Forever with the Lord

Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #552 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be. Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him, I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times to faith's foreseeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 Forever with the Lord! O Father, 'tis Thy will. The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail. Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight Thou, and I'll prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall set my spirit free, By death I shall escape from death To endless life with Thee. 8 Knowing as I am known; How shall I love that word And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Behold What Wondrous Grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #697 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Behold what wondrous grace The Father has bestowed On sinners of a mortal race, To call them sons of God! 2. ’Tis no surprising thing That we should be unknown; The Jewish world knew not their King, God’s everlasting Son. 3. Nor doth it yet appear How great we must be made; But when we see our Savior here, We shall be like our Head. 4. A hope so much divine May trials well endure; May purge our souls from sense and sin, As Christ the Lord is pure. 5. If in my Father’s love I share a filial part, Send down Thy Spirit like a dove, To rest upon my heart. 6. We would no longer lie Like slaves beneath the throne; My faith shall Abba, Father, cry, And thou the kindred own. Languages: English Tune Title: SWABIA

Great Giver of All Good

Author: Ann T. Gilbert Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2034 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Great Giver of all good, To Thee our thanks we yield For all the beauties of the wood, Of hill, and dale, and field. 2. Ten thousand various flowers To Thee sweet offerings bear, And joyous birds in woodlands bowers Sing forth Thy tender care. 3. The fields on every side The trees on every hill, The glorious sun, the rolling tide, Proclaim Thy wonders still. 4. But trees, and fields, and skies Still praise a God unknown; For gratitude and love can rise From living hearts alone. 5. These living hearts of ours Thy holy name would bless; The blossoms of the thousand flowers Would please the Savior less. 6. While earth itself decays, Our souls can never die; O tune them all to sing Thy praise In better songs on high. Languages: English Tune Title: SWABIA
