The Host no Man can Number

Author: H. L. F. Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: A host so vast and numberless Refrain First Line: A throng no man can number Lyrics: 1 A host so vast and numberless, The countless millions stand, Around the great Jehovah’s throne, With waving palms in hand. Refrain: A throng no man can number, As the stars or the sands by the sea; They wave their palms, singing, “Glory be to God, Who giveth us the victory.” 2 Whence came these countless shining ones? Up from earth’s toil and pain, They came thro’ tribulations sore, This heav’nly rest to gain. [Refrain] 3 These are the poor and lowly souls Who passed beneath the rod, Relying on His promise sure, “The lowly shall see God.” [Refrain] 4 And these were kind and merciful, Who trusting in the Lord, Dealt gently with the erring ones, And this their great reward. [Refrain] 5 And these made peace and conquered strife; To them bright crowns are giv’n; The King hath made them sons and heirs, And they inherit heav’n. [Refrain] 6 How came they to this blessed place? And whence their bright array? Their robes are white in Jesus’ blood, Their sins are washed away. [Refrain] Topics: Numberless Host Used With Tune: [A host so vast and numberless]

Beautiful Land of the Blest

Author: J. H. K. Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: By the hut of the peasant where poverty weeps Refrain First Line: Beautiful land! The land of the blest Lyrics: 1 By the hut of the peasant where poverty weeps, And nigh to the tow’rs of the king,— Close, close to the cradle where infancy sleeps, And joy loves to linger and sing, There’s a garden of light full of heaven’s perfume, On its portals no shadows e’er rest, And the roses and lilies are ever in bloom ‘Tis the beautiful land of the blest. Refrain: Beautiful land! The land of the blest; ‘Tis the land of the beautiful; Beautiful land of the blest! 2 Each hour and each moment a messenger comes, And beckons us over the way; Through heart-throbs and sighing, and beating of drums, An army of mortals obey. And the friends that in tears kissed the motionless brow, Shall again meet the loved they have missed; There, beyond the dark vale, they beckon us now To the beautiful land of the blest. [Refrain] 3 Not a charm that we knew ere the bound’ry was crossed, When we stood in the valley alone— No trait that we miss in our darling is lost; ‘Tis fairer and lovelier grown. As the lilies burst forth, when the shadows of night Into bondage at daylight are pressed, So they bask in the glow of the pillar of light, In the beautiful land of the blest. [Refrain] Topics: Loved Ones Departed Used With Tune: [By the hut of the peasant where poverty weeps]

Consider the Lilies

Author: Laura E. Newell Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Consider the lilies; they toil not Refrain First Line: Behold the beautiful lilies Lyrics: 1 Consider the lilies; they toil not, They toil not, nor yet do they spin; And still with a royal apparel, They all their existence begin. Refrain: Behold the beautiful lilies; They toil not, nor yet do they spin; Yet Solomon, in all his glory, Was not arrayed like these. 2 Fair lilies by Him thus created, With beauty so wondrous to see; A marvel of purity, yielding An incense of sweetness so free. [Refrain] 3 Oh, how can we doubt our Redeemer? Oh, how can our faith be so small? We know that He cares for the lilies, And notes if a sparrow should fall. [Refrain] 4 Oh, with our whole hearts let us trust Him! Dear Saviour, we pray Thee renew The faith of Thy children, and strengthen Our souls for a service more true. [Refrain] Topics: Guardian Care Used With Tune: [Consider the lilies; they toil not]
