Leader of faithful souls, and Guide

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 92 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. Used With Tune: DURA

There is a Friend for children

Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: Hope Longing for heaven First Line: There's a Friend for children Lyrics: 1 There is a Friend for children, Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changes, Whose love will never die, Unlike our friends by nature, Who change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy The precious Name He bears. 2 There is a rest for children, Above the bright blue sky, Who love the blessed Saviour, And to the Father cry,-- A rest from every trouble, From sin and danger free; There every little pilgrim Shall rest eternally. 3 There is a home for children, Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare, For every one is happy, Nor can be happier there. 4 And there are crowns for children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look to Jesus Shall wear them by-and-by; Yea, crowns of brightest glory, Which He shall sure bestow, On all who loved the Saviour And walked with Him below. 5 And there are songs for children Above the bright blue sky, And harps of sweetest music For hymns of victory; And all above is pleasure, And found in Christ alone; Lord, grant Thy little children To know Thee as their own.

Min største Hjertens Glæde

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!

Where is the Friend?

Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Hope Longing for heaven First Line: Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? Lyrics: 1 Where is the Friend for whom I'm ever yearning? My longing grows when day to night is turning; And though I find Him not as day recedeth, My heart still pleadeth. 2 I know He's there in every force and power, Where waves the harvest and where blooms the flower; I'm ever in my breath and sighs so burning, His love discerning. 3 When summer winds blow gently, then I hear Him; Where sing the birds, where rush the streams, I'm near Him; But better far when in my heart He blesses Me with caresses. 4 And yet to hide Him oft a cloud prevaileth; My prayer can reach Him, but my vision faileth. Would I could see His face and heart so loving, And cease my roving. 5 Oh, where such beauty is itself revealing In all that lives, through all creation stealing. What must the source be whence it comes, the Giver? Beauty forever. 6 Oh, light and peace, salvation's sparkling fountain, Shall I thy source behold from Zion's mountain? Who brings me to thy rills in rapture plying? A peaceful dying! 7 My soul, be strong! Hope, pray with self-denial! The heavenly Friend submits Himself to trial: So shalt thou find in Him, on Him depending, Mercy unending. 8 Soon, in the harbor, where no waves are breaking, Or like the weary dove her refuge taking, Thou, timorous lamb, shalt by thy Shepherd's favor Find rest for ever.
