To keep us saved in Christ the way,
And trusting Him though billows roll. [Refrain]

And we shall see that home so dear,
From earthly cares forever free. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Tune Title: [Someday we'll cease our toiling there]

As when the weary traveler gains
Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #944 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Heaven in Anticipation Lyrics: 1 As when the weary traveler gains
The height of some o'erlooking hill,
His heart revives, if, 'cross the plains,
He eyes his home, though distant still.
2 So when the Christian pilgrim views,
By faith, his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
3 'Tis there, he says, I am to dwell
With Jesus in the realms of day;
Then shall I bid my cares farewell,
And he will wipe my tears away.
Scripture: Isaiah 33:17

When the mists have rolled away.

Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning
Of that bright and happy day,
We shall know each other better,

With a weary, burdened heart;
Oft we toil amid the shadows,
And our fields are far apart;
But the Savior’s “Come, ye blessed”
All our labor will repay,
When we gather in the morning
Where the mists have rolled away. [Refrain]
3 We shall come with joy and gladness,
We shall gather round the throne;
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known;
And the song of our redemption
Shall resound through endless day,
When the shadows have departed,
And the mists have rolled away. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Tune Title: [When the mists have rolled in splendor]
