The Homeland

Author: Hugh R. Haweis Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: The Homeland! O the Homeland! Lyrics: 1. The Homeland! O the Homeland! The land of the freeborn! There's no night in the Homeland, But aye the fadeless morn; I'm sighing for the Homeland, My heart is aching here; There is no pain in the Homeland To which I'm drawing near; There is no pain in the Homeland To which I'm drawing near. 2. My Lord is in the Homeland, With angels bright and fair; There's no sin in the Homeland, And no temptation there; The music of the Homeland Is ringing in my ears; And when I think of the Homeland My eyes are filled with tears; And when I think of the Homeland My eyes are filled with tears. 3. The dwellers in the Homeland Are beck'ning me to come, Where neither death nor sorrow Invades their holy home; O dear, dear native country! O rest and peace above! Christ bring us all to the Homeland Of Thy redeeming love; Christ bring us all to the Homeland Of Thy redeeming love. Used With Tune: [The Homeland! O the Homeland!]

This Same Jesus

Author: Havergal Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: "This same Jesus!" O how sweetly Lyrics: 1. "This same Jesus!"

"This same Jesus!" When the vision Of that last and awful day Bursts upon the prostrate spirit, Like a midnight lightning ray, May we lift our hearts, adoring "This same Jesus," loved and known As our own most gracious Saviour, Seated on the great white throne, 3. He himself, and "not another," He for whom our hearts have yearned Thro' long years of twilight waiting, To his ransomed ones returned; For this word, O Lord, we bless thee, Bless our Master's changeless name; Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus Christ is still the same.
