How Far from Home?

Author: Annie Rebekah Smith Meter: 8.8.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: How far from home I asked, as on Lyrics: 1 How far from home? I asked, as on I bent my steps—the watchman spake: “The long, dark night is almost gone, The morning soon will break. Then weep no more, but speed thy flight, With Hope’s bright star thy guiding ray, Till thou shalt reach the realms of light, In everlasting day.” 2 I asked the warrior on the field; This was his soul-inspiring song: “With courage bold, the sword I’ll wield, The battle is not long. Then weep no more, but well endure The conflict, till thy work is done; For this we know, the prize is sure, When victory is won.” 3 I asked again; earth, sea, and sun Seemed, with one voice, to make reply: “Time’s wasting sands are nearly run, Eternity is nigh. Then weep no more—with warning tones, Portentous sights are thick’ning round, The whole creation, waiting, groans, To hear the trumpet sound.” 4 Not far from home! O blessed thought! The trav’ler’s lonely heart to cheer; Which oft a healing balm has brought, And dried the mourner’s tear. Then weep no more, since we shall meet Where weary footsteps never roam— Our trials past, our joys complete, Safe in our Father’s home.

In the Bleakness of the Winter

Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: New Hymns of Hope #126 Meter: 8.8.8.6 D Lyrics: In the bleakness of the winter, lost in gloomy shades of night, all humanity stands watching, longing for God's promised Light -- Light of God, shine through our darkness, come, Lord Jesus, quickly come! Son of God, come live among us, come, Lord Jesus, quickly come. Once he came, and still he's coming to complete his kingdom's reigh, to relieve all pain and sorrow, to restore earth's peace again -- Doing justice, showing mercy, praying, praising, we will wait, wide awake to greet his coming, ready for the Daystar's light -- Languages: English

Small Church Music

Meter: 8.8.8.6 D Editors: Samuel Medley Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
