I Shall Be Satisfied
Author: F. E. B. Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: Soul amid earth sorrows dwelling Refrain First Line: I shall be satisfied then Lyrics: 1. Soul amid earth sorrows dwelling,
Sighing for the strife to cease,
Lo! the promise sweet foretelling
Soon shall come the Prince of Peace.
Chorus:
I shall be satisfied then,
I shall be satisfied then;
When the King of kings, with angels attending,
Rends the azure sky, in glory descending,
When the saints awake in his own likeness,
I shall be satisfied then.
2. Saddened by the world's complaining,
Burdened with the ceaseless care,
Tell me! is there rest remaining
For the toilers over there? [Chorus]
3. Patient wait God's time for going,
Murmur not though long thy stay,
Ever trusting, ever knowing
Thou shalt dwell with him some day. [Chorus]
4. Born of God, the soul can never
Willing here with sin abide;
Earth is not the glad forever
Where the soul is satisfied. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Soul amid earth sorrows dwelling]

Waiting and Watching
Author: S. M. H. Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: We know not the time when He cometh Lyrics: 1. We know not the time when He cometh,
At even, or midnight, or morn;
It may be at deepening twilight,
It may be at earliest dawn.
He bids us to watch and be ready,
Nor suffer our lights to grow dim;
That when He shall come, He may find us,
All waiting and watching for Him.
Chorus:
Waiting and watching,
Waiting and watching;
Waiting and watching,
Still waiting and watching for Thee.
2. I think of His wonderful pity,
The price our salvation hath cost;
He left the bright mansions of glory
To suffer and die for the lost.
And sometimes I think it will please Him,
When those whom He died to redeem,
Rejoice in the hope of His coming
By waiting and watching for Him. [Chorus]
3. O Jesus, my loving Redeemer,
Thou knowest I cherish as dear
The hope that mine eyes shall behold Thee,
That I shall thine own welcome hear!
If to some as a Judge thou appearest,
Who forth from Thy presence would feel,
A Friend most beloved I'll greet Thee,
I'm waiting and watching for Thee. [Chorus]
Used With Tune: [We know not the time when He cometh]

And the millions that sleep in the mighty deep
Shall live on this earth once more. [Chorus]

Bound for the evergreen shore,

Under our Saviour's command;
And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave,
For Jesus will bring us to land. [Chorus]

Nothing can baffle his skill;
And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls,
Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus]

Send not a glimmering ray,
Then the light of his countenance, brighter than noon,
Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus]

Fearfully overhead break;
There is One by our side that can comfort and save,
There is One who will never forsake. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We have joyously voyaging over the main]

Heir of the Kingdom
Author: Anon. Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: Heir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber? Lyrics: 1 Heir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber?
Why art thou sleeping so near thy blest home?
Wake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor,
Speed, for the moments are hurrying on.
2 Earth's mighty nations, in strife and commotion,
Tremble with terror, and sink in dismay;
Listen, 'tis naught but the chariot's loud rumbling;
Heir of the kingdom, no longer delay.
3 Stay not, O stay not for earth's vain allurements!
See how its glory is passing away;
Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o'er thee;
Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away.
4 Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted;
Watch for the glory of earth's coming King;
Lo! o'er the mountaintops light is now breaking;
Heir of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing. Used With Tune: RODMAN

The Bright Forever
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: Breaking thro' the clouds that gather Refrain First Line: On the banks beyond the river Lyrics: 1. Breaking thro' the clouds that gather
O'er the Christian's natal skies,
Distant beams, like floods of glory,
Fill the soul with glad surprise;
And we almost hear the echo
Of the pure and holy throng,
In the bright, the bright forever,
In the summer land of song.
Chorus:
On the banks beyond the river
We shall meet, no more to sever;
In the bright, the bright forever,
In the summer land of song.
2. Yet a little while we linger
Ere we reach our journey's end;
Yet a little while of labor,
Ere the ev'ning shades descend;
Then we'll lay us down to slumber,
But the night will soon be o'er;
In the bright, the bright forever,
We shall wake, to weep no more. [Chorus]
3. O the bliss of life eternal!
O the long unbroken rest!
In the golden fields of pleasure,
In the region of the blest;
But, to see our dear Redeemer,
And before his throne to fall,
There to hear his gracious welcome,
Will be sweeter far than all. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Breaking thro' the clouds that gather]

Place of Sacred Rest
Author: Anon. Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: There is a place of sacred rest Lyrics: 1. There is a place of sacred rest,
Far, far beyond the skies,
Where beauty smiles eternally,
And pleasure never dies;
My Father's house, my heav'nly home,
Where many mansions stand,
Prepared, by hands divine, for all
Who seek the better land.
2. When tossed upon the waves of life,
With fear on ev'ry side,
When fiercely howls the gath'ring storm
And foams the angry tide,
Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom,
Breaks forth the light of morn,
Bright beaming from my Father's house,
To cheer the soul forlorn.
3. In that pure home of tearless joy
Earth's parted friends shall meet,
With smiles of love that never fade,
And blessedness complete.
There, there adieus are sounds unknown;
Death frowns not on that scene,
But life and glorious beauty shine,
Untroubled and serene. Used With Tune: OAKLEY

What Shall the Harvest Be?
Author: Emily S. Oakley Appears in 137 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Harvest Time First Line: Sowing the seed by the daylight fair Refrain First Line: Sown in the darkness or sown in the light Lyrics: 1 Sowing the seed by the daylight fair,
Sowing the seed by the noonday glare,
Sowing the seed by the fading light,
Sowing the seed in the solemn night.
Chorus:
Sown in the darkness or sown in the light,
Sown in our weakness or sown in our might;
Gathered in time or eternity,
Sure, ah! sure will the harvest be.
2 Sowing the seed by the wayside high,
Sowing the seed on the rocks to die,
Sowing the seed where the thorns will spoil,
Sowing the seed in the fertile soil. [Chorus]
3 Sowing the seed of a ling'ring pain,
Sowing the seed of a maddened brain,
Sowing the seed of a tarnished name,
Sowing the seed of eternal shame. [Chorus]
4 Sowing the seed with an aching heart,
Sowing the seed while the teardrops start,
Sowing in hope till the reapers come
Gladly to gather the harvest home. [Chorus]
Used With Tune: [Sowing the seed by the daylight fair]
What Shall the Harvest Be?
