The time is near when Zion's sons
Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 The time is near when Zion's sons,
With rapturous joy shall sing the song
Foretold by seers anointed ones:
We have a city great and strong,
We have a city great and strong.
2 Open, ye gates! The glorious King
Approaches with a holy throng;
Open, ye gates! Saints, angels, sing
On golden harps the victor's song!
3 O righteous nation! enter in,
That kept the law of truth below,
Enter the place, all free from sin,
Where life's pure waters gently flow.
4 Within these walls shall they remain,
Who trusted, mighty Lord! in thee:
Death, their last enemy, is slain;
They have a right to life's fair tree. Used With Tune: ANVERN

There is a place of sacred rest
Author: Anon. Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a place of sacred rest,
Far, far beyond the skies,
Where beauty smiles eternally,
And pleasure never dies;
My Father's house, my heavenly home,
Where many mansions stand,
Prepared, by hands divine, for all
Who seek the better land.
2 When tossed upon the waves of life,
With fear on every side,
When fiercely howls the gathering storm,
And foams the angry tide,
Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom,
Breaks forth the light of morn,
Bright beaming from my Father's house,
To cheer the soul forlorn.
3 In that pure home of tearless joy
Earth's parted friends shall meet,
With smiles of love that never fade,
And blessedness complete.
There, there adieus are sounds unknown;
Death frowns not on that scene,
But life and glorious beauty shine,
Untroubled and serene. Used With Tune: OAKLEY

In the realm of eternal years.
Chorus:
They shall shine as the sun,
All they who their Master obey;
They shall shine as the sun,
With Jesus thro' endless day.
2 Stand firm, fainting heart, be brave in the right,
The helmet of faith you should wear;
By the sword of his word and the power of his might,
God will help you the cross to bear. [Chorus]

Like music I cannot describe;
I may shine as the sun if I only draw near
To the Lamb who on Calv'ry died. [Chorus]

Beautiful Zion, built above

Beautiful city that I love,
Beautiful gates of pearly white,
Beautiful temple, God its light,

Beautiful fruit they always bear,
Beautiful rivers gliding by,
Beautiful fountains never dry,
3 Beautiful light without the sun,
Beautiful day revolving on,
Beautiful worlds on worlds untold,
Beautiful streets of shining gold,
4 Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Beautiful palms the conquerors show,
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there,
5 Beautiful throne of God, the Lamb,
Beautiful seats at his right hand,
Beautiful rest, all wanderings cease,
Beautiful home of perfect peace. Used With Tune: BEAUTIFUL ZION

Which mortals have never yet seen,
I'll sing you a song of a country
Whose valleys forever are green;
Whose murmuring streamlets and fountains
The ransomed ones soon shall behold,
The glorious light of whose mountains
No tongue has ever yet told.
Chorus:
The half has never been told,
The half has never been told;
O, wonderful kingdom of glory!

The Saviour has gone to prepare;
I'll sing of the noontide of glory
That lingers eternally there;

I'll sing of the streets of pure gold:
Tho' thousands have sung of these glories,
The half has never been told. [Chorus]
3 I'll sing you a song of the loved ones
We'll meet on those beautiful plains,
Where sorrow and death cannot enter,
Where friendship forevermore reigns;
I'll sing of the life that's unending,
Of songs that shall never grow old,
Whose heavenly harmonies blending,
Are robed in beauty untold. [Chorus]
4 But hark! there is something more precious
Than all of these pleasures so rare,
The hope of beholding my Saviour,
The promise of knowing him there
Who trod the rough, pathway before us
Those portals of bliss to unfold
Who suffered and died to restore us;
His love can never be told. [Chorus]

I'm On the Way to Glory
O tell me of heaven, sweet heaven
Author: Sarah M. Swan Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 O tell me of heaven, sweet heaven,
The home of the pure and the blest,
Where sorrow and sin cannot enter,
Where the weary forever shall rest.
Let me hear of that heavenly city,
Where all is immortal and fair;
And I'll flee from all earthly enchantments,
And earnestly long to be there,
And earnestly long to be there.
2 Let others seek earthly possessions,
And lay up their treasures below;
I have heard of a land that is better,
And to seek it with ardor I'll go.
I have heard of a world robed in glory,
And freed from temptation and care,
Where sickness and death may not enter,
And I long, O, I long to be there.
3 Ambition may spread her bright phantoms,
And whisper of honor and fame,
She may lure on her thousands to labor,
To win an illustrious name;
Be this my ambition, to follow
The path my Redeemer has trod,
Be an heir of his heavenly kingdom,
And dwell in the city of God.
4 Though the way of the wicked may prosper,
And be sprinkled with flowers so gay,
Though wide be the path that they travel,
And pleasant and easy the way,
Though no troubles their pathway encompass,
Triumphant through life though they go,
I'll envy them not, for their journey
Ends only in sorrow and woe.
5 Let me enter the gate that is narrow,
The way that with danger is spread,
And though rugged and dark be my pathway,
One bright ray is over it shed;
For I hear the sweet voice of my Saviour,
Saying, "Fear not, for I am thy God;
I know thy temptations and trials,
For I the rough pathway have trod."
6 Dear Saviour, thy promise is precious,
Thy guidance I evermore crave:
O help me to walk in thy footsteps,
And trust in thy power to save:
O give me a place in thy kingdom,
When life with its turmoil is o'er;
Let me dwell with the King in his beauty,
And I ask, O, I ask for no more. Used With Tune: TELL ME OF HEAVEN
O tell me of heaven, sweet heaven
Heav'n at last, heav'n at last

Refrain:
Heav'n at last, heav'n at last;
O, the joyful story of heav'n at last!
Heav'n at last, heav'n at last;
Endless, boundless glory,
In heav'n at last.
2 On the jasper threshold standing,
Like a pilgrim safely landing,
See the strange bright scene expanding;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus]
3 Softest voices, silver pealing,
Freshest fragrance, spirit healing,
Happy hymns around us stealing;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus]
4 Not a teardrop ever falleth,
Not a pleasure ever palleth,
Song to song forever calleth;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus]
5 Christ, himself, the living splendor,
Christ the sunlight, mild and tender;
Praises to the Lamb we render;
Ah, 'tis heav'n at last! [Chorus] Scripture: Revelation 21:4 Used With Tune: HEAVEN AT LAST

The sands of time are sinking
Author: Annie R. Cousin Appears in 324 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn, awakes,
Dark, dark has been the midnight;
But dayspring is at hand:
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 I've wrestled on to'ard heaven,
'Gainst storm and wind and tide;
Now, like a weary trav'ler
That leaneth on his guide,
Amid the shades of evening,
While sinks life's ling'ring sand,
I hail the glory dawning,
From Immanuel's land,
I hail the glory dawning,
From Immanuel's land.
3 Deep waters crossed life's pathway,
The hedge of thorns was sharp;
Now these lie all behind me;
O for a well-tuned harp!
O for the "hallelujah,"
With yon triumphant band!
Who sing where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land,
Who sing where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land. Scripture: Isaiah 35:1-2 Used With Tune: IMMANUEL'S LAND
The sands of time are sinking
