Peace at last

Author: Eden R. Latta Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: Blest assurance ever dear Refrain First Line: Peace at last, peace at last Lyrics: 1 Blest assurance ever dear, As our troubles come so fast, How it does the spirit cheer To be promised peace at last. Chorus: Peace at last, peace at last, When our sorrows all are past, And 'tis coming, oh, how fast Peace at last, peace at last, Tis coming, coming, Peace at last. 2 Tho' by sorrow's dismal cloud, Be our pathway over cast, Thro' the Saviour's precious blood, We are promised peace at last. [Chorus] 3 We can stand the driving rains, We can hide the cutting blast, While the promise still remains, Of unbroken peace at last. [Chorus] 4 To the kingdom of the skies, When our pilgrimage is past, We on spirit wings shall rise, And abide in peace at last. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Blest assurance ever dear]

One by one

Author: Mrs. Loula K. Rogers Appears in 55 hymnals First Line: They're gathering homeward from ev'ry land Refrain First Line: Gath'ring home, gath'ring home Lyrics: 1 They're gathering homeward from ev'ry land, One by one, one by one; As weary, their feet touch the shining strand; Yes, one by one. Their brows are enclosed in a golden crown; Their travel-stained garments are all laid down, And clothed in white raiment, they rest in the mead Where Jesus doth love his saints to lead. Chorus: Gath'ring home, gath'ring home, Crossing the river one by one; Gath'ring home, gath'ring home; Yes, one by one. 2 Ere resting they pass thro' the toil and strife, One by one, one by one; Thro' waters of death ere they enter life; Yes, one by one. To come are the floods of the river still, While wending their way to the heav'nly hill, To others the waves o'erflow fiercely and wild, But rest will be giv'n the undefiled. [Chorus] 3 And we, too, shall come to the riverside, One by one, one by one; We're nearer its waters each eventide: Yes, one by one. We hear the great roar of death's chilly stream, Ever and anon thro' life's fev'rish dream, But Jesus will point out the bright, silv'ry strand, And lead us thro' storms to peaceful land. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [They're gathering homeward from ev'ry land]

Open the beautiful gates

Chorus: Open the beautiful gates, Here is a wand'rer that waits, Weary and cold, Out of the fold, Open the beautiful gates. 2 Lov'd ones are leaving us ever, Fading from you and from me, And the dear faces we never, Here in this earth-borne shall see; Heaven's bright sunlight is falling, Over the lov'd one that waits, Angelic voices still calling, Open the beautiful gates, Angelic voices still calling, Open the beautiful gates. [Chorus] 3 Wearily here we now wander, Over the troublesome way, Looking with glad eyes up yonder, To that fair realm of bright day; Keeping the sweetest foreknowing, Of all the bliss that awaits, Hearing this song in our going, Open the beautiful gates, Hearing this song in our going, Open the beautiful gates.
