Guard Thy Children

Author: Anon. Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: Gracious Father, guard thy children Lyrics: 1 Gracious Father, guard thy children From the foe's destructive pow'r; Save O save them, Lord, from falling In this dark and trying hour.

Keep us, Lord, till thine appearing, Pure, unspotted from the world; Let thy Holy Spirit cheer us Till thy banner is unfurled. Used With Tune: GREENVILLE

The Crowning Day

Author: El. Nathan Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: Our Lord is now rejected Lyrics: 1.

Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. 4. Let all that look for, hasten The coming joyful day, By earnest consecration, To walk the narrow way, By gath'ring in the lost ones, For whom our Lord did die, For the crowning day that's coming by and by. Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by.

My Rest is in Heaven

Author: H. F Lyte Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here Lyrics: 1. My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here. Then why should I tremble when trials are near? Be hush'd, my sad spirit, the worst that can come But shortens my journey, and hastens me home. 2. It is not for me to be seeking my bliss, Nor building my hopes in a region like this; I look for a city that hands have not piled, I pant for a country by sin undefiled. 3. Let doubt, then, and danger, my progress oppose, They only make heaven more sweet at its close; Come joy, or come sorrow, what e'er may befall, An hour with my God will make up for them all.
