Bright myriads, thronging, come; The cherub band rejoices, And loud seraphic voices All welcome Jesus home. 3 Our place he is preparing; To heav'n we, too, shall rise, With him his glory sharing, Be where our Treasure lies.

There is a land immortal

Author: George MacKellar Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Heaven Anticipated Lyrics: 1 There is a land immortal, The beautiful of lands, Beside its ancient portal A silent sentry stands; He only can undo it, And open wide the door; And mortals who pass through it, Are mortal nevermore. 2 Though dark and drear the passage That leadeth to the gate, Yet grace attends the message, To souls that watch and wait: And at the time appointed A messenger comes down, And guides the Lord's anointed From cross to glory's crown. 3 Their sighs are lost in singing, They're blessèd in their tears; Their journey heavenward winging, They leave on earth their fears: Death like an angel seemeth; "We welcome thee," they cry; Their face with glory beameth-- 'Tis life for them to die! Amen. Used With Tune: CASKEY

And round me Thy brightness be pour'd; I shall meet Him whom absent I loved, I shall see Whom unseen I adored. 6 And then, never more shall the fears, The trials, temptations, and woes, Which darken this valley of tears, Intrude on my blissful repose.

Sacred Stillness

Author: B. E. W. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Anticipation First Line: In the twilight's sacred stillness Lyrics: 1 In the twilight’s sacred stillness, Where our kindred spirits blend, We with glad anticipation Wait that life which hath no end. Here we sit in meditation Of God’s awful words to man— “Dust thou art, to dust returnest”— This the order of his plan. 2 All this life is but a shadow, Only earthly things we see; Rippling stream and verdant meadow Waken tho’ts of praise in me. Thus the earth is robed in beauty, Sparkling jewels she doth wear; But the Lord’s transcendent glory We shall see when over there. 3 Blessed tho’t, ‘tis so transporting— As we lay these bodies down, We shall rise on wings immortal And receive a golden crown.— Free indeed thro’ his salvation, Free from trouble, grief and pain, Free at last from all temptation, Free, with Christ fore’er to reign. Used With Tune: [In the twilight's sacred stillness]
