Your harps, ye trembling saints

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 356 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take; Loud to the praise of love divine Bid ev'ry string awake. 2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home; And nearer to our house above We ev'ry moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the grace divine. 4 When we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heav'nly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon his Name. 5 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at his control; His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul. 6 Blest is the man, O God, That stays himself on thee: Who wait for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 57:1 Used With Tune: ST. ETHELWALD

On just yonder, oh, how cheering! Bloom forever Eden’s bow’rs; Hark, the choral strains are ringing, Wafted on the balmy air! See the millions, hear them singing! Soon the pilgrims will be there.
