O happy is the man who hears

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Old Age Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears Instruction's warning voice; And who celestial Wisdom makes His early, only choice. 2 For she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold; And her rewards more precious are Than all their stores of gold. 3 In her right hand she holds to view A length of happy days; Riches, with splendid honours joined, Are what her left displays. 4 She guides the young with innocence, In pleasure's paths to tread, A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head. 5 According as her labours rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

Warner, 1820-1915 Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: Old Age First Line: We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus; the great Rock Foundation Whereon our feet were set by sov'reign grace; Nor life, nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus; sense is all too binding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away. We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay. 4 We would see Jesus; this is all we're needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night. Amen. Used With Tune: CONSOLATION (Mendelssohn)

"Nearer"

Author: Phoebe Cary Appears in 720 hymnals Topics: Old Age; Old Age First Line: One sweetly solemn thought Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, Nearer my home, to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before. Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be; Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 2 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light 3 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink, And I, to-day, are nearer home, Nearer than now I think. Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death.
