I am bound for the promised land
Author: Samuel Stennett (1727-95) Appears in 1,387 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come First Line: On Jordan's stormy banks I stand Lyrics: 1 On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wistful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Refrain:
I am bound for the promised land,
I’m bound for the promised land;
O who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
2 That bright, transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight,
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
3 There generous fruits that never fail,
On trees immortal grow;
There rocky hills, and brooks and vales,
With milk and honey flow.
4 O’er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There God, the Son, forever reigns
And scatters night away.
5 Soon will the Lord my soul prepare
For joys beyond the sky,
Where never-ceasing music rolls,
And praises never die.
I am bound for the promised land
While the light from Heaven is falling
Author: Lucy Milward Booth-Hellberg (1868-1953) Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come First Line: Sins of years are all numbered Lyrics: 1 Sins of years are all numbered,
Blackest stains brought to light,
Broken pledges uncovered,
None escape from his sight.
Unwashed hearts are rejected,
Guilty souls rise alone,
When you stand in the light
Of his great judgment throne.
Refrain:
While the light from Heaven is falling,
Sins reproving, wants revealing,
While redeeming grace is flowing,
He can wash your sins away.
2 All the past with its chances,
All the ‘what might have been’,
Each encounter with evil
He had meant you should win;
How you’ll wish you’d gone forward,
Loving Jesus alone,
When you stand in the light
Of his great judgment throne!
3 Ransomed sinners of all kinds,
Trembling followers as well,
With their robes surely blood-washed,
They shall come forth to tell
Of the battles fought bravely,
Of the victories won,
As they stand in the light
Of his great judgment throne.
While the light from Heaven is falling
When our fighting here is over
Author: Arthur Bovan (c 1870-1903) Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come First Line: There's a crown laid up in Glory Lyrics: 1 There's a crown laid up in Glory,
There’s a robe for each to wear,
And we never need be sorry
That we did life’s troubles share;
For our crown will shine the brighter
For the battles we have won,
And our robes will be the whiter
When our travelling days are done.
Refrain:
When our fighting here is over,
And our victories are all won,
There’s a mansion up in Glory
When our travelling days are done.
2 There’s a golden harp in Glory,
There’s a welcome for the true,
There’s a rest for all the weary,
There’s a victor’s palm for you.
O we’ll praise the Lamb for ever
When we stand before his throne,
And our joys will end, no never,
When our travelling days are done!
3 There will be no room for sadness,
There will be no sorrow there,
And unceasing songs of gladness
Shall for ever fill the air;
There will be no death, no weeping
In that land, and evermore
We shall dwell in Jesus’ keeping
When our travelling days are o’er.
When our fighting here is over
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there

And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair,
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Refrain:
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
2 On that bright and cloudless morning, when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of his resurrection share,
When his chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
3 Let us labour for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us tell of all his wondrous love and care;
Then, when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, we’ll be there.
When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there

Above the ills and cares of life,
Where all is peaceful, bright and fair,
My home is there, my home is there.
Refrain:
My beautiful home, my beautiful home,
In the land where the glorified ever shall roam,
Where angels bright wear crowns of light,
My home is there, my home is there.
2 Away from sorrow, doubt and pain,
Away from worldly loss and gain,
From all temptation, tears and care,
My home is there, my home is there.
3 Beyond the bright and pearly gates,
Where Jesus, loving Saviour, waits,
Where all is peaceful, bright and fair,
My home is there, my home is there.
My beautiful home, my beautiful home

They'll sing their welcome home to me
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748); Robert Lowry (1826-99) Appears in 521 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come First Line: Give me the wings of faith to rise Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise
Within the veil, and see
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.
Refrain:
They’ll sing their welcome home to me;
And the angels will stand
On the hallelujah strand,
And sing me a welcome home.
2 Once they were mourners here below
And poured out cries and tears;
They wrestled hard, as we do now,
With sins and doubts and fears.
3 I ask them whence their victory came;
They, with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
Their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod;
His zeal inspired their breast;
And, following their incarnate God,
Possess the promised rest.
5 Our glorious leader claims our praise
For his own pattern given,
While the long cloud of witnesses
Shows the same path to Heaven.
They'll sing their welcome home to me
We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion
Author: William James Pearson (1832-92); Robert Lowry (1826-99) Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come First Line: To leave the world below Lyrics: 1 To leave the world below,
March upward with our band,
And step by step we mean to go
To Zion’s happy land.
Refrain:
We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching onward to Zion, that beautiful city of God.
2 The city we shall see,
The heavenly music hear,
Marching to songs of victory,
With all the Army there.
3 The pearly gates are wide,
The streets are bright and fair;
We’ll march together, side by side,
Till safely landed there.
4 Beside the crystal stream,
Led on by Zion’s King,
We’ll swell the great salvation theme
And songs of victory sing.
5 With blood and fire unfurled
We march to victory grand;
The Army means to lead the world
To Zion’s happy land.
We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion
