How happy every child of grace

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-88) Appears in 383 hymnals Topics: The Life to Come Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace Who knows his sins forgiven! This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in Heaven, A country far from mortal sight; Yet, O by faith, I see The land of rest, the saints’ delight, The Heaven prepared for me! 2 A stranger in the world below, I calmly sojourn here; Nor can its happiness or woe Provoke my hope or fear. Its evils in a moment end, Its joys as soon are past; But O the bliss to which I tend Eternally shall last! 3 To that Jerusalem above With singing I repair; While in the flesh, my hope and love, My heart and soul, are there; There my exalted Saviour stands, My merciful high priest, And still extends his wounded hands To me, of saints the least. 4 Then let me joyfully remove That fuller life to share; I shall not lose my friends above, But more enjoy them there. There we in Jesus’ praise shall join, His boundless love proclaim, And sing the everlasting song Of Moses and the Lamb.

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 608 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 342 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.

Refrain: Over there, over there, O think of the home over there. 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.

Refrain: We’re on the homeward trail, we’re on the homeward trail, Singing as we go, going home. We’re on the homeward trail, we’re on the homeward trail, Singing, singing, singing, singing, going home. 2 We are marching on our journey and the trail leads home; We are marching on our journey and the winding trail leads home; Jesus’ feet were bleeding when he took the trail that’s leading To the homeland, to the homeland, for the trail leads home. 3 By and by we’ll strike the valley but the trail leads home; ‘Tis the shadow of the valley but the winding trail leads home; Jesus will be with me when I’m walking through the valley, Through the valley, through the valley, for the trail leads home.
