I came to Jesus as I was, So weary, worn and sad; I found in him a resting place, And he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world’s light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I’ll walk Till trav'ling days are done. Scripture: John 1:9 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Author: William J. Irons, 1812-1893 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Rites of the Church Order of Christian Funerals: Funeral Liturgy Lyrics: 1 Sing with all the saints in glory, Sing the resurrection song! Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, To the former days belong. All around the clouds are breaking, Soon the storms of time shall cease; In God’s likeness, people waking, Know the everlasting peace. 2 Oh, what glory, far exceeding All that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts, for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits; Ev’ry humble spirit shares it, Christ has passed th'eternal gates. 3 Life eternal! heav’n rejoices: Jesus lives who once was dead; Join with all the heav'nly voices; Child of God, lift up your head! Patriarchs from distant ages, Saints all longing for their heav'n, Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages, All await the glory giv'n. 4 Life eternal! O what wonders Crowd on faith; what joy unknown, When, amid earth's closing thunders, Saints shall stand before the throne! Oh, to enter that bright portal, See that glowing firmament, Know, with you, O God immortal, Jesus Christ whom you have sent!
