For those we love within the veil

Author: William Charter Pigott (1872-1943) Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 For those we love within the veil, Who once were comrades of our way, We thank thee, Lord; for they have won To cloudless day. 2 And life for them is life indeed, The splendid goal of earth’s strait race; And where no shadows intervene They see thy face. 3 Free from the fret of mortal years, And knowing now thy perfect will, With quickened sense and heightened joy They serve thee still. 4 O fuller, sweeter is that life, And larger, ampler is the air; Eye cannot see nor heart conceive The glory there! 5 There are no tears within their eyes; With love they keep perpetual tryst; And praise and work and rest are one With thee, O Christ.

There is a happy land

Author: Andrew Young (1807-89) Appears in 614 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 There is a happy land, Far, far away, Where saints in glory stand, Bright, bright as day. O how they sweetly sing: Worthy is our Saviour-King! Loud let his praises ring, Praise, praise for aye. 2 Come to this happy land, Come, come away; Why will you doubting stand, Why still delay? O we shall happy be When, from sin and sorrow free, Lord, we shall live with thee, Blest, blest for aye. 3 Bright in that happy land Beams every eye; Kept by a Father’s hand, Love cannot die. On, then, to glory run; Be a crown and kingdom won, And bright above the sun Reign, reign for aye.

Day of judgment! Day of wonders

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Appears in 345 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment! Day of wonders! Hark the trumpet’s aweful sound. Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons Will the sinner’s heart confound! 2 See the judge, our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for his appearing Then shall say: This God is mine. Gracious Saviour, Own us in that day as thine. 3 Now the powers of nature, shaken At his look, prepare to flee; Souls in sin’s deep sleep must waken, Summoned now his wrath to see; Careless sinner, What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessed, Loved and served the Lord below, He will say: Come near, ye blessèd, See the Kingdom I bestow. You for ever Shall my love and glory know!

Refrain: Some day I’ll see his blessèd face, Some day I’ll see his blessèd face, I’ll hear the music of his voice, Some glad, sweet day. 2 There on the cross he died for me, My soul redeeming; Up from the grave he rose for me, My pardon sealing. Some day I’ll cross old Jordan’s tide, Some day the gates will open wide, Then I shall at his feet abide, My Lord beholding. 3 O’er all the hills and dales of life, With Jesus walking, Amidst the noise of earthly strife, I hear him talking. Some day I’ll cross old Jordan’s tide, Some day the gates will open wide, Then I shall at his feet abide, My Lord beholding.

Over there, over there, O think of the home over there. 2 O think of the friends over there, Who before us the journey have trod; Of the song that they breathe on the air In their home in the palace of God. 3 My Saviour is now over there, Where my kindred and friends are at rest; Then away from my sorrow and care Let me fly to the land of the blest. 4 I’ll soon be at home over there, For the end of my journey I see; Many dear to my heart over there Are waiting and watching for me.
