The Homeland! O the Homeland!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #562 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Lyrics: 1 The Homeland! O the Homeland! The land of souls free born! No gloomy night is known there, But aye the fadeless morn: I’m sighing for that Country, My heart is aching here; There is no pain in the Homeland, To which I'm drawing near. 2 My Lord is in the Homeland, With angels bright and fair; No sinful thing nor evil, Can ever enter there; The music of the ransomed Is ringing in my ears, And when I think of the Homeland, My eyes are wet with tears. 3 For loved ones in the Homeland Are waiting me to come Where neither death nor sorrow Invade their holy home: O dear, dear native Country! O rest and peace above! Christ bring us all to the Homeland Of His eternal love. Topics: Heaven Languages: English

I'm but a stranger here

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #563 (1918) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 I'm but a stranger here, Heav'n is my home; Earth is a desert drear, Heav'n is my home; Danger and sorrow stand Round me on every hand; Heav'n is my fatherland, Heav'n is my home. 2 What though the tempest rage, Heav'n is my home; Short is my pilgrimage, Heav'n is my home; And time's wild wintry blast Soon shall be over-past; I shall reach home at last, Heav'n is my home. 3 There at my Savior's side, Heav'n is my home; I shall be glorified, Heav'n is my home; There are the good and blest, Those I love most and best; And there I, too, shall rest, Heav'n is my home. 4 Therefore I murmur not, Heav'n is my home; Whate'er my earthly lot, Heav'n is my home, And I shall surely stand There at my Lord's right hand; Heav'n is my fatherland, Heav'n is my home.

There is an hour of peaceful rest

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #564 (1918) Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, To mourning wanderers given; There is a joy for souls distressed, A balm for every wounded breast: ’Tis found above--in heaven. 2 There is a soft, a downy bed, 'Tis fair as breath of even; A couch for weary mortals spread Where they may rest the aching head, And find repose--in heaven. 3 There is a home for weary souls, By sin and sorrow driven,-- When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals, Where storms arise and ocean rolls, And all is drear--but heaven. 4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye, To brighter prospects given; And views the tempest passing by, The evening shadows quickly fly, And all serene--in heaven. 5 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom, And joys supreme are given; There rays divine disperse the gloom; Beyond the confines of the tomb Appears the dawn of heaven!

A slumber I know, in Jesus' name

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #565 (1918) Meter: 9.8.6.1 Lyrics: 1 A slumber I know, in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth tenderly takes my weary frame, to sleep till the blissful morrow; In heaven my soul with God abides, Forgotten are cares and trials. 2 An even I know, serene and blest, And oft is my spirit longing, When, weary and worn, it finds no rest, While woes on the way are thronging,-- Oft longing to see the journey's end, And rest in a blissful slumber. 3 A morning I know, so bright and fair, When tidings of joy shall wake us, When anthems from high shall fill the air, And God to His glory take us, when Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of awaking! 4 Oh, dear is that morning fair to me! And oft, o'er the mountains beaming, In spirit its heavenly light I see, As golden the peaks are gleaming-- For joy I must sing, as birds at dawn Their carols in lofty lindens. 5 The Savior then comes unto our graves; His mighty command is given; Then break from the deep the ocean waves, Each tomb and restraint is riven. All earth hears the cry: Ye dead, come forth! In glory we go to meet Him. Topics: Heaven Languages: English

Yes, there remaineth still a rest!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #566 (1918) Meter: 8.10.1 Lyrics: 1 Yes, there remaineth still a rest! Arise, sad heart, that darkly pines, By heavy care and pain opprest, On whom no sun of gladness shines; Look to the Lamb! in yon bright fields Thou'lt know the joy His presence yields; Cast off thy load and thither haste; Soon shalt thou fight and bleed no more, Soon, soon thy weary course be o'er, And deep the rest thou then shalt taste. 2 The rest appointed thee of God, The rest that naught shall break or move, That ere this earth by man was trod Was set apart for thee by love. Our Savior gave His life to win This rest for thee; O enter in! Here how His voice sounds far and wide, Ye weary souls, no more delay, Loiter not faithless by the way, Here in my peace and rest abide! 3 Ye heavy-laden, come to Him! Ye who are bent with many a load, Come from your prisons drear and dim, Toil thus not sadly on your road! Ye've borne the burden of the day, And hear ye not the Savior say: "I am your refuge and your rest"? His children ye, of heavenly birth, Howe'er may rage sin, hell, or earth, Here are ye safe, here calmly blest. 4 O what contentment fills the breast Of wanderers through the desert plains, If thy have found a place to rest, To quench their thirst and cure their pains! How welcome is an humble bed, Where they may rest their weary head, To persons that are sick and sore! Such hours of sweet repose soon fly, But there remains a rest on high Where we shall rest forevermore. 5 Yonder in joy the sheaves we bring, Whose seed was sown on earth in tears; There in our Father's house we sing The song too sweet for mortal ears. Sorrow and sighing all are past, And pain and death are fled at last; There with the Lamb of God we dwell, He leads us to the crystal river, He wipes away all tears forever; What there is ours no tongue can tell. 6 Nor thirst nor hunger pains us there, The time of recompense is come, Nor cold nor scorching heat we bear, Safe sheltered in our Savior's home. The Lamb is in the midst; and those Who followed Him through shame and woes, Are crowned with honor, joy, and peace. The dry bones gather life again, One Sabbath over all shall reign, Wherein all toil and labor cease. 7 There is untroubled calm and light, No gnawing care shall mar our rest; Ye weary, heed this word aright; Come, lean upon your Savior's breast. Fain would I linger here no more, Fain to yon happier world upsoar, And join that bright expectant band. O raise, my soul, the joyful song That rings through yon triumphant throng; Thy perfect rest is nigh at hand. Topics: Heaven Languages: English

"Forever with the Lord!"

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #567 (1918) 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 fore-seeing 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!" Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"
