremmed her i Landet

Author: Dorotea Engelbretsdatter Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Longing for Heaven Lyrics: 1 Jeg er en Fremmed her i Landet, Min Fardag ligger i mit Sind, Min Levetid er jammerblandet, Angst-Bølgen driver jevnlig ind; Sent stilles Verdens Trængsel dog, Jeg løses af det Plage-Aag. 2 Min Sjæl, din Uro skal vel lettes, Gud glemmer ikke gammel Pagt, Han lader dig alene trættes Paa denne Vei og Natte-Vagt, At skynde dig med haarde Kaar Fra fremmed Egn til Faders Gaard. 3 Langt borte blidelig han vinker, Hans Ord det søde bud mig bær, Brud'salen fuld af Stjerner blinker, Ak, var jeg allerede der! Ret smart saa ender han min Nød Og Sorg ved en sødsagte Død. 4 Kom, Jesus, naar min Tro er prøvet, Kom hent, hvad dit er, tag imod! Det skal ei blive dig berøvet, Du fæstet mig jo med dit Blod, Jeg længes, naadig Herre, hart, Min Elskede, du kommer snart!

Tænk naar engang den Taage er forsvunden

Author: Wexels Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Longing for Heaven Lyrics: 1 Tænk, naar engang den Taage er forsvunden, Som her sig sænker over Livet ned; Naar dagen evig klar er hist oprunden, Og Lys omstraller hver af mine Fjed! 2 Tænk, naar engang er løsthver jordisk Gaade, Besvaret hvert "Hvorfor", jeg grunded' paa, Men kunde ei med al min Grublen raade, Tænk, naar jeg Herrens Vei skal klart forstaa! 3 Tænk, naar engang hver Hjertesorg er slukket, Hver Vunde lægt, og stillet hvert et Savn, Hver Smertens Taare visket af, og Sukket, Det dybe, svalt i Kjærlighedens Favn! 4 Tænk, naar engang med utildækket Øie Jeg ham skal se, hvem her jeg trode paa, Tænk, naar jeg hist mit Knæ skal for ham bøie, Naar jeg med Tak skal for hans Aasyn staa! 5 Tænk, naar engang jeg, uden Synd skal leve, Hver Tanke ren, hver Gjerning uden Brøst, Naar aldrig jeg behøver mer at bæve For Muligheden af en syndig Lyst! 6 Tænk, naar engang i Himlens gyldne Sale Jeg med den Ven, jeg her paa Jorden fandt, I Lyset om et evigt Liv skal tale Og om det Liv, der som en Drøm forsvandt! 7 Væk, Jesus, denne Tanke i mit Hjerte, Hvergang mig Veien tykkes lang og slem! Den sødt skal dæmpe hver en bitter Smerte Og lokke Smilet gjennem Taarer frem.

Leader of faithful souls, and Guide

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 91 hymnals Topics: Longing For Heaven Lyrics: 1 Leader of faithful souls, and Guide Of all who travel to the sky, Come, and with us, even us, abide, Who would on Thee alone rely; On Thee alone our spirits stay, While held in life's uneven way. 2 Strangers and pilgrims here below, This earth, we know is not our place; But hasten through the vale of woe, And, restless to behold Thy face, Swift to our heavenly country move, Our everlasting home above. 3 We've no abiding city here, But seek a city out of sight; Thither our steady course we steer, Aspiring to the plains of light, Jerusalem, the saints' abode, Whose founder is the living God. 4 Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne, Freely and graciously forgiven, With songs to Zion we return, Contending for our native heaven, That palace of our glorious King, We find it nearer while we sing. 5 Raised by the breath of love divine, We urge our way with strength renewed; The church of the first-born to join, We travel to the mount of God; With joy upon our heads arise, And meet our Captain in the skies.

I will sing you a song of that beautiful land

Appears in 340 hymnals Topics: Hope Longing for heaven 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. 2 Oh, that home of the soul in my visions and dreams, Its bright, jasper walls I can see; Till I fancy but thinly the veil 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 for ever is He, And He holdeth our crowns in His hands. 4 Oh, 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.
