Hark! Hark, My Soul!
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain Appears in 625 hymnals Topics: Life Everlasting, The; Life in Christ Life Everlasting, The First Line: Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling Refrain First Line: Angels of Jesus, angels of light Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore:
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling,
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.
Refrain:
Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!
2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
"Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come";
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home. [Refrain]
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. [Refrain]
4 Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;
Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. [Refrain]
5 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above,
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. [Refrain]
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 30:5 Used With Tune: PILGRIMS (Smart)

The God of Abraham Praise
Author: Thomas Olivers, 1725-1779 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 459 hymnals Topics: Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 The God of Abr'ham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love.
Jehovah, great I Am!
By earth and heav'n confessed;
I bow and bless the sacred name
Forever blest.
2 The God of Abr'ham praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise and seek the joys
At his right hand.
I all on earth forsake -
Its wisdom, fame, and pow'r -
And him my only portion make,
My shield and tow'r.
3 The God of Abr'ham praise,
Whose all-sufficient grace
Shall guide me all my pilgrim days
In all my ways.
He deigns to call me friend;
He calls himself my God!
And he shall save me to the end
Through Jesus' blood.
4 He by himself has sworn;
I on his oath depend.
I shall, on eagle wings upborne,
To heav'n ascend.
I shall behold his face;
I shall his pow'r adore,
And sing the wonders of his grace
Forevermore.
5 Though nature's strength decay,
And earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way
At his command.
The watery deep I pass,
With Jesus in my view,
And through the howling wilderness
My way pursue.
6 The goodly land I see,
With peace and plenty blest:
A land of sacred liberty,
And endless rest.
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound,
And trees of life forever grow
With mercy crowned.
7 There dwells the Lord our king,
The Lord our righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of Peace.
On Zion's sacred height,
His kingdom he maintains,
And glorious with his saints in light
Forever reigns.
8 Before the great Three-One
They all exulting stand
And tell the wonders he has done
Through all their land.
The list'ning spheres attend
And swell the growing fame
And sing the songs which never end,
The wondrous name.
9 The God who reigns on high
The great archangels sing,
And, "Holy, holy, holy!" cry,
"Almighty King!
Who was, and is, the same,
And evermore shall be:
Jehovah, Father, Great I Am!
We worship thee!"
10 Before the Savior's face
The ransomed nations bow,
O'erwhelmed at his almighty grace
Forever new.
He shows his wounds of love;
They kindle to a flame!
And sound through all the worlds above
The Paschal Lamb.
11 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high.
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!"
They ever cry.
Hail, Abr'ham's God and mine!
I join the heav'nly lays:
All might and majesty are thine
And endless praise! Used With Tune: YIGDAL
