Refrain: O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land, As on thy highest mount I stand, I look away across the sea, Where mansions are prepared for me, And view the shining glory shore, My heav’n, my home forevermore! 2 My Savior comes and walks with me, And sweet communion here have we; He gently leads me by His hand, For this is Heaven’s borderland.

Wir Glauben All' An Einen Gott

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Wir glauben All’ an einen Gott Lyrics: 1 Wir glauben All’ an einen Gott, Schöpfer Himmels und der Erden, Der sich zum Vater geben hat, Dass wir seine Kinder werden. Er will uns allzeit ernähren, Leib und Seel’ auch wohl bewahren, Allem Unfall will er wehren, Kein Leid soll uns widerfahren, Er sorget für uns, hüt’t und wacht, Es steht Alles in seiner Macht. 2 Wir glauben auch an Jesum Christ, Seinen Sohn und unser’n Herren, Der ewig bei dem Vater ist, Gleicher Gott von Macht und Ehren, Von Maria der Jungfrauen Ist ein wahrer Mensch geboren Durch den heil’gen Geist im Glauben, Für uns, die wir war’n verloren, Am Kreuz gestorben, und vom Tod Wieder auferstanden durch Gott. 3 Wir glauben an den heil’gen Geist, Gott mit Vater und dem Sohne, Der aller Blöden Troester heisst Und mit Gaben zieret schöne Die ganz’ Christenheit auf Erden, Hält in einem Sinn gar eben, Hie all’ Suend’ vergeben werden, Das Fleisch soll auch wieder leben. Nach diesem Elend ist bereit. Used With Tune: WIR GLAUBEN ALL

O Friend of Souls, how well is me

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Wolfgang C. Deszler Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: O Friend of Souls, how well is me, Whene'er Thy love my spirit calms! From sorrow's dungeon forth I flee, And hide me in Thy shelt'ring arms. The night of weeping flies away Before the heart-reviving ray Of love, that beams from out Thy breast; Here is my heaven on earth begun; Who were not joyful had he won In Thee, O God, his joy and rest! The world may call herself my foe, So be it; for I trust her not, E'en though a friendly face she show, And with her bounties heap my lot. In Thee alone will I rejoice, Thou art the Friend, Lord, of my choice, For Thou art true when friendships fail; 'Mid storms of woe Thy truth is still My anchor; hate me as it will, The world shall o'er me ne'er prevail. Through deserts of the cross Thou leadest, I follow leaning on Thy hand; From out the clouds Thy child Thou feedest, And giv'st him water from the sand. I know Thy wondrous ways will end In love and blessing, Thou true Friend, Enough if Thou art ever near! I know, whom Thou wilt glorify, And raise o'er sun and stars on high, Thou lead'st through depths and darkness here. To others Death seems dark and grim, But not, Thou Life of life, to me; I know Thou ne'er forsakest him Whose heart and spirit rest in Thee. Oh who would fear his journey's close, If from dark woods and lurking foes, He then found safety and release? Nay, rather with a joyful heart From this dark region I depart To Thy eternal light and peace. O Friend of souls, then well indeed Is me, when on Thy love I lean! The world, nor pain, nor death I heed, Since Thou, my God, my joy hast been. Oh let this peace that Thou hast given Be but a foretaste of Thy heaven, For goodness infinite is Thine. Hence, world, with all thy flattering toys! In God alone be all my joys; Oh rich delight, my Friend is mine!
