Depth of Mercy

Comfort in Affliction

Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: We may sleep, but not forever Refrain First Line: We may sleep, but not forever Lyrics: 1 We may sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part, no, never, On the resurrection morn. From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless throngs shall rise again. Chorus: We may sleep, but not forever, There will be a glorious dawn; We shall meet to part, no, never, On the resurrection morn. From the deepest caves of ocean, From the desert and the plain, From the valley and the mountain, Countless throngs shall rise again. 2 When we see a precious blossom, That we tended with such care, Rudely taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair. Round the silent grave we linger Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes have perished With the flower we cherished so. [Chorus] 3 We may sleep, but not forever, In the lone and silent grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Blessed be the Lord that gave. In the bright, eternal city Death can never, never come; In his own good time he'll call us From our rest to home, sweet home. [Chorus]

Stand Up for Jesus

Appears in 1,803 hymnals First Line: Stand up, stand up for Jesus Lyrics: 1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Ye soldiers of the cross; Lift high his royal banner, It must not suffer loss: From victory unto victory His army shall he lead, Till every foe is vanquished And Christ is Lord indeed. 2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, The trumpet call obey; Forth to the mighty conflict, In this his glorious day: "Ye that are men now serve him," Against unnumbered foes; Your courage rise with danger, And strength to strength oppose. 3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in his strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you; Ye dare not trust your own: Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, Be ever wanting there.

Cast thy bread upon the waters

Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Ye who have but scant supply, Angel eyes will watch around it; You shall find it by and by; He who in his righteous balance Doth each human action weight Will your sacrifice remember, Will your loving deed repay. 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Poor and weary, worn with care,-- Often sitting in the shadow,-- Have you not a crumb to spare? Can you not to those around you Sing some little song of hope, As you look with longing vision Through faith's mighty telescope? 3 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Ye who have abundant store; It may float on many a billow, It may strand on many a shore; You may think it lost forever, But, as sure as God is true, In this life or in the other, It will yet return to you.

Oh, How Happy Are They

Appears in 707 hymnals Lyrics: OH, how happy are they Who the Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasures above; Tongue can never express The sweet comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2 That sweet comfort was mine, When the favor divine I received thro' the blood of the Lamb; When my heart first believed, What a joy I received-- What a heaven in Jesus' name! 3 'Twas a heaven below My Redeemer to know, And the angels could do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus, all the day long, Was my joy and my song; Oh, that all his salvation might see: He hath loved me, I cried, He hath suffered and died, To redeem even rebels like me. Used With Tune: [Oh, how happy are they]
