Heavenward doth our journey tend

Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends.

Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word, E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand, Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord!"

Ei Hunger, Sværd og Lue, Ei Pine, Ve og Værk Fra Jesus mig skal true, Det Baand er alt for stærkt. 11 Ei Englekraft og Evne, Ei Fyrstendømmes Magt, Ei hvad man veed at nævne Af Skjændsel og Foragt, Ei Stort og ei det Ringe, Ei Skade eller Gavn, Ei nogen Ting skal tvinge Mig ud af Jesu Favn. 12 Mit Hjerte lystig springer I Salighedens Trin, Og Frydesangen klinger Ved naadens blide Skin; Den Sol, som Sjælen fryder, Min Jesus straaler frem, Og al min Sang den tyder, At Himlen er mit Hjem.

And for His marriage feast prepare, For ye must go to meet Him there. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is risen, her Light is come! Ah come, Thou blessed Lord, O Jesus, Son of God, Hallelujah! We follow till the halls we see Where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee. 3 Now let all the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal, Of angels round Thy dazzling throne; No eye has seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear What there is ours. But we rejoice, and sing to Thee Our hymns of joy eternally. Used With Tune: WACHET AUF, RUFT UNS DIE STIMME

What are these in bright array

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 378 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 What are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar night and day Hymning one triumphant song? "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honor, glory, power, Wisdom, riches to obtain, New dominion every hour." 2 These through fiery trials trod; These from great affliction came; Now, before the throne of God, Sealed with His Almighty Name, Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Them the Lamb amidst the throne Shall to living fountains lead: Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispels all fears; And for ever from their eyes God shall wipe away the tears.
