Brief life is here our portion

Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Appears in 249 hymnals Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life is there. 2 O happy retribution! Short toil, eternal rest, For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest. 3 That we should look, poor wanderers To have or home on high! That we should seek for dwellings beyond the starry sky! 4 And now we fight the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. 5 For Thee, O dear, dear Country! Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name, they weep; 6 The mention of thy glory In unction to the breast. And medicine in sickness And love, and life, and rest. 7 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! thou hast no time, bright ay! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! 8 Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ALPHEGE

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 381 hymnals Topics: The Life of the Nations Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, from famished souls, from sorrow's stress, your heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the sweet compassion of your face. 5 O Master, from the mountainside, make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide; O tread the city's streets again; 6 Till all the world shall learn your love, and follow where your feet have trod; till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.
