God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826; William Mercer, 1811-1873; Richard Whately, 1787-1863 Hymnal: RitualSong (2nd ed.) #966 (2016) Meter: 8.4.8.4.8.8.8.4 Topics: Heaven Lyrics: 1 God, who made the earth and heaven,
Darkness and light:
You the day for work have given,
For rest the night.
May your angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet your mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us
All through the night.
2 And when morn again shall call us
To run life's way,
May we still, whate'er befall us,
Your will obey.
From the pow'r of evil hide us,
In the narrow pathway guide us,
Never be your smile denied us
All through the day.
3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And, when we die,
May we in your mighty keeping
All peaceful lie.
When the last dread call shall wake us,
Then, O Lord, do not forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With you on high.
4 Holy Father, throned in heaven,
All holy Son,
Holy Spirit, freely given,
Blest Three-in-One:
Grant us grace, we now implore you,
Till we lay our crowns before you,
And in worthier strains adore you
While ages run. Languages: English Tune Title: AR HYD Y NOS
God, Who Made the Earth and Heaven
Death and Heaven: The spirit's farewell to the body after long sickness
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CLXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death And heaven; Heaven Entrance into; God Sight in heaven; Death And heaven; Heaven Entrance into First Line: How am I held a pris'ner now Lyrics: Part I
1 How am I held a pris'ner now,
Far from my God! this mortal chain
Binds me to sorrow: all below
Is short-liv'd ease, or tiresome pain.
2 When shall that wond'rous hour appear,
Which frees me from this dark abode,
To live at large in regions where
Nor cloud nor vail shall hide my God?
3 Farewell this flesh, these ears, these eyes,
These snares and fetters of the mind;
My God! nor let this frame arise,
Till ev'ry dust be will refin'd.
4 Blest Jesus! make my nature whole,
Mould me a body like thy own,
Then shall it better serve my soul,
In works of praise and worlds unknown.
Part II
5 Absent from flesh! O blissful thought!
What unknown joys this moment brings!
Freed from the mischief sin hath wrought,
From pains and tears and all their springs.
6 Absent from flesh! illustrious day!
Surprising scene! triumphant stroe!
That rends the prison of my clay,
And I can feel my fetters broke.
7 Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul!
Where feet or wings could never climb,
Beyond the heav'ns where planets roll,
Measuring the cares and joys of time.
8 I go where God and glory shine;
His presence makes eternal day:
My all that's mortal I resign,
For Jesus waits and points the way
Part III
9 And is this heav'n? and am I there?
How short the road, how swift the fligt!
I am all life, all eye, all ear;
Jesus is here--my soul's delight.
10 Is this the heav'nly friend who hung
In blood and anguish on the tree,
Whom Paul proclaim'd, whom David sung,
Who dy'd for them, who dy'd for me?
11 Lo! he presents me at the throne
All spotless; there the Godhead reigns
Sublime and peaceful through the Son:
Awake, my voice in heav'nly strains.
12 How fair thou blest, eternal word!
Full Godhead shines through all thy face!
Thy death procur'd this blest abode,
Thy vital beams adorn the place!
Part IV
13 Creator God, eternal light,
Fountain of good, tremendous pow'r,
Ocean of wonders, blissful sight,
Beauty and love unknown before!
14 Thy grace, thy nature, all unknown
In yon dark region whence I came,
Where languid glimpses from thy throne,
And feeble whispers taught thy name.
15 I'm in a world where all is new;
Myself, my God, O blest amaze!
Not my best hopes or wishes knew
To form a shadow of this grace.
16 Fix'd on my God my heart adore,
My restless thoughts forbear to rove,
Ye meaner passions stir no more,
But all my pow'rs be joy and love.

To God's feet your tribute bring;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me, God's praise should sing?

Praise the Everlasting King!

To our fathers in distress;
Praise Him, still the same forever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.

Glorious in His faithfulness!

Well our feeble frame He knows;
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
Widely as His mercy flows!
4 Frail as summer's flow'r we flourish,
Blows the wind and it is gone;
But while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on;
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the high eternal One!
5 Angels, help us to adore Him,
You behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him;
Dwellers in all time and space,
Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise with us the God of grace!
Amen.

When We All Get to Heaven
Author: E. E. Hewitt Hymnal: Tabernacle Hymns #51 Topics: Heaven First Line: Sing the wondrous love of Jesus Lyrics: 1 Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed,
He’ll prepare for us a place.

When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory.

Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav’ling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh. [Chorus]
3 Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving ev'ry day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay. [Chorus]
4 Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open,
We shall tread the streets of gold. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Sing the wondrous love of Jesus]

Let earth and heaven agree
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #95 (1917) Topics: Heaven Jesus the joy of; Heaven Jesus the joy of Lyrics: 1 Let earth and heaven agree,
Angels and men be joined,
To celebrate with me
The Saviour of mankind;
To adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesus' name.
2 Jesus, transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven;
No other help is found,
No other name is given
By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.
3 His name the sinner hears,
And is from sin set free;
'Tis music in his ears,
'Tis life and victory;
New songs do now his lips employ,
And dances his glad heart for joy.
4 O unexampled love!
O all-redeeming grace!
How swiftly didst Thou move
To save a fallen race!
What shall I do to make it known
What Thou for all mankind hast done?
5 O for a trumpet voice,
On all the world to call!
To bid their hearts rejoice
In Him who died for all;
For all my Lord was crucified,
For all, for all my Saviour died!
